Applications. Allegro's pole-independent sensing technique
allows for operation with either a north pole or south pole
magnet orientation, enhancing the manufacturability of the
device. The state-of-the-art technology provides the same
output polarity for either pole face.
Package Designators ‘UA’, UA-LC', and ‘UA-TL’
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capaci-
tor be connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor) between
the supply and ground of the device to reduce both external
noise and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization tech-
nique. This is especially true due to the relatively high imped-
ance of battery supplies.

The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices
is a bar magnet with either pole near the branded surface of the
device. Many other methods of operation are possible. Exten-
sive applications information on magnets and Hall-effect
sensors is also available in the Allegro Electronic Data Book

Although sensor location is accurate to three sigma for a
particular design, product improvements may result in small
changes to sensor location.
