Functional Description
The TLE 4917 is an Integrated Hall-Effect Sensor designed specifically to meet the
requirements of low-power devices. e.g. as an On/Off switch in Cellular Flip-Phones, with
battery operating voltages of 2.4V – 5.5V.
Precise magnetic switching points and high temperature stability are achieved through the
unique design of the internal circuit.
An onboard clock scheme is used to reduce the average operating current of the IC.
During the operate phase the IC compares the actual magnetic field detected with the
internally compensated switching points. The output Q is switched at the end of each
operating phase.
During the Stand-by phase the output stage is latched and the current consumption of the
device reduced to some µA.
The IC switching behaviour is omnipolar, i.e. it can be switched on with either the North or
South pole of a magnet.
The PRG pin can be connected to VS which holds the output VQ at a High level for B=0mT;
conversely the output VQ can be inverted by connecting the PRG pin to GND, which will
hold the output VQ at a Low level for B=0mT. In this later case the presence of an adequate
magnetic field will cause the output VQ to switch to a High level ( i.e. off state ).
