Hall-Effect Switch IC Family
1.1. Family Overview
Note: The HAL1xy family has been designed for com-
mercial and industrial applications. It is not intended to
be used in automotive or automotive-like applications.
This sensor family consists of sensors with a latching
and unipolar output behavior.

The HAL1xy Hall switch family is produced in CMOS
technology. The sensors include a temperature-com-
pensated Hall plate with active offset compensation, a
comparator, and an open-drain output transistor. The
comparator compares the actual magnetic flux through
the Hall plate (Hall voltage) with the fixed reference
values (switching points). Accordingly, the output tran-
sistor is switched on or off.

The active offset compensation leads to magnetic
parameters which are robust against mechanical
stress effects. In addition, the magnetic characteristics
are constant in the full supply voltage and temperature
range.

The HAL1xy family is available in the SMD-package
SOT89B-3 and in the leaded version TO92UA-6.
Unipolar Sensors:
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on
the branded side of the package and turns high if the
magnetic field is removed. The sensor does not
respond to the magnetic north pole on the branded side.
Latching Sensors:
The sensors have a latching behavior and require a
magnetic north and south pole for correct functioning.
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on
the branded side of the package and turns high with
the magnetic north pole on the branded side. The
output does not change if the magnetic field is
removed. For changing the output state, the opposite
magnetic field polarity must be applied.
