HAL 502
DATA SHEET
4.2. HAL 502
Applications
The HAL 502 is the most sensitive latching sensor of
this family (see Fig. 4–5).
The HAL 502 is the optimal sensor for all applications
with alternating magnetic signals and weak magnetic
amplitude at the sensor position such as:
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 out-
put does not change if the magnetic field is removed.
For changing the output state, the opposite magnetic
field polarity must be applied.
– applications with large air gap or weak magnets,
– rotating speed measurement,
– commutation of brushless DC motors,
– CAM shaft sensors, and
– magnetic encoders.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor
requires both magnetic polarities (north and south) on
the branded side of the package.

The hysteresis is the difference between the switching points BHYS = BON − BOFF
The magnetic offset is the mean value of the switching points BOFFSET = (BON + BOFF) / 2
