HAL 516
DATA SHEET
4.10. HAL 516
Applications
The HAL 516 is the most sensitive unipolar switching
sensor with an inverted output of this family (see
Fig. 4–37).
The HAL 516 is the optimal sensor for all applications
with one magnetic polarity and weak magnetic ampli-
tude at the sensor position where an inverted output
signal is required such as:
The output turns high with the magnetic south pole on
the branded side of the package and turns low if the
magnetic field is removed. The sensor does not
respond to the magnetic north pole on the branded
side.
– applications with large air gap or weak magnets,
– solid state switches,
– contactless solution to replace microswitches,
– position and end-point detection, and
– rotating speed measurement.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor
requires only the magnetic south pole on the branded
side of the package.
Output Voltage
In the HAL 5xx family, the HAL 506 is a sensor with the
same magnetic characteristics but with a normal out-
put characteristic.

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
