4.4. HAL548
Applications
The HAL548 is a unipolar switching sensor (see
Fig. 4–10).
The HAL548 is the ideal sensor for all applications
with one magnetic polarity and weak magnetic ampli-
tude 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 if the
magnetic field is removed. The sensor does not
respond to the magnetic north pole on the branded
side.
– solid state switches,
– contactless solution to replace micro switches,
– position and end point detection, and
– rotating speed measurement.
Magnetic Features:

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
