– the decrease of magnetic flux density caused by ris-
ing temperature in the sensor system is compen-
sated by a built-in negative temperature coefficient

and industrial environments
1. Introduction
– EMC corresponding to ISO 7637
This sensor family consists of different two-wire Hall
switches produced in CMOS technology. All sensors
change the current consumption depending on the
external magnetic field and require only two wires
between sensor and evaluation circuit. The sensors of
this family differ in the magnetic switching behavior
and switching points.

The sensors include a temperature-compensated Hall
plate with active offset compensation, a comparator,
and a current source. The comparator compares the
actual magnetic flux through the Hall plate (Hall volt-
age) with the fixed reference values (switching points).
Accordingly, the current source is switched on (high
current consumption) or off (low current consumption).

The active offset compensation leads to constant mag-
netic characteristics in the full supply voltage and tem-
perature range. In addition, the magnetic parameters
are robust against mechanical stress effects.

The sensors are designed for industrial and automo-
tive applications and operate with supply voltages from
3.75 V to 24 V in the junction temperature range from
−40 °C up to 140 °C. All sensors are available in the
SMD package SOT89B-1 and in the leaded versions
TO92UA-1 and TO92UA-2.
Unipolar Switching Sensors:
The sensor turns to high current consumption with the
magnetic south pole on the branded side of the pack-
age and turns to low consumption if the magnetic field
is removed. The sensor does not respond to the mag-
netic north pole on the branded side.
