HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL
The A3250x operate point and A3251x release point are
programmed by serially addressing the device through the
supply terminal (pin1). After the correct operate/release
point is determined, the device programming bits are
selected and then a “lock” set to prevent any further
(accidental) programming.
Program Enable.
To program the device, a sequence of
pulses is used to activate/enable the addressing mode as
shown in figure 1. This sequence of a V
PP
pulse, at least
seven V
PH
pulses, and a V
PP
pulse with no supply interrup-
tions, is designed to prevent the device from being pro-
grammed accidentally (for example, as a result of noise on
the supply line).
