A3250 and A3251
Field-Programmable, Chopper-Stabilized
Unipolar Hall-Effect Switches
The A3250 and A3251 are field-programmable, chopper-stabilized, unipolar Hall-
effect switches designed for use in high-temperature applications. These devices
use a chopper-stabilization technique to eliminate offset inherent in single-element
devices.
Package UA, 3-pin SIP
The A3250 and A3251 are externally programmable devices. The devices have a
wide range of programmability of the magnetic operate point (B
OP
) while the hys-
teresis remains fixed. This advanced feature allows for optimization of the sensor
switchpoint and can drastically reduce the effects of variations found in a produc-
tion environment, such as magnet and device placement tolerances.
These devices provide on-chip transient protection. A Zener clamp on the power
supply protects against overvoltage conditions on the supply line. These devices
also include short-circuit protection on the output.
The output of the A3250 switches LOW when subjected to a south-polarity mag-
netic field with a flux density that exceeds the threshold for B
OP
, and switches
HIGH when the field drops below the magnetic release point, B
RP
. The output of
the A3251 has the opposite polarity, switching HIGH in a south-polarity magnetic
field that B
OP
, and switching LOW when the field drops below B
RP
.
The other differences in the devices are the power-on state. The A3250 powers-on
in the HIGH state, while the A3251 powers-on in the LOW state.
These devices are available in a TO-92 three-lead ultra-mini SIP (Single In-line
Package), with either straight or formed and trimmed lead configuration.

Do not exceed TJ(max): Additional information on power derating is provided in the applications section.
Short-circuit protection is not intended for continuous operation; permanent damage may result.
Device can be used below 50 G but is not guaranteed to be a unipolar switch. It is the responsibility of the programmer to verify that the desired
switchpoint has been achieved.
