HAL700, HAL740
Dual Hall-Effect Sensors with Independent Outputs
Release Note: Revision bars indicate significant
changes to the previous edition.
1. Introduction
The HAL700 and the HAL740 are monolithic CMOS
Hall-effect sensors consisting of two independent
switches controlling two independent open-drain out-
puts. The Hall plates of the two switches are spaced
2.35 mm apart.
The devices include temperature compensation and
active offset compensation. These features provide
excellent stability and matching of the switching points
in the presence of mechanical stress over the whole
temperature and supply voltage range.
The sensors are designed for industrial and automo-
tive applications and operate with supply voltages
from 3.8 V to 24 V in the ambient temperature range
from
−40 °C
up to 125
°C.
The HAL700 and the HAL740 are available in the
SMD-package SOT89B-2.
Unipolar Sensors:
1.1. Features
– two independent Hall-switches
– distance of Hall plates: 2.35 mm

Switching Behavior

1.2. Family Overview
DATA SHEET
The types differ according to the switching behavior of
the magnetic switching points at the both Hall plates
S1 and S2.

S1: unipolar north sensitive
S2: unipolar south sensitive
Latching Sensors:
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on
the branded side of the package. The output maintains
its previous state if the magnetic field is removed. For
changing the output state, the opposite magnetic field
polarity must be applied.
In case of a south-sensitive switch, 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 switch does not respond to the
magnetic north pole on the branded side.
In case of a north-sensitive switch, the output turns low
with the magnetic north pole on the branded side of
the package and turns high if the magnetic field is
removed. The switch does not respond to the mag-
netic south pole on the branded side.

tion, please refer to the brochure: “Hall Sensors:
Ordering Codes, Packaging, Handling”.

Note:
Due to power dissipation, there is a difference
between the ambient temperature (T
A
) and junc-
tion temperature. Please refer to section 5.1. on
page 20 for details.
1.6. Solderability and Welding
Soldering
During soldering reflow processing and manual
reworking, a component body temperature of 260 °C
should not be exceeded.
Welding
Device terminals should be compatible with laser and
resistance welding. Please note that the success of
the welding process is subject to different welding
parameters which will vary according to the welding
technique used. A very close control of the welding
parameters is absolutely necessary in order to reach
satisfying results. Micronas, therefore, does not give
any implied or express warranty as to the ability to
weld the component.
