Linear Hall Effect Sensor
1. Functional Diagram
2. Description
The MLX90242 is a CMOS Linear Hall Effect
sensor IC. It possesses active error correction
circuitry which virtually eliminates the offset
errors normally associated with analog Hall Effect
devices.
The ratiometric output voltage is proportional to
the supply voltage. When using the supply voltage
as a reference for an A/D converter, fluctuations
of ±10% in supply voltage will not affect accuracy.
For a positive slope, the voltage at the output will
increase as a South magnetic field is applied to
the branded face of the MLX90242. Conversely,
the voltage output will decrease in the presence
of a North magnetic field. For a negative slope,
the voltage at the output will increase as a North
magnetic field is applied to the branded face of
the MLX90242. Conversely, the voltage output will
decrease in the presence of a South magnetic
field.
3. Glossary of Terms
- Gauss, Tesla: Two units to quantify a magnetic flux density. Conversion: 1 mT = 10 Gauss
- Voq: Quiescent output voltage. Output voltage for B = 0mT.

Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute -maximum-
rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

7. Applications Information
C1 and C2 values can be trimmed to satisfied EMC requirements according to the environment (PCB, connectors,...).
The output rise time is affected for large capacitor C2, depending of the couple R1 and C2.
