1. Introduction
The HAL182x is a new family of linear Hall-effect sen-
sors. It is a universal magnetic field sensor with a ratio-
metric, linear analog output. This sensor family can be
used for magnetic field measurements, current mea-
surements and detection of mechanical movements.
Very accurate angle measurements or distance mea-
surements can also be done. The sensors are very
robust and can be used in harsh environments.
The output voltage is proportional to the magnetic flux
density through the hall plate. The choppered offset
compensation leads to stable magnetic characteristics
over supply voltage and temperature.
The different family members vary by sensitivity
(25 mV/mT, 31.25 mV/mT and 50 mV/mT). The quies-
cent output voltage (offset) is for all family members
50% of supply voltage.
The sensor is designed for industrial applications and
operates in the junction temperature range from –40 °C
up to 170 °C.

1.1. Major Applications
Due to the sensor’s robust characteristics, the
HAL182x is the optimal system solution for applica-
tions such as:
– linear position measurements,
– angle sensors,
– distance measurements,
– magnetic field and current measurement.

1.7. 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.
