2 General Description
The Melexis US3881 is a Hall-effect latch
designed in mixed signal CMOS technology.
The device integrates a voltage regulator, Hall
sensor with dynamic offset cancellation system,
Schmitt trigger and an open-drain output driver, all
in a single package.
The low operating voltage and extended choice of
temperature range make it suitable for use in
automotive, industrial and consumer low voltage
applications.
The devices are delivered in a Thin Small Outline
Transistor (TSOT) for surface mount process and
in a Plastic Single In Line (TO-92 flat) for through-
hole mount.
Both 3-lead packages are RoHS compliant.

US3881
Hall Latch
Low Voltage & High Sensitivity
9 Detailed General Description
Based on mixed signal CMOS technology, Melexis US3881 is a Hall-effect device with high magnetic
sensitivity. This multi-purpose latch suits most of the application requirements.
The chopper-stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor techniques to suppress the offset generally
observed with Hall sensors and amplifiers. The CMOS technology makes this advanced technique possible
and contributes to smaller chip size and lower current consumption than bipolar technology. The small chip
size is also an important factor to minimize the effect of physical stress.
This combination results in more stable magnetic characteristics and enables faster and more precise design.
The operating voltage from 2.2V to 18V, low current consumption and large choice of operating temperature
range according to “L”, “K” and “E” specification make this device suitable for automotive, industrial and
consumer low voltage applications.
The output signal is open-drain type. Such output allows simple connectivity with TTL or CMOS logic by using
a pull-up resistor tied between a pull-up voltage and the device output.
10 Unique Features
The US3881 exhibits latch magnetic switching characteristics. Therefore, it requires both south and north
poles to operate properly.
SE package - Latch characteristic
UA package - Latch characteristic
The device behaves as a latch with symmetric operating and release switching points (B
OP
=|B
RP
|). This
means magnetic fields with equivalent strength and opposite direction drive the output high and low.
Removing the magnetic field (B→0) keeps the output in its previous state. This latching property defines the
device as a magnetic memory.
A magnetic hysteresis B
HYST
keeps B
OP
and B
RP
separated by a minimal value. This hysteresis prevents
output oscillation near the switching point.
