US5782
Unipolar Hall Switch – Medium Sensitivity
9 Detailed General Description
Based on mixed signal CMOS technology, Melexis US5782 is a Hall-effect device with medium magnetic
sensitivity. Its sensitivity enables high accuracy in position sensing by the use of small air gap.
The chopper-stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor technique 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 wide operating voltage from 3.5V to 24V, wide operating temperature according “L” specification and low
current consumption make this device especially suitable for automotive and solid state switch 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 US5782 exhibits unipolar magnetic switching characteristics. Therefore, it operates only with one
magnetic pole.
The US5782 device is south pole active:
Applying a south magnetic pole greater than B
OP
facing the
branded side of the package switches the output low.
Removing the magnetic field (B→0) switches the output high.
The use of the opposite magnetic pole facing the branded side
does not affect the output state.
Unipolar switch characteristic
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.
