BIPOLAR HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION
This low-hysteresis bipolar Hall-effect switch is an extremely
temperature-stable and stress-resistant sensor especially suited for
operation over extended temperature ranges to +150°C. Superior
high-temperature performance is made possible through a novel Schmitt
trigger circuit that maintains operate and release point stability by
compensating for temperature changes in the Hall element. Additionally,
internal compensation provides magnetic switch points that become more
sensitive with temperature, hence offsetting the usual degradation of the
magnetic field with temperature. Its low hysteresis makes this device
ideal for detecting small changes in magnetic field strength or for use
with inexpensive magnets.
The device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator,
quadratic Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuit,
signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and a buffered open-collector output to
sink up to 25 mA. The on-board regulator permits operation with supply
voltages of 4.5 volts to 24 volts.
The first character of the part number suffix determines the device
operating temperature range. Suffix ‘E–’ is for -40°C to +85°C, and
suffix ‘L–’ is -40°C to +150°C. Two package styles provide a magneti-
cally optimized package for most applications. Suffix ‘–LT’ is a minia-
ture SOT89/TO-243AA transistor package for surface-mount applica-
tions while suffix ‘–UA’ is a three-lead ultra-mini-SIP.

The output of these devices (pin 3) switches low when the magnetic field
at the Hall sensor exceeds the operate point threshold (B
OP
). At this point, the
output voltage is V
OUT(SAT)
. When the magnetic field is reduced to below the
release point (B
RP
) the device output goes high. Note especially that release
can occur when the magnetic field is removed but to ensure release, a field
reversal is required. The difference in the magnetic operate and release points
is called the hysteresis (B
hys
) of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows
clean switching of the output even in the presence of external mechanical
vibration and electrical noise.
Powering up the device in the absence of a magnetic field (less than B
OP
and higher than B
RP
) will allow in indeterminate output state. The correct state
is warranted after the first excursion beyond B
OP
or B
RP
.
