A3212
Package Suffix ‘LH’ Pinning
(SOT23W)
MICROPOWER, ULTRA-SENSITIVE
HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
The A3212 integrated circuit is an ultra-sensitive, pole independent Hall-
effect switch with a latched digital output. This sensor is especially suited for
operation in battery-operated, hand-held equipment such as cellular and cordless
telephones, pagers, and palmtop computers. A 2.5 volt to 3.5 volt operation and a
unique clocking scheme reduce the average operating power requirements to less
than 15
µW
with a 2.75 volt supply.
Unlike other Hall-effect switches, either a north or south pole of suf
fi
cient
strength will turn the output on; in the absence of a magnetic
fi
eld, the output
is off. The polarity independence and minimal power requirement allow these
devices to easily replace reed switches for superior reliability and ease of manu-
facturing, while eliminating the requirement for signal conditioning.
Improved stability is made possible through chopper stabilization (dynamic
offset cancellation), which reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused
by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress.
This device includes on a single silicon chip a Hall-voltage generator,
small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, a latch, and a MOSFET output.
Advanced BiCMOS processing is used to take advantage of low-voltage and
low-power requirements, component matching, very low input-offset errors, and
small component geometries.
Three package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for most ap-
plications. Package suffixes 'EH' and ‘LH’ are for miniature low-profile (lead-
less and leaded, respectively) surface-mount packages while suffix ‘UA’ is for
a three-lead SIP for through-hole mounting. Each package is available in a lead
(Pb) free version (suffix,
–T)
with 100% matte tin plated leadframe.
