HAL 5xy
Multipurpose Hall-Effect Sensor Family
The HAL 5xy family consists of different
Hall switches produced in CMOS technol-
ogy. All sensors include a temperature-
compensated Hall plate with active offset
compensation, a comparator, and an open-
drain output transistor. The comparator
compares the actual magnetic flux through
the Hall plate (Hall voltage) with the fixed
reference values (switching points). Accord-
ingly, the output transistor is switched on or
off.
The sensors of this family differ in the
switching behavior and the switching points.
The active offset compensation leads to
constant magnetic characteristics over sup-
ply voltage and temperature range. In addi-
tion, the magnetic parameters are robust
against mechanical stress effects.
The sensors are designed for industrial and
automotive applications and operate with
supply voltages from 3.8 V to 24 V in the
ambient temperature range from –40 °C up
to 150 °C.
All sensors are available in the SMD-pack-
age SOT89B-1 and in the leaded versions
TO92UA-1 and TO92UA-2.

System Architecture
The HAL 5xy sensors are monolithic inte-
grated circuits which switch in response to
magnetic fields. If a magnetic field with flux
lines perpendicular to the sensitive area is
applied to the sensor, the biased Hall plate
forces a Hall voltage proportional to this
field. The Hall voltage is compared with the
actual threshold level in the comparator.
The temperature-dependent bias increases
the supply voltage of the Hall plates and
adjusts the switching points to the decreas-
ing induction of magnets at higher tempera-
tures. If the magnetic field exceeds the
threshold levels, the open drain output
switches to the appropriate state. The built-
in hysteresis eliminates oscillation and pro-
vides switching behavior of the output with-
out bouncing.
