Description
The A3241 and A3242 integrated circuits are unipolar Hall-
effect switches with digital outputs. These devices are suited
for operation over extended temperature ranges, up to +150°C.
Superior high-temperature performance is made possible
through an Allegro
®
dynamic offset cancellation, which
reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused by
device overmolding, temperature excursions, and thermal
stress.
The A3241 and A3242 Hall-effect switches include the
following on a single silicon chip: voltage regulator, Hall-
voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization,
Schmitt trigger, and a short circuit protected open-drain output.
Advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication processing is used to
take advantage of low-voltage requirements, component
matching, very low input-offset errors, and small component
geometries.
The integrated voltage regulator permits operation from 3.6 to
24 V. The unipolar family members operate with a sufficient
south polarity field only, turning off in the absence of such a
south polarity field.
Packages: 3 pin SOT23W (suffix LH), and
3 pin SIP (suffix UA)

Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall Effect Switches
Description (continued)
The A3241 and A3242 are rated for operation between the ambient
temperatures –40°C and 85°C for the E temperature range, and –40°C
to 150°C for the L temperature range. The small geometries of the
BiCMOS process allow these devices to be provided in ultrasmall
packages. The package styles available provide magnetically
optimized solutions for most applications. Package LH is an SOT23W,
a miniature low-profile surface-mount package, while package UA is
a three-lead ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting. Each package
is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin plated leadframes.

Magnetic
fl
ux density, B, is indicated as a negative value for north-polarity magnetic
fi
elds, and as a positive value for south-polarity magnetic
fi
elds.
This so-called algebraic convention supports arithmetic comparison of north and south polarity values, where the relative strength of the
fi
eld is indicated
by the absolute value of B, and the sign indicates the polarity of the
fi
eld (for example, a –100 G
fi
eld and a 100 G
fi
eld have equivalent strength, but
opposite polarity).
