HAL 2xy
Low-Cost Hall-Effect Sensor Family
The HAL 2xy Hall switch family is produced
in CMOS technology. The sensors include a
temperature-compensated Hall plate with
active offset compensation, a comparator,
and an open-drain output transistor.
The comparator compares the actual mag-
netic flux through the Hall plate (Hall volt-
age) with the fixed reference values (switch-
ing points). Accordingly, the output
transistor is switched on or off.
The active offset compensation leads to
magnetic parameters which are robust
against mechanical stress effects. In addi-
tion, the magnetic characteristics are con-
stant in the full supply voltage and tempera-
ture range.
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 125
°C.
The HAL 2xy family is available in the
SOT89B SMD package and in the leaded
TO92UA package.

System Architecture
The Hall-effect sensor is a monolithic inte-
grated circuit that switches 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 is used to
compensate the decreasing induction of
magnets at higher temperatures. If the mag-
netic field exceeds the threshold levels, the
open-drain output switches to the appropri-
ate state. The built-in hysteresis eliminates
oscillation and provides switching behavior
of output without bouncing.
Magnetic offset caused by mechanical
stress is compensated for by using the
“switching offset compensation technique”.
