IMC-Hall® Current Sensor (Triaxis® Technology)
Datasheet
4. General Description
The MLX91206 is a monolithic sensor IC featuring the Triais® Hall technology. Conventional planar Hall technology is
only sensitive to the flux density applied orthogonally to the IC surface. The IMC-Hall® current sensor is sensitive to the
flux density applied parallel to the IC surface. This is obtained through an Integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC-
Hall®) which is deposited on the CMOS die (as an additional back-end step). The IMC-Hall® current sensor is
automotive qualified.
The product is a single chip Hall sensor which provides an output signal which is proportional to the flux density
applied horizontally and is therefore suitable for current measurement. It is ideally used as an open loop current
sensor for PCB mounting. (see figure 2). It features small size application design and a simple construction for various
current ranges.
The transfer characteristic of the MLX91206 is programmable (offset, gain, clamping levels, diagnostic functions…). The
output is selectable between analog and PWM. The linear analog output is used for application where a very fast
response (<10
sec)
is required, whereas the PWM output is used for application where low speed but high output
signal robustness is required.
