Description
The A1220, A1221, A1222, and A1223 Hall-effect sensor ICs
are extremely temperature-stable and stress-resistant devices
especially suited for operation over extended temperature ranges
to 150°C. Superior high-temperature performance is made
possible through dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the
residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding,
temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. Each device
includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator, Hall-
voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization,
Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit protected open-drain output
to sink up to 25 mA. A south pole of sufficient strength turns
the output on. A north pole of sufficient strength is necessary
to turn the output off.
An onboard regulator permits operation with supply voltages
of 3 to 24 V. The advantage of operating down to 3 V is that
the device can be used in 3-V applications or with additional
external resistance in series with the supply pin for greater
protection against high voltage transient events.
Packages:
3-pin SOT23W (suffix LH)
3-pin SIP (suffix UA)
Two package styles provide magnetically optimized packages
for most applications. Package type LH is a modified 3-pin
SOT23W surface mount package while UA is a three-pin ultra-
mini SIP for through hole mounting. Both packages are lead
(Pb) free, with 100% matte tin plated leadframes.
