System Architecture
The HAL 85x sensors are produced in a
proven automotive submicron CMOS tech-
nology.
The HAL 85x features a temperature-com-
pensated Hall plate with choppered offset
compensation, an A/D converter, digital sig-
nal processing, an open-drain output or out-
put current source, an EEPROM memory
with redundancy and lock function for the
calibration data and the output characteris-
tic, a serial interface for programming the
EEPROM, and protection devices on all
pins
The HAL 85x is programmable by modulat-
ing the supply voltage. No additional pro-
gramming pin is needed.

The internal digital signal processing is a
great benefit because analog offsets, tem-
perature shifts, and mechanical stress do
not degrade the sensor accuracy.
