PRODUCT INFORMATION

HAL 5xy

Multipurpose Hall-Effect Sensor Family

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The HAL 5xy family consists of different

Hall switches produced in CMOS technol-

ogy. All sensors include a temperature-

compensated Hall plate with active offset

compensation, a comparator, and an open-

drain output transistor. The comparator

compares the actual magnetic flux through

the Hall plate (Hall voltage) with the fixed

reference values (switching points). Accord-

ingly, the output transistor is switched on or

off.

The sensors of this family differ in the

switching behavior and the switching points.

The active offset compensation leads to

constant magnetic characteristics over sup-

ply voltage and temperature range. In addi-

tion, the magnetic parameters are robust

against mechanical stress effects.

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 150 °C.

All sensors are available in the SMD-pack-

age SOT89B-1 and in the leaded versions

TO92UA-1 and TO92UA-2.
