HS517R
Omnipolar CMOS Output Hall Effect Switch
General Description
The HS517R Omnipolar Hall effect sensor IC is fabricated from mixed signal CMOS technology. It incorporates advanced chopper-stabilization techniques to provide accurate and stable magnetic switch points.
The circuit design provides an internally controlled clocking mechanism to cycle power to the Hall element and analog signal processing circuits.This serves to place the high current-cons uming portions of the circuit into a “Sleep” mode. Periodically the device is “Awakened” by this internal logic and the magnetic flux from the Hall element is evaluated against the predefined thresholds. If the flux density is above or below the B OP/BRP thresholds then the output transistor is driven to change states accordingly.
