AH173
INTERNAL PULLUP HALL EFFECT LATCH FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE
Description
AH173 is a single-digital-output Hall effect latch sensor with pullup resistor for high-temperature operation. The device includes an onchip Hall voltage generator for magnetic sensing, an amplifier to amplify Hall voltage, a comparator to provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, and an output driver with a pullup resistor (Rpu). An internal bandgap regulator provides a temperature compensated supply voltage for internal circuits and allows a wide operating supply range.
When the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than operate point (Bop), output is switched on (OUT pin is pulled low).
