AH8231
HALL SWITCH OMNIPOLAR HALL EFFECT SWITCH IC
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The AH8231 is designed to integrate pole independent Hall sensor with output driver together on the same chip. Either North or South magnetic field with sufficient strength will turn the output on (low). In the absence of a magnetic field, output is off (high). The polarity independence allow AH8231 to easily replace reed switches for superior reliability and case of manufacturing. To improve stability, it includes a temperature compensated voltage regulator, a differential amplifier, a Hysteresis controller, and an open collector output driver capable of sinking up to 20mA current load.
