A6850 Overview
The Allegro™ A6850 is designed to interface between a microprocessor and a pair of two-wire Hall effect sensor ICs. The A6850 uses protected high-side low resistance DMOS MOSFETs to switch the supply voltage to the two Hall effect devices. Each switch can be controlled independently via individual ENABLE pins and both switches are protected with current-limiting circuitry.
