A3212

FEATURES AND BENEFITS AEC-Q100 automotive qualified Micropower operation Operation with north or south pole 2.5 to 3.5 V battery operation Chopper stabilized □□Superior temperature stability □□Extremely low switchpoint drift □□Insensitive to physical stress High ESD protection Solid-state reliability Small size Easily manufacturable with magnet pole independence Packages: DFN (EL) DFN (EH) SOT23W (LH) Not to scale SIP (UA) A3211 and A3212 Micropower, Ultrasensitive Hall-Effect Switches DESCRIPTION TheA3211 andA3212 integrated circuits are ultrasensitive, pole independent Hall-effect switches with latched digital output. These devices are especially suited for operation in batteryoperated, hand-held equipment such as cellular and cordless telephones, pagers, and palmtop computers. A 2.5 to 3.5 V operation and a unique clocking scheme reduce the average operating power requirements to less than 15 μW with a 2.75 V supply. Unlike other Hall-effect switches, either a north or south pole of sufficient strength will turn the output on in the A3212, and in the absence of a magnetic field, the output is off. The A3211 provides an inverted output. The polarity independence and minimal power requirements allow these devices to easily replace reed switches for superior reliability and ease of manufacturing, while eliminating the requirement for signal conditioning. Improved stability is made possible through chopper stabilization (dynamic offset cancellati...
