A1128
Highly Programmable Hall-Effect Switch
Features and Benefits
Description
• Chopper stabilization for stable switchpoints throughout
operating temperature range
TheA1128isafield-programmable,unipolarHall-effectswitch
designed for use in high-temperature applications. This device
uses a chopper-stabilization technique to eliminate offset
inherent in single-element devices.
• Externally programmable:

automotive applications
• On-board voltage regulator for 3 to 24 V operation
• On-chip protection against:
▫ꢀSupplyꢀtransients
The devices are externally programmable. A wide range of
programmability is available on the magnetic operate point,
BOP, while the hysteresis remains fixed. This advanced
feature allows optimization of the sensor IC switchpoint and
can drastically reduce the effects of mechanical placement
tolerances found in end-use production environments.

▫ꢀReverseꢀbatteryꢀcondition
A proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with
an internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset
voltage, which is normally caused by device overmolding,
temperaturedependencies, andthermalstress. HavingtheHall

normally associated with low-level analog signals.
