A1172
Micropower Ultra-Sensitive Hall-Effect Switch
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Micropower operation
The A1172 is an ultra-sensitive, pole-independent Hall-effect
▪ Operation with either north or south pole—
no magnetic orientation required during assembly
▪ 1.65 to 3.5 V battery operation
▪ Chopper stabilization
switch with a latched digital output. It features operation at
low supply currents and voltages, making it ideal for battery-
operated electronics. The 1.65 to 3.5 V operating supply
voltage and unique clocking algorithm reduce the average
operating power requirements to less than 15 μW with a
2.75 V supply.
▫ Superior temperature stability
▫ Extremely low switchpoint drift
▫ Insensitive to physical stress
▪ Solid state reliability
The A1172 has two push-pull output structures. Omnipolar
activation for the output function is available on each output
structure. As such, either a north or south pole of sufficient
strength turns the available outputs off or on. The A1172
contains two complementary outputs. Therefore, for a fixed
magnetic field, one output will be in a high voltage state and
one output will be in a low voltage state.
▪ Small size: WLCSP (≈ 1 mm × 1 mm × 0.5 mm)
▪ Complementary, push-pull outputs eliminate need for
pull-up resistor
Package: 4 pin WLCSP (suffix CG)
Improved stability is made possible through dynamic offset
cancellation using chopper stabilization, which reduces the
residualoffsetvoltagenormallycausedbydeviceovermolding,
temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. This device
