GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
T he AD22151 is a linear magnetic field transducer. T he sensor
output is a voltage proportional to a magnetic field applied
perpendicularly to the package top surface.

T he sensor combines integrated bulk Hall cell technology and
instrumentation circuitry to minimize temperature related drifts
associated with silicon Hall cell characteristics. T he architecture
maximizes the advantages of a monolithic implementation while
allowing sufficient versatility to meet varied application require-
ments with a minimum number of components.

Principle features include dynamic offset drift cancellation and a
built-in temperature sensor. Designed for single +5 volt supply
operation, the AD22151 achieves low drift offset and gain op-
eration over –40°C to +150°C. T emperature compensation can
accommodate a number of magnetic materials commonly uti-
lized in economic position sensor assemblies.

T he transducer may be configured for specific signal gains de-
pendent upon application requirements. Output voltage can be
adjusted from fully bipolar (reversible) field operation to fully
unipolar field sensing.

T he voltage output achieves near rail-to-rail dynamic range,
capable of supplying 1 mA into large capacitive loads. T he sig-
nal is ratiometric to the positive supply rail in all configurations.
