AH1388
ULTRA SENSITIVE DUAL OUTPUT
UNIPOLAR HALL EFFECT SWITCH
Description
Pin Assignments
The AH1388 is a miniature micropower magnetic Unipolar Hall effect
switch IC with dual outputs specifically designed for portable and battery
powered consumer equipment to home appliances and industrial
applications. To support battery powered equipment and low voltage
microcontrollers, the AH1388 can operate over the supply range of 1.6V
to 3.6V and uses a sleep function to give an average supply current of
only 12μA at 1.85V. To minimize PCB space, the AH1388 is packaged in
small low profile X2-DFN1410-4.

Output1 (North-Pole)

A North pole of sufficient strength will turn Output1 on and a South pole
of sufficient strength will turn on Output2. The Output1 is turned on (pulled
low) when the magnetic flux density (B), perpendicular to the part
marking surface, falls below North field operate point BOPN (-17G typical).
The Output1 is held low until B rises above the North field release point
BRPN (-11G typical). Similarly, the Output2 will operate (pulled low) when
B to the part marking surface rises above South field operate point BOPS
(17G typical) and is held low until B falls below the South field release
point BRPS (11G typical).
