HAL 1821/1822/1823
HAL® 1821/1822/1823
Linear Hall-Effect Sensor Family
The HAL 1821/1822/1823 are new mem-
They are available in the very small leaded
package TO92UA and in the small SMD
package SOT89B.
Major Applications
bers of the linear Hall-effect sensor family
HAL 182x, offering excellent performance/
price trade-off. They are universal magnetic
field sensors with a ratiometric, linear ana-
log output. The members of the sensor fam-
ily can be used for magnetic field measure-
Due to the sensor’s versatile program-
ming characteristics and its high accu-
racy, the HAL 1821/1822/1823 is the
optimal system solution for applications
such as:

and
– Linear position measurements
– Angle sensors
– Distance measurements
– Current measurements
– Magnetic field measurements
detection of any mechanical movement.
Very accurate angle measurements or dis-
tance measurements can also be carried
out. The sensors are very robust and can
be used in harsh electrical and mechanical
environments.
Temperature and stress stable quiescent

On-chip temperature compensation
Active offset compensation
Family Overview
The output voltage is proportional to the
magnetic flux density through the Hall plate.
The choppered offset compensation leads
to stable magnetic characteristics over sup-
ply voltage and temperature.

The different family members vary by
sensitivity (25 mV/mT, 31.25 mV/mT and
50 mV/mT). The quiescent output voltage
(offset) for all family members is 50% of the
supply voltage.
Operates with static magnetic fields and
dynamic magnetic fields up to 1 kHz

Magnetic characteristics are extremely
robust against mechanical stress.
The sensors are designed for industrial and
automotive applications and operate in the
junction temperature range from –40 °C up
to 170 °C.
