HAL 2xy
HAL 2xy
Low-Cost Hall-Effect Sensor Family
The HAL 2xy Hall switch family is produced
Features
Major Applications
in CMOS technology. The sensors include a
temperature-compensated Hall plate with
active offset compensation, a comparator,
and an open-drain output transistor.
Operates from 3.8 V to 24 V supply volt-
age
The HAL 2xy is the optimal system solution
for applications, such as:
Operates with static magnetic fields and
dynamic magnetic fields up to 10 kHz
Endposition detection
The comparator compares the actual mag-
netic flux through the Hall plate (Hall volt-
age) with the fixed reference values (switch-
ing points). Accordingly, the output
transistor is switched on or off.
RPM measurement of motors in various
applications, such as power window
Overvoltage protection at all pins
Reverse-voltage protection at V pin
DD
Brushless DC motors
Magnetic characteristics are robust
against mechanical stress effects
RPM measurements in flow meters
Replacement of micro switches
The active offset compensation leads to
magnetic parameters which are robust
against mechanical stress effects. In addi-
tion, the magnetic characteristics are con-
stant in the full supply voltage and tempera-
ture range.
Short-circuit protected open-drain out-
put by thermal shut down
Constant switching points over a wide
supply voltage and temperature range
The decrease of magnetic flux density
caused by rising temperature in the sen-
sor system is compensated by a built-in
negative temperature coefficient of the
magnetic characteristics
The sensors are designed for industrial and
automotive applications and operate with
supply voltages from 3.8 V to 24 V in the
ambient temperature range from −40 °C up
to 125 °C.
High temperature stability for automotive
or industrial applications
High ESD rating
The HAL 2xy family is available in the
SOT89B SMD package and in the leaded
TO92UA package.
