High Sensitivity Low Power TMR Switch Datasheet
LF22214TMR
TMR Omni-polar Switch 14 Gauss 1.5uA Open Drain Sensor
Description
The LF22214TMR TMR Switch is a digital omni-polar magnetic
switch that integrates TMR and CMOS technology in order to
provide a magnetically triggered digital switch with high sensitivity,
high speed, and low power consumption.
It contains a TMR magnetic sensor and CMOS signal processing
circuitry within the same package, including an on-chip TMR
voltage generator for precise magnetic sensing, a TMR voltage
amplifier and comparator plus a Schmitt trigger to provide
switching hysteresis for noise rejection, CMOS open drain output
and X axis sensing direction.
An internal band gap regulator is used to provide a temperature
compensated supply voltage for internal circuits, permitting a wide
range of supply voltages.
It draws only 1.5μA (see Features below) resulting in low power
operation, additionally it has fast response, accurate switching
points, excellent thermal stability, and immunity to stray field
interference. It is available in the SOT23-3 package. The output of
the LF22214TMR switches low (turns on) when the magnetic field
parallel to the sensing axis exceeds the operate point threshold,
BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point
BRP device output switches high (turns off). The difference
between the BOP and the BRP is the hysteresis BH of the device.

Note: It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be connected in-close-proximity to
the device between the supply and ground pins to reduce noise. The recommended value for the external
bypass capacitor is 0.1μF.
