2. General Description
TM
The MLX90248 Omnipolar
Hall effect sensor technology.
It incorporates advanced chopper-stabilization techniques
to provide accurate and stable magnetic switch points.
The circuit design provides an internally controlled clocking
mechanism to cycle power to the Hall element and analog
signal processing circuits.
This serves to place the high current-consuming portions of
the circuit into a “Sleep” mode. Periodically the device is
“Awakened” by this internal logic and the magnetic flux
from the Hall element is evaluated against the predefined
thresholds. If the flux density is above or below the Bop/Brp
thresholds then the output transistor is driven to change
states accordingly. While in the “Sleep” cycle the output
transistor is latched in its previous state. The design has
been optimized for service in applications requiring
extended operating lifetime in battery powered systems.
The output transistor of the 90248 will be latched on (BOP)
in the presence of a sufficiently strong South or North
magnetic field facing the marked side of the package. The
output will be latched off (BRP) in the absence of a magnetic
field.
