Si7210 I C Hall Effect Magnetic Position
and Temperature Sensor Data Sheet
The Si7210 family of Hall effect magnetic sensors from Silicon Labs combines a chop-
per-stabilized Hall element with a low-noise analog amplifier, 13-bit analog-to-digital
converter, and an I2C interface. Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven CMOS design techni-
FEATURES
• High-Sensitivity Hall Effect Sensor
ques, the Si7210 family incorporates digital signal processing to provide precise com-
pensation for temperature and offset drift.
• Adjustable Full Scale (Standard
Offerings are ±20mT and ±200 mT Full
Scale)
Compared with existing Hall effect sensors, the Si7210 family offers industry-leading
sensitivity, which enables use with larger air gaps and smaller magnets. The integrated
13-bit high-precision ADC delivers high output linearity with very low noise for the high-
est measurement accuracy. For battery-powered applications, the Si7210 family offers
very low power consumption to improve operating life.
• Integrated Digital Signal Processing for
Temperature and Offset Drift
Compensation
• High-Precision 13-bit Signal Path
• Output Bandwidth up to 20 kHz
• Sensitivity Drift < ±5% over 0-70 °C
The Si7210 family supports a bidirectional I2C interface which provides full configurabili-
ty of the Hall effect sensor operate and release points. At any time, the 13-bit magnetic
field strength can be read through the I2C interface.
