General Description
The SS539 is an integrated Hall effect latched sensor
designed for electronic commutation of brush-less DC
motor applications. The device integrates a voltage
regulator, reverse battery protection diode, Hall sen-
sor with dynamic offset cancellation system, temper-
ature compensation circuitry, small signal amplifier,
Schmitt trigger and an open-collector output to sink
up to 25 mA

These Hall-effect switches are monolithic integrated circuits with tighter magnetic specifications, designed to op-
erate continuously over extended temperatures to +150°C, and are more stable with both temperature and supply
voltage changes. If a magnetic flux density larger than threshold Bop, Output is turned on (low). The output state is
held until a magnetic flux density reversal falls below BRP, causing Output to be turned off (high).
Thanks to its wide operating voltage range and extended choice of temperature range, it is quite suitable for use in
DC motor applications.
The device is delivered in a Small Outline Transistor (SOT) or in a Plastic Single In Line ( SIP 3L flat). Both
3-lead packages are RoHS compliant.
