lar
designed in mixed signal CMO technology.
OS
The device integrates a vol
ltage regulator, Hall
sensor with dynamic offset c
cancellation system,
Schmitt trigger and an open-dr
rain output driver, all
in a single package.
The low operating voltage and extended choice of
temperature ranges make it suitable for use in
automotive, industrial and con

US4881
Bipolar Hall Switch
Low Voltage and Very High Sensitivity
9 Detailed General Descri
ription
Based on mixed signal CMOS techn
hnology, Melexis US4881 is a Hall-effect device with very high magnetic
h
sensitivity. It allows using generic magnet weak magnets or larger air gap.
agnets,
The chopper-stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor technique to suppress the offset generally observed
es
et
with Hall sensors and amplifiers. The CMOS technology makes this advanced tech
T
hnique possible and
contributes to smaller chip size and lower current consumption when compared to the bipolar technology.
The small chip size is also an important factor to minimize the effect of physical stress.
tant
This combination results in more stabl magnetic characteristics and enables faster and m
le
more precise design.
The operating voltage from 2.2V to 18V, “L”, “K” and “E” operating temperature ranges and low current
anges
consumption make this device espe
pecially suitable for automotive, industrial and con
onsumer low voltage
applications.
The output signal is open-drain type. S
Such output allows simple connectivity with TTL or CM
CMOS logic by using
a pull-up resistor tied between a pull-u voltage and the device output.

10 Unique Features
The US4881 exhibits bipolar magnet switching characteristics. Therefore, it operates with both south and
agnetic
north poles.
Typically, the device behaves as a latc with symmetric
ch
operating and release switching points (B
OP
=
RP
|). This means
=|B
magnetic fields with equivalent strength and opposite direction
nd
drive the output high and low.
Removing the magnetic field (B→0) keeps the output in its
eeps
previous state. This latching property defines the device as a
nes
magnetic memory.
Latch characteristic
Depending on the magnetic switching points, the device may also behave as a unipolar positive switch (B
OP
g
ar
and B
RP
strictly positive) or unipolar negative switch with inversed output (B
OP
and B
RP
s
n
strictly negative). That
is the output can be set high and low by using only one magnetic pole. In such case, rem
w
moving the magnetic
field changes the output level.
Unipolar positive switch character
eristic
Unipolar negative switch char
haracteristic
In latch, positive or negative switch behaviour, a magnetic hysteresis B
HYST
keeps B
OP
and B
RP
separated by
be
nd
a minimal value. This hysteresis prevents the output from oscillating near the switching po
ents
oint.
