Data Sheet
BIPOLAR HALL-EFFECT POSITION SENSORS
AH41
General Description
The AH41 is an integrated Hall-effect latched sensor
designed for electronic commutation of brushless DC
motor applications. The device includes an on-chip
Hall voltage generator for magnetic sensing, a
comparator that amplifiers the Hall voltage, and a
Schmitt to provide switching hysteresis for noise
rejection and open-collector output. An internal
bandgap regulator is used to provide temperature
compensated supply voltage for internal circuits and
allows a wide operating supply range.
A north pole of sufficient strength will turn the output
ON. In the absence of a magnetic field, the output is
OFF.
This IC is available in TO-92S-3 package.

Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to
the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied. Exposure to “Absolute
