3240
Suffix ‘–LT’ & ‘–UA’ Pinning
(SOT89/TO-243AA & ultra-min SIP)
CHOPPER-STABILIZED, PRECISION
HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
The A3240-- Hall-effect switch is an extremely temperature-stable
and stress-resistant sensor especially suited for operation over extended
temperature ranges to +150°C. Superior high-temperature performance
is made possible through dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the
residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding, tempera-
ture dependencies, and thermal stress.
The device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator, Hall-
voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, Schmitt
trigger, and a short-circuit protected open-collector output to sink up to
25 mA. A south pole of sufficient strength will turn the output on. An
on-board regulator permits operation with supply voltages of 4.2 to 24
volts.

Three package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for
most applications. Package type LH is a modified SOT23W surface-
mount package, LT is a miniature SOT89/TO-243AA transistor package
for surface-mount applications; while UA is a three-lead ultra-mini-SIP
for through-hole mounting. The LH and UA packages are also available
in a lead (Pb) free version (suffix,
–T)
, with a 100% matte tin plated
leadframe.

variants are being phased out of the product line. Certain variants cited in this footnote are in production but have been
determined to be NOT FOR NEW DESIGN. This classification indicates that sale of this device is currently restricted to existing customer
applications. The device should not be purchased for new design applications because obsolescence in the near future is probable.
Samples are no longer available. Status change: May 1, 2006. These variants include: A3240ELHLT, A3240ELT, A3240ELTTR, A3240EUA,
A3240LLHLT, A3240LLT, A3240LLTTR, and A3240LUA.
