Si721x Field Output Hall Effect Magnetic
Position Sensors Data Sheet
The Si7211/2/3/4/5/6 family of Hall-effect sensors from Silicon Labs combines a chop-
per-stabilized Hall element with a low-noise analog amplifier, 13-bit analog to digital con-
verter. After A/D conversion the magnetic field data is available in analog. PWM or
SENT format (depending on the part number). Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven CMOS
design techniques, the Si721x family incorporates digital signal processing to provide
precise compensation for temperature and offset drift.
Compared with existing Hall-effect sensors, the Si721x family offers industry-leading
sensitivity and low noise, which enables use with larger air gaps and smaller magnets.
For automotive applications, the Si720x family is AEC-Q100 qualified.
In the simplest case, the Si721x devices are offered in a 3 pin package with power,
ground, and a single output pin that is signal corresponding to the magnetic field in ana-
log, PWM, or SENT format.
The Si721x devices are also offered in a 5 pin SOT23 and 8 pin DFN(coming soon)
packages where the additional pins can be used for sleep mode (DIS) or to activate an
on-chip coil for built in self-test (BISTb).

Note:
1. BIST and DIS pin specifications apply when the pin is present.
2. For high voltage parts (V

from 2 to 3 V.
