NOTICE
These magnetoresistive sensor ICs may have an initial output in either
the ON or OFF state if powered up with an applied magnetic field in
the differential zone (applied magnetic field >Brp and <Bop). Honeywell
recommends allowing 10 μs for output voltage to stabilize after supply
voltage has reached its final rated value.

NOTICE
The magnetic field strength (Gauss) required to cause the switch to
change state (operate and release) will be as specified in the
magnetic characteristics. To test the switch against the specified
magnetic characteristics, the switch must be placed in a uniform
magnetic field.

NOTICE
Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits that the device will withstand without damage to the
device. However, the electrical and mechanical characteristics are not guaranteed as the maximum limits
(above recommended operating conditions) are approached, nor will the device necessarily operate at
absolute maximum ratings.

Figure 2. Alignment of the Magnet to the Omnipolar Magnetoresistive Sensor IC
Ideal alignment: The magnet is aligned in the same plane as the sensor IC.
Figure 2.A
The magnetic flux lines stay horizontal as the magnet approaches the
sensor IC (see Figure 2.A).

Offset alignment: The magnet is not aligned in the same plane as the sensor IC.
Parallel magnet approach to the sensor IC may cause dead zones.
Dead zones may occur when the majority of the magnet’s magnetic
flux lines become vertical as it approaches the sensor IC, turning
the sensor IC to ON, then OFF, then ON (see Figure 2.B).

Perpendicular magnet approach to the sensor IC eliminates possible dead zones.
The sensor IC detects the approaching magnet’s horizontal magnetic flux lines, turning the sensor IC to ON. The sensor IC stays ON as the
magnet continues to approach. When the magnet is located directly over the sensor IC, all magnetic flux lines are now horizontal (see Figure
2.C). Note: This alignment decreases the magnetic flux strength at the sensor IC.
