Hall Effect Sensor Family

Release Notes: Revision bars indicate significant

1. Introduction
The HAL 11x family consists of different Hall switches
produced in CMOS technology.
All sensors include a temperature-compensated Hall
plate, a comparator, and an open-drain output transistor.
The comparator compares the actual magnetic flux
through the Hall plate (Hall voltage) with the fixed refer-
ence values (switching points). Accordingly, the output
transistor is switched on or off. The sensors of this family
differ in the switching behavior.
The sensors are designed for industrial and automotive
applications and operate with supply voltages from
4.5 V to 24 V in the ambient temperature range from
–40
°C
up to 125
°C.
All sensors are available in an SMD-package (SOT-89B)
and in a leaded version (TO-92UA).

– operates from 4.5 V to 24 V supply voltage
– overvoltage protection
– reverse-voltage protection at V
DD
-pin
– short-circuit protected open-drain output by thermal
shut down
– operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic mag-
netic fields up to 20 kHz
– stable switching points over a wide supply voltage
range
– the decrease of magnetic flux density caused by rising
temperature in the sensor system is compensated by
a built-in negative temperature coefficient of the mag-
netic characteristics

Bipolar Switching Sensors:
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on the
branded side of the package and turns high with the
magnetic north pole on the branded side. The output
state is not defined for all sensors if the magnetic field is
removed again. Some sensors will change the output
state and some sensors will not.
Unipolar Switching Sensors:
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on the
branded side of the package and turns high if the mag-
netic field is removed. The sensor does not respond to
the magnetic north pole on the branded side.

please refer to the brochure: “Ordering Codes for Hall

1.6. Solderability
all packages: according to IEC68-2-58
During soldering reflow processing and manual
reworking, a component body temperature of 260
°C
should not be exceeded.
Components stored in the original packaging should
provide a shelf life of at least 12 months, starting from the
date code printed on the labels, even in environments as
extreme as 40
°C
and 90% relative humidity.

2. Functional Description
The HAL 11x sensors are monolithic integrated circuits
which switch in response to magnetic fields. If a
magnetic field with flux lines perpendicular to the
sensitive area is applied to the sensor, the biased Hall
plate forces a Hall voltage proportional to this field. The
Hall voltage is compared with the actual threshold level
in the comparator. The temperature-dependent bias
increases the supply voltage of the Hall plates and
adjusts the switching points to the decreasing induction
of magnets at higher temperatures. If the magnetic field
exceeds the threshold levels, the open drain output
switches to the appropriate state. The built-in hysteresis
eliminates oscillation and provides switching behavior of
output without bouncing.
Shunt protection devices clamp voltage peaks at the
Output-pin and V
DD
-pin together with external series
resistors. Reverse current is limited at the V
DD
-pin by an
internal series resistor up to –15 V. No external reverse
protection diode is needed at the V
DD
-pin for reverse
voltages ranging from 0 V to –15 V.
