Description
The A3213 and A3214 integrated circuits are ultra-sensitive,
pole independent Hall-effect switches with a latched digital
output. They are especially suited for operation in battery-
operated, hand-held equipment such as cell and cordless
telephones and palmtop computers. A 2.4 to 5.5 V operation
and a unique clocking scheme reduce the average operating
power requirements: the A3213 to 825
μW,
the A3214 to 14
μW
(typical, at 2.75 V). Except for operating duty cycle and average
operating current, the A3213 and A3214 are identical.
Unlike other Hall-effect switches, either a north or south pole
of sufficient strength will turn the output on; in the absence of
a magnetic field, the output is off. The polarity independence
and minimal power requirement allows these devices to easily
replace reed switches for superior reliability and ease of
manufacturing, while eliminating the requirement for signal
conditioning.
Improved stability is made possible through chopper
stabilization (dynamic offset cancellation), which reduces the
residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding,
temperature dependencies, and thermal stress.
These devices include, on a single silicon chip, a Hall-voltage

generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, a latch,
and a MOSFET output. Advanced BiCMOS processing is used
to take advantage of low-voltage and low-power requirements,
component matching, very low input-offset errors, and small
component geometries.
Devices are rated for operation over a temperature range of
–40°C to 85°C or –40°C to 150°C. Two package styles provide a
magnetically optimized package for most applications. ‘LH’ is a
miniature low-profile surface-mount package, ‘UA’ is a three-lead
SIP for through-hole mounting. Each package is lead (Pb) free
(suffix, –T) , with a 100% matte tin plated leadframe.
