US4881
Bipolar Hall Switch
Low Voltage & Very High Sensitivity
9 Detailed General Description
Based on mixed signal CMOS technology, Melexis US4881 is a Hall-effect device with very high magnetic
sensitivity. It allows using generic magnets, weak magnets or larger air gap.
The chopper-stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor technique to suppress the offset generally observed
with Hall sensors and amplifiers. The CMOS technology makes this advanced technique possible and
contributes to smaller chip size and lower current consumption when compared to the bipolar technology.
The small chip size is also an important factor to minimize the effect of physical stress.
This combination results in more stable magnetic characteristics and enables faster and more precise design.
The operating voltage from 2.2V to 18V, “L”, “K” and “E” operating temperature ranges and low current
consumption make this device especially suitable for automotive, industrial and consumer low voltage
applications.
The output signal is open-drain type. Such output allows simple connectivity with TTL or CMOS logic by using
a pull-up resistor tied between a pull-up voltage and the device output.
10 Unique Features
The US4881 exhibits bipolar magnetic switching characteristics. Therefore, it operates with both south and
north poles.
Typically, the device behaves as a latch with symmetric
operating and release switching points (B
OP
=|B
RP
|). This means
magnetic fields with equivalent strength and opposite direction
drive the output high and low.
Removing the magnetic field (B→0) keeps the output in its
previous state. This latching property defines the device as a
magnetic memory.
Latch characteristic
Depending on the magnetic switching points, the device may also behave as a unipolar positive switch (B
OP
and B
RP
strictly positive) or unipolar negative switch with inversed output (B
OP
and B
RP
strictly negative). That
is the output can be set high and low by using only one magnetic pole. In such case, removing the magnetic
field changes the output level.
Unipolar positive switch characteristic
Unipolar negative switch characteristic
In latch, positive or negative switch behaviour, a magnetic hysteresis B
HYST
keeps B
OP
and B
RP
separated by
a minimal value. This hysteresis prevents the output from oscillating near the switching point.
