General Description
The SS109 is a unipolar Hall effect sensor IC fabricated
from mixed signal CMOS technology. The device
integrates a voltage regulator, Hall sensor with dynamic
offset cancellation system, Schmitt trigger and an
open-drain output driver, all in a single package.
It incorporates advanced chopper stabilization techniques to provide accurate and stable magnetic switch points. There
are many applications for this HED – Hall Electronic Device - in addition to those listed above.
Thanks to its wide operating voltage range and extended choice of temperature range, it is quite suitable for use in
automotive, industrial and consumer applications.
The device is delivered in a Small Outline Transistor (SOT) or in a Plastic Single In Line ( SIP 3L flat). Both 3-lead
packages are RoHS compliant.

Application Information
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor)
between the supply (VDD Pin) and ground (GND Pin) of the device to reduce both external noise and noise generated
by the chopper stabilization technique. As is shown in the two figures in next page, a 0.1μF capacitor is typical.
For reverse voltage protection, it is recommended to connect a resistor or a diode in series with the VDD pin. When
using a resistor, three points are important:
- the resistor has to limit the reverse current to 50mA maximum (V
CC
/ R1
≤
50mA)
- the resulting device supply voltage V
DD
has to be higher than V
DD
min (V
DD
= V
CC
– R1*I
DD
)
- the resistor has to withstand the power dissipated in reverse voltage condition (P
D
= V
CC 2
/R1)
When using a diode, a reverse current cannot flow and the voltage drop is almost constant (≈0.7V).
Therefore, a 100Ω/0.25W resistor for 5V application and a diode for higher supply voltage are recommended. Both
solutions provide the required reverse voltage protection.
When a weak power supply is used or when the device is intended to be used in noisy environment, it is recommended
that the figure 13.3 from the Application Information section is used.
The low-pass filter formed by R1 and C1 and the Zener diode Z1 bypass the disturbances or voltage spikes occurring
on the device supply voltage V
DD
. The diode D1 provides additional reverse voltage protection.
