HIGH SENSITIVITY CMOS HALL-EFFECT LATCH
General Description
The AH921 is a Hall-effect latch designed in mixed
signal CMOS technology. It is quite suitable for use
in automotive, industrial and consumer applications.
Superior high-temperature performance is made
possible through dynamic offset cancellation, which
reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused
by device over-molding, temperature dependencies,
and thermal stress. The device integrates a voltage
regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal
amplifier, chopper stabilization, schmitt trigger, and
is directly drivable by the output.
An on-board regulator permits operation with supply
voltage from 3.5V to 24V.
The AH921 is available in TO-92S-3 and SOT-23-3
packages, which are optimized for most applications.

Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to
the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied. Exposure to “Absolute
