9 Detailed General Description
Based on mixed signal CMOS technology, Melexis US5681 is a Hall-effect device with high magnetic
sensitivity. Its sensitivity enables high accuracy in position sensing by the use of small air gap.
The Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) technique suppresses 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 than bipolar technology. The small chip size is also an
important factor to minimize the effect of physical stress.
This combination results in more accurate and stable magnetic characteristics, and enables faster and more
precise design.
The wide operating voltage from 3.5V to 24V and low current consumption make this device especially
suitable for solid state switch 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 US5681 exhibits unipolar magnetic switching characteristics. Therefore, it operates only with one
magnetic pole.
Output level
OUT = High
OUT switches to High
OUT switches to Low
The US5681 device is south pole active:
Applying a south magnetic pole greater than B
OP
facing the
branded side of the package switches the output low.
Removing the magnetic field (B0) switches the output high.
The use of the opposite magnetic pole facing the branded side
does not affect the output state.
