Si720x Switch/Latch Hall Effect Magnetic
Position Sensor Data Sheet
The Si7201/2/3/4/5/6 family of Hall effect magnetic sensors
switches and latches from Silicon Labs combines a chopper-stabi-
lized Hall element with a low-noise analog amplifier, 13-bit analog-
to-digital converter, and a flexible comparator circuit. Leveraging
Silicon Labs' proven CMOS design techniques, the Si720x family
incorporates digital signal processing to provide precise compen-
sation for temperature and offset drift.
Compared with existing Hall effect sensors, the Si720x family offers industry-leading
sensitivity, which enables use with larger air gaps and smaller magnets. For battery-
powered applications, the Si720x family offers very low power consumption to improve
operating life.
The Si720x devices are offered in 3-pin SOT23, 5-pin SOT23, and TO-92 packages,
with power, ground, a single output pin that goes high or low as the magnetic field in-
creases, and with the 5-pin parts a disable(sleep) pin, and a tamper output pin. With the
three-pin package, tamper indication is by the pin going back to its zero field level at
high magnetic field.
Applications:
• Replacement of reed switches in con-
sumer, and security applications
• Position sensing of HVAC knob, door
locks, windows, and other mechanical
devices
• BLDC motor control
• Camera image stabilization, zoom,
and autofocus
• Fluid level sensing

• General-purpose mechanical position
sensing

Average power depends on the
sample rate and percent of time
spent sampling versus sleep mode
or idle mode. See the ordering

SAMPLE
Parts can be configured for sleep
or idle between samples. Sleep is
lower power, but the fastest sam-
pling rate is 8 kHz. Idle allows sam-
pling rate to be configured to be as
high as 113 kHz. See the ordering
guide for details.

Note:
1. TAMPERb and DIS pin specifications apply when the pin is present (Si7203/4).
2. Idle time can be factory programmed from 13.2 μsec to 206 msec ±10% or set to zero in which case conversions are done every
8.8 μsec. Normally idle time is only used at higher sample speeds.
3. For high voltage parts (V
DD
= 26.5 V maximum), the power on ramp should be faster than 10 V per second in the start-up region
from 2 to 3 V.
