MX887P
µPower Hall-Effect Switch
General Description
The MX887P integrated Hall-Effect switch targets
the requirements of low-power portable devices with
battery operating voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V. On-
chip power management circuitry reduces the
effective average current to just 5µA at 3.0 V
SUPPLY
.
The switch output will transition to the Ground
potential when either a north or south magnetic pole
is applied. The removal of a magnetic field will
transition the switch to the Vsupply potential.
Emulating the behavior of a traditional reed switch,
together with the advantages of high integration and
solid state reliability, makes the MX887P is an ideal
replacement in low-power portable device
applications.

Circuit Description
The MX887P µPower Hall-Effect Switch consists of a Hall element, small signal amplifier, latch, and
CMOS push-pull driver. Offset cancellation rejects errors in signal stages and the influence of mechanical
stress on the Hall element. This technique together with a precision threshold generator and comparator
produce highly accurate magnetic switch points. The Hall element is activated for a small fraction of an
operating cycle, then latched in that sample state for the remainder of the period. By using this technique,
very low power consumption is achieved.
