HAL 574
4.2. HAL574
The HAL574 is a medium sensitive unipolar switching
sensor (see Fig. 4–5).
The sensor turns to high current consumption with the
magnetic south pole on the branded side of the pack-
age and turns to low current consumption if the mag-
netic field is removed. It does not respond to the mag-
netic north pole on the branded side.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor
requires only the magnetic south pole on the branded
side of the package.
In this two-wire sensor family, the HAL584 is a sensor
with the same magnetic characteristics but with an
inverted output characteristic.
Magnetic Features:
– switching type: unipolar
– medium sensitivity
– typical BON: 9.2 mT at room temperature
– typical BOFF: 7.2 mT at room temperature
– typical temperature coefficient of magnetic switching
points is 0 ppm/K
– operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic
magnetic fields up to 10 kHz
Applications
The HAL574 is designed for applications with one
magnetic polarity and weak magnetic amplitudes at
the sensor position such as:
– applications with large airgap or weak magnets,
– solid state switches,
– contactless solutions to replace micro switches,
– position and end point detection, and
– rotating speed measurement.

The hysteresis is the difference between the switching points BHYS = BON − BOFF
The magnetic offset is the mean value of the switching points BOFFSET = (BON + BOFF) / 2
