US4881

Bipolar Hall Switch

Low Voltage and Very High Sensitivity

9 Detailed General Description

Based on mixed signal CMOS technology, Melexis US4881 is a Hall-effect device with very high magnetic

sensitivity. It allows using generic magnets, weak magnets or larger air gap.

The chopper-stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor technique to suppress 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 when compared to the bipolar technology.

The small chip size is also an important factor to minimize the effect of physical stress.

This combination results in more stable magnetic characteristics and enables faster and more precise design.

The operating voltage from 2.2V to 18V, “L”, “K” and “E” operating temperature ranges and low current

consumption make this device especially suitable for automotive, industrial and consumer low voltage

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 US4881 exhibits bipolar magnetic switching characteristics. Therefore, it operates with both south and

north poles.

Typically, the device behaves as a latch with symmetric

operating and release switching points (BOP=|BRP|). This means

magnetic fields with equivalent strength and opposite direction

drive the output high and low.

Removing the magnetic field (B→0) keeps the output in its

previous state. This latching property defines the device as a

magnetic memory.

Latch characteristic

Depending on the magnetic switching points, the device may also behave as a unipolar positive switch (BOP

and BRP strictly positive) or unipolar negative switch with inversed output (BOP and BRP strictly negative). That

is the output can be set high and low by using only one magnetic pole. In such case, removing the magnetic

field changes the output level.

Unipolar positive switch characteristic

Unipolar negative switch characteristic

In latch, positive or negative switch behaviour, a magnetic hysteresis BHYST keeps BOP and BRP separated by

a minimal value. This hysteresis prevents the output from oscillating near the switching point.
