Operation
The output of these devices switches low (turns on) when a
magnetic fi eld (south polarity) perpendicular to the Hall ele-
ment exceeds the operate point threshold, B
output voltage is V
sinking current up to the short circuit current limit, I
is a minimum of 30 mA. When the magnetic fi eld is reduced
below the release point, B
off). The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is
the hysteresis, B
clean switching of the output even in the presence of external
mechanical vibration and electrical noise.
Powering-on the device in the hysteresis region, less than B
and higher than B
correct state is attained after the fi rst excursion beyond B
B
Figure 1: Switching Behavior of Unipolar Switches. In Panel A, on the horizontal axis, the B+ direction indicates increasing south polarity
magnetic fi eld strength, and the B– direction indicates decreasing south polarity fi eld strength (including the case of increasing north
polarity). This behavior can be exhibited when using a circuit such as that shown in panel B.

Applications
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected (in close proximity to the Hall element) between the
supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise
and noise generated by the chopper stabilization technique. As is
shown in Panel B of fi gure 1, a 0.1μF capacitor is typical.
