• Manufacturer Part Number: mlx90251
• Description: Programmable Linear Hall Effect Sensor
• Manufacturer: Melexis Company

Pin 2, TEST, is not used in applications. For EMC protection it is recommended to connect pin 2 to pin 3,
Ground, as close as possible to the device pins. The values for capacitors, C1 and C2, can be adjusted to
satisfy ESD and EMC requirements according to the environment. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for
use in the application. However for stable operation, the global output capacitor (C2 + C3) should not be
higher than 150nF.If higher capacitors (due to special ESD or EMC requirements) or special circuit
configurations are requested, please contact Melexis.
The MLX90251 can operate with a high impedance load and C2, a load resistor is not required.
Figures 12.1-1…12.1-2 Application Circuits
A voltage of 9V is required on V
able to withstand the voltage.
The MLX90251 is designed for operation with a stable 5V supply. If fast voltage transients occur additional
filtering may be required.
Similar Application Circuit can be used when using the GO-package by taking into account the dedicated pin-
out.
