A1225, A1227, and A1229
Hall-Effect Latch for High Temperature Operation
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
▪ Symmetrical switchpoints
▪ Superior temperature stability
▪ Operation from unregulated supply
▪ Open-drain 25 mA output
▪ Reverse battery protection
▪ Activate with small, commercially available
permanent magnets
▪ Solid-state reliability
▪ Small size
▪ Resistant to physical stress
These Hall-effect latches are extremely temperature-stable
and stress resistant sensor ICs especially suited for operation
over extended temperature ranges to 150°C. Superior high-
temperature performance is made possible through a novel
Schmitt trigger circuit that maintains operate and release point
symmetrybycompensatingfortemperaturechangesintheHall
element.Additionally,internalcompensationprovidesmagnetic
switchpoints that become more sensitive with temperature,
henceoffsettingtheusualdegradationofthemagneticfieldwith
temperature.Thesymmetrycapabilitymakesthesedevicesideal
for use in pulse-counting applications where duty cycle is an
important parameter. The three basic devices (A1225, A1227,
and A1229) are identical except for magnetic switchpoints.
▪ Enhanced ESD structures result in 8 kV HBM ESD
performance without external protection components
▪ Internal protection circuits enable 40 V load dump
compliance without external protection components
Eachdeviceincludesonasinglesiliconchipavoltageregulator,
Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuit,
signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and a buffered open-drain
output to sink up to 25 mA. The on-board regulator permits
operation with supply voltages of 3.8 to 24 V.
PACKAGES:
Not to scale
The first character of the part number suffix determines the
device operating temperature range. Suffix L is for –40°C to
150°C. Two package styles provide magnetically optimized
packages for most applications. Suffix LH is a 3-pin SOT23W
surface-mount package; suffix UAis a 3-pin ultramini SIP for
through-hole mounting. The packages are lead (Pb) free with
100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
