The devices are manufactured with NVE's patented spintronic GMR technology and low-power CMOS circuitry for unmatched miniaturization, sensitivity, precision, and low power. The output is configured as a magnetic "switch" where the output turns on when the magnetic field is applied, and turns off when the field is removed. Versions are available that are either continuous duty or internally duty cycled operation to further reduce power consumption. An integrated latch ensures the output is available continuously in duty-cycled versions. The applied field can be of either polarity, and the operate point is extremely stable over supply voltage and temperature. The output is current-sinking, and can sink up to 100 microamps.

Unlike Hall effect or other sensors, the direction of sensitivity is in the plane of the package. The diagrams below show two permanent magnet orientations that will activate the sensor in the direction of sensitivity: Figure 1. Direction of magnetic sensitivity. ADL-Series sensors are "omnipolar," meaning the outputs turn ON when a magnetic field of either magnetic polarity is applied. External Pull-Up Resistor Outputs are logic low when the sensor is activated. The outputs are open-drain, and should have an external pull-up resistor. For microcontroller interfaces, the microcontroller's input pull-up resistors can be activated. Typical Operation Figure 2 shows typical ADL-Series sensor orientation. The arrow on the circuit board shows the direction of magnetic sensitivity: ADL-Series Sensor Figure 2. Typical operation; the circuit board arrow shows direction of sensitivity. Typical magnetic operate and release distances for an inexpensive 4 mm diameter by 6 mm thick ceramic disk magnet, are illustrated in the following table: Part ADLx21-14E ADLx24-14E Operate Distance (typ.) 10 mm 9 mm Operate Point (typ.) 20 Oe 28 Oe Release Distance (typ.) 12 mm 11 mm Larger and stronger magnets allow farther operate and release distances.

Two-Wire Sensor Interface Using a Voltage Regulator ADL-Series sensors are perfect for two-wire applications, because their low supply voltage and low quiescent current provide plenty of design margin. Two-wire interfaces need to operate over a wide power supply range. With the sensor off, the circuit must draw a minimal residual current, typically less than 1.5 milliamps. With the sensor on, the circuit must provide enough current to drive a significant load such as a motor or solenoid: ADL924-14E VDD 3.3 V Out a DC 001-10 200K b NC7S 14M5X IRLML 6346 LOAD 80 mA max. 300 V+ 5-30 V IRLML 5103 MMSZ 4685 (3.6 V) V- Gnd a. GMR Bridge b. Comparator Figure 4. Typical two-wire circuit. In this circuit, when a magnetic field is applied to the sensor, the MOSFETs turn on, turning on the LED and powering the load. This circuit uses an NVE DC001-10 regulator, which provides better regulation and operating latitude over the input voltage range than a Zener diode. With no magnetic field and the sensor off, the residual current of the circuit is dominated by the DC001 regulator's quiescent current, which is less than one milliamp and relatively constant over input voltage. The Zener diode provides enough voltage to power the circuitry when the load is powered. 4 NVE Corporation 11409 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3617 Phone: (952) 829-9217 www.nve.com (c)NVE Corporation ADLxxx Nanopower Digital Switches Typical Performance Average current increases with supply voltage but remains extremely low.
