HALL-EFFECT LATCHES

FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION

These Hall-effect latches are extremely temperature-stable and stress-

resistant sensors 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 symmetry by compensating for temperature changes in the Hall ele-

ment. Additionally, internal compensation provides magnetic switch points

that become more sensitive with temperature, hence offsetting the usual

degradation of the magnetic field with temperature. The symmetry capability

makes these devices ideal for use in pulse-counting applications where duty

cycle is an important parameter. The four basic devices (3185, 3187, 3188,

and 3189) are identical except for magnetic switch points.

Each device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator, qua-

dratic Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuit, signal

amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and a buffered open-collector output to sink up to

25 mA. The on-board regulator permits operation with supply voltages of 3.8

to 24 volts.

The first character of the part number suffix determines the device

operating temperature range. Suffix ‘E–’ is for -40°C to +85°C, and suffix

‘L–’ is for -40°C to +150°C. Three package styles provide a magnetically

optimized package for most applications. Suffix ‘–LT’ is a miniature SOT-

89/TO-243AA transistor package for surface-mount applications; suffix ‘–U’

is a three-lead plastic mini-SIP, while suffix ‘–UA’ is a three-lead ultra-mini-

SIP.

The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices is a ring

magnet, as shown below. Other methods of operation are possible.

Dwg. A-11,899

OPERATION

In operation, the output transistor is OFF until the strength of the mag-

netic field perpendicular to the surface of the chip exceeds the threshold or

operate point (BOP). When the field strength exceeds BOP, the output transis-

tor switches ON and is capable of sinking 25 mA of current.

The output transistor switches OFF when magnetic field reversal results

in a magnetic flux density below the OFF threshold (BRP). This is illustrated

in the transfer characteristics graph (A3187* shown).

Note that the device latches; that is, a south pole of sufficient strength

will turn the device ON. Removal of the south pole will leave the device ON.

The presence of a north pole of sufficient strength is required to turn the

device OFF. Powering up in the absence of a magnetic field (less than BOP

and higher than BRP) will allow an indeterminate output state. The correct

state is warranted after the first excursion beyond BOP or BRP.
