Operation. The output of the A3212 switches low (turns on)
when a magnetic field perpendicular to the Hall element exceeds
the operate point B
output is capable of sinking up to 1 mA and the output voltage
is V
release point B
switches high (turns off). The dif fer ence in the magnetic operate
and release points is the hysteresis (B
built-in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even
in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical
noise. The A3211 functions in the same manner, except the out-
put voltage is reversed from the A3212, as shown in the figures
to the right.
As used here, negative flux densities are defined as less than
zero (algebraic convention), i.e., -50 G is less than +10 G.
Applications. Allegro's pole-independent processing tech-
nique allows for operation with either a north pole or south
pole magnet orientation, enhancing the manufacturability of the
device. The state-of-the-art technology provides the same output
polarity for either pole face.
be con nect ed (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-sta bi li za tion tech nique.
This is especially true due to the relatively high im ped ance of
battery supplies.
