SENSITIVE HALL-EFFECT SWITCHES
FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION
These Hall-effect switches are monolithic integrated circuits with
tighter magnetic specifications, designed to operate continuously over
extended temperatures to +150°C, and are more stable with both
temperature and supply voltage changes. The unipolar switching
characteristic makes these devices ideal for use with a simple bar or rod
magnet. The four basic devices (3141, 3142, 3143, and 3144) are
identical except for magnetic switch points.
Each device includes a voltage regulator for operation with supply
voltages of 4.5 to 24 volts, reverse battery protection diode, quadratic
Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuitry, smallsignal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open-collector output to sink
up to 25 mA. With suitable output pull up, they can be used with
bipolar or CMOS logic circuits. The A3141– and A3142– are improved replacements for the UGN/UGS3140–; the A3144– is the
improved replacement for the UGN/UGS3120–.
