HIGH SENSITIVITY CMOS HALL-EFFECT LATCH AH921

Jul. 2011 Rev. 1. 2 BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited

General Description

The AH921 is a Hall-effect latch designed in mixed

signal CMOS technology. It is quite suitable for use

in automotive, industrial and consumer applications.

Superior high-temperature performance is made

possible through dynamic offset cancellation, which

reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused

by device over-molding, temperature dependencies,

and thermal stress. The device integrates a voltage

regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal

amplifier, chopper stabilization, schmitt trigger, and

is directly drivable by the output.

An on-board regulator permits operation with supply

voltage from 3.5V to 24V.

The AH921 is available in TO-92S-3 and SOT-23-3

packages, which are optimized for most applications.
