LINEAR HALL-EFFECT IC AH49E
General Description
The AH49E is a small, versatile linear Hall-effect
device that is operated by the magnetic field from a
permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The output
voltage is set by the supply voltage and varies in proportion to the strength of the magnetic field.
The integrated circuitry features low noise output,
which makes it unnecessary to use external filtering. It
also includes precision resistors to provide increased
temperature stability and accuracy. The operating tem-
perature range of these linear Hall sensors is -40
o
85
C, appropriate for commercial, consumer and
industrial applications.
The AH49E is available in standard TO-92S package.

When there is no ouside magnetic field (B=0GS), the
quiescent output voltage is one-half the supply voltage
V
in general. If a south magnetic pole approches to the
front face (the side with marking ID) of the Halleffect
sensor, the circuit will drive the output voltage higher.

Contrary, a north magnetic pole will drive the output
voltage lower. The variations of voltage level up or
down are symmetrical.

Greatest magnetic sensitivity is obtained with a supply
voltage of 6V, but at the cost of increased supply
current and a slight loss of output symmetry. So, it is
