GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AX8101/A is a three-terminal Hall Effect sensor device with a output driver, mainly
designed for battery–operation, hand-held equipment (such as Cellular and Cordless
Phone, PDA). After power-on, AX8101/A will detect and setup the operating pole (North or
South) to avoid another side magnetic noise (Patent pending). For AX8101, the output will
be turned off under no magnetic field. While the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than
operate point (Bop), the output will be turned on; the output is latched until B is lower than
release point (Brp).
FEATURES
- Micro Power Operation for Battery Applications
- 2.4V to 5.5V battery operation
- Chopper Stabilized Technology
- Operation with North or South Pole
- High sensitivity and high stability of the magnetic switching points
- 3-pin SOT-23/Thin SOT-23 Pb-Free packages
