Type UGN5275K latching Hall-effect sensors are bipolar integrated
circuits designed for electronic commutation of brushless dc motors.
They feature open-collector complementary power outputs that are
capable of sinking up to 300 mA continuously. Increased current
ratings, complementary outputs, and sensitive switching points that are
stable over temperature and time ideally suit these devices for minimum-component brushless dc motor designs.
Each sensor IC includes a Hall-voltage generator, an operational
amplifier, a Schmitt trigger, a voltage regulator, and large-area dual
npn-output transistors. The regulator allows the IC to operate with
supply voltages ranging from 4.5 V to 14 V. On-chip compensation
circuitry stabilizes switch point performance over temperature. The
large bipolar junction output transistors are fed by a unique driver
stage, which minimizes power dissipation within the IC. The magnetic
operation of this device is similar to that of the UGN3275K complementary-output Hall-effect latch.
Output Q of the IC switches to the LOW state when the internal
Hall generator experiences a magnetic field that exceeds the rated
operate point. Output Q switches HIGH within one µs of the Output Q
change of state. When the device is exposed to a sufficient magnetic
field of opposite polarity, Output Q returns to the HIGH state, and
Output Q returns to the LOW state.
The UGN5275K is rated for operation over a temperature range of
-20°C to +85°C, and is supplied in an environmentally rugged, four-pin
miniature plastic SIP. Consult the factory for alternate packaging and
custom magnetic requirements.

The increased current sinking capability of the UGN5275K ideally
suits it for building small, inexpensive brushless dc motors using a
minimum number of external components. Figure 2 shows that the
only components required to commutate motor windings L1 and L2 are
the Hall effect IC, flyback diodes D1 and D2, and one decoupling
capacitor. The remaining components are optional for improving motor
performance. Care should be taken to ensure that the motor winding
impedances are high enough to guarantee that start-up surge currents
do not exceed the maximum rating of the Hall effect IC.
In the circuit shown, diodes D1 and D2 supply a flyback path for
the current of each winding to prevent reactive voltages from exceeding the sustained voltage rating of the Hall-effect IC output transistors.
Zener diode Z1 enables the windings to switch more rapidly by allowing the output voltage to rise above the source voltage, while simultaneously clamping the extreme reactive voltages.
The maximum output voltage level will be restricted to the following: VCC - VD3 + VZ + VD1 (blocking diode D3 voltage drop). Blocking
diode D3 provides reverse input-polarity protection, and should be
used only if reverse battery voltage is a possibility. Capacitor C1
decouples the Hall-effect IC from any high dv/dt transients injected
onto the VCC rail to prevent regulator latch-up within the device. Zener
diode Z2 and resistor R1 are required for operation from a VCC exceeding 14 V.

1. All Hall Effect integrated circuits are susceptible to mechanical
stress effects. Caution should be exercised to minimize the
application of stress to the leads or the epoxy package. Use of
epoxy glue is recommended. Other types may deform the epoxy
package.
2. To prevent permanent damage to the Hall cell, heat-sink the leads
during hand-soldering. Recommended maximum conditions for
wave soldering are shown in the graph above.
NOTES: 1. Tolerances on package height and width represent allowable mold offsets. Dimensions given are measured at the widest point (parting line).
2. Exact body and lead configuration at vendor’s option within limits shown.
3. Height does not include mold gate flash.
4. Recommended minimum PWB hole diameter to clear transition area is 0.035” (0.89 mm).
5. Where no tolerance is specified, dimension is nominal.
