PROGRAMMABLE HIGH SENSITIVITY
MICROPOWER OMNIPOLAR HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
Description
The AH1894 is a high sensitivity micropower magnetic range
selectable Omnipolar Hall effect switch IC with internal pull up and
pull down capability. Designed for portable and battery powered
equipment such as cellular phones and portable PCs to home
appliances and industrial applications, the average power
consumption is only 8uW at 1.85V. To support portable equipment the
AH1894 can operate over the supply range of 1.6V to 3.6V and uses
a hibernating clocking system to minimize the power consumption. To
minimize PCB space the AH1894 is available in small low profile
X1-DFN1216-4 and SOT553 packages.
The output is activated with either a north or south pole of sufficient
magnetic field strength. The user can select one of two magnetic
sensitivity bands via the BSEL pin without the addition of any external
components allowing a flexible but small solution. The band select
can be hardwired or be changed on the fly via a logic source such as
a micro-controller. When the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than
operate point (Bop), the output will be turned on (pulled low) and held

until B is lower than release point (Brp).

Notes: 11. Typical data is at TA = +25C, VDD = 1.85V.
12. Maximum and minimum parameters values over the operating temperature range are not tested in production, they are guaranteed by design, process
control and characterization. The magnetic characteristics may vary with supply voltage, operating temperature and after soldering.
The AH1894 includes a band select pin (BSEL) so that the operate (Bops and Bopn) and release (Brps and Brpn) points can be adjusted between
two pre-defined ranges. The BSEL can be hard wired within the application circuit or the band can be selected on the fly by using the BSEL pin as
a logic input. This feature allows the AH1894 sensitivity to be changed by firmware within the a pplication without the addition of any external
components. If the BSEL pin is left open circuit the AH1894 defaults to low band.
