HIGH SENSITIVITY MICROPOWER
OMNIPLOAR HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
Description
The AH1897 is a high sensitivity micropower Omnipolar Hall effect
switch IC with an internal pull up and pull down capability. Designed
for portable and battery powered equipment such as cellular phones
and portable PCs, the average supply current is only 4.3µA at 1.85V.
To support portable equipment the AH1897 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
AH1897 is available in a small low profile X1-DFN1216-4 package.
The output is activated with either a North or South pole of sufficient
magnetic field strength. When the magnetic flux density (B)
perpendicular to the package is larger than operate point (Bop), the
output will be turned on (pulled low). The output is turned off when
B becomes lower than the release point (Brp). The output will remain
off when there is no magnetic field.
