Data Sheet
COMPLEMENTARY OUTPUT HALL EFFECT LATCH AH277A
General Description
The AH277A is an integrated Hall sensor with output
driver designed for electronic commutation of brushless DC motor applications. The device includes an onchip Hall sensor for magnetic sensing, an amplifier
that amplifies the Hall voltage, a Schmitt trigger to
provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, a temperature compensation circuit to compensate the temperature drift of Hall sensitivity and two
complementary open-collector drivers for sinking
large load current. It also includes an internal band-gap
regulator which is used to provide bias voltage for
internal circuits.
Placing the device in a variable magnetic field, if the
magnetic flux density is larger than threshold B
pin DO will be turned low (on) and pin DOB will be
turned high (off). This output state is held until the
magnetic flux density reverses and falls below B
then causes DO to be turned high (off) and DOB
turned low (on).
AH277A is available in TO-94 (SIP-4L) package.
