BIPOLAR HALL-EFFECT POSITION SENSORS AH41
Data Sheet
General Description
The AH41 is an integrated Hall-effect latched sensor
designed for electronic commutation of brushless DC
motor applications. The device includes an on-chip
Hall voltage generator for magnetic sensing, a
comparator that amplifiers the Hall voltage, and a
Schmitt to provide switching hysteresis for noise
rejection and open-collector output. An internal
bandgap regulator is used to provide temperature
compensated supply voltage for internal circuits and
allows a wide operating supply range.
A north pole of sufficient strength will turn the output
ON. In the absence of a magnetic field, the output is
OFF.
This IC is available in TO-92S-3 package.
