SINGLE PHASE HALL EFFECT LATCH AH477A
General Description
The AH477A is an integrated Hall sensor with Hbridged output driver designed for brushless DC motor
applications. The device includes an on-chip Hall sensor for magnetic sensing, an amplifier that amplifies
the Hall voltage, a comparator to provide switching
hysteresis for noise rejection, a bi-directional drivers
for sinking and driving large current load. It also
includes an internal bandgap regulator to provide temperature compensated bias for internal circuits and
allows a wide operating supply voltage range.
Placing the device in a variable magnetic field, if the
magnetic flux density is larger than threshold B
DO is turned to sink and DOB is turned to drive. This
output state is held until the magnetic flux density
reverses and falls below B
turned to drive and DOB turned to sink.
The AH477A is available in TO-94 (SIP-4L) package.
