Description
The AH920 is a Hall-effect latch designed in mixed signal CMOS
technology. It is quite suitable for use in automotive, industrial and
consumer applications.
Superior high-temperature performance is made possible through
dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage
normally caused by device over-molding, temperature dependencies,
and thermal stress. The device integrates a voltage regulator, Hallvoltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, schmitt
trigger, and open-drain output.
An on-board regulator permits operation with supply voltage from
3.5V to 20V.
The AH920 is available in TO-92S-3 and SOT-23-3 packages, which
are optimized for most applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 1)
Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Ope rating Conditions” is not implied.
Exposure to “Absolute Maximum Ratings” for extended periods may affect device reliability.
