Operational Characteristics
AK8776 detects the “vertical” (perpendicular to the marking side of the package) magnetic field, and the resulting
internal signal A changes state. When the magnetic field is more positive than BopV, the internal signal A changes to
‘Low’ state. And it is kept while the magnetic field remains more positive than BrpV. When the magnetic field drops
below BrpV, the internal signal A changes to ‘High’ state. Those threshold magnetic flux density levels are defined
in Table 6.

AK8776 detects “horizontal “(parallel to the marking side of the package) magnetic field, and the resulting internal
signal B changes state. When the magnetic field is more positive than BopH, the internal signal B changes to ‘Low’
state. And it is kept while the magnetic field remains more positive than BrpH. When the magnetic field drops below
BrpH, the internal signal B changes to ‘High’ state. Those threshold magnetic flux density levels are defined in
Table 6.
