HAL506
4.6. HAL 506
The HAL 506 is the most sensitive unipolar switching
sensor of this family (see Fig. 4–21).
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on the
branded side of the package and turns high if the mag-
netic field is removed. The sensor does not respond to
the magnetic north pole on the branded side.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor re-
quires only the magnetic south pole on the branded side
of the package.
In the HAL 5xx family, the HAL 516 is a sensor with the
same magnetic characteristics but with an inverted out-
put characteristic.
Magnetic Features:
– switching type: unipolar
– high sensitivity
– typical BON: 5.5 mT at room temperature
– typical BOFF: 3.5 mT at room temperature
– operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic mag-
netic fields up to 10 kHz
– typical temperature coefficient of magnetic switching
points is –1000 ppm/K
Applications
The HAL 506 is the optimal sensor for all applications
with one magnetic polarity and weak magnetic ampli-
tude at the sensor position such as:
– applications with large airgap or weak magnets,
– solid state switches,
– contactless solution to replace micro switches,
– position and end point detection, and
– rotating speed measurement.

The hysteresis is the difference between the switching points BHYS = BON – BOFF
The magnetic offset is the mean value of the switching points BOFFSET = (BON + BOFF) / 2
