General Description:
The SS4913 Omnipolar Hall effect sensor IC is fab-
ricated from mixed signal CMOS technology .It in-
corporates advanced chopper-stabilization techniques
to provide accurate and stable magnetic switch points.
The circuit design provides an internally controlled
clocking mechanism to cycle power to the Hall ele-
ment and analog signal processing circuits. This
serves to place the high current-consuming portions
of the circuit into a “Sleep” mode. Periodically the
device is “Awakened” by this internal logic and the
magnetic flux from the Hall element is evaluated
against the predefined thresholds. If the flux density
is above or below the Bop/Brp thresholds then the
output transistor is driven to change states according-
ly. While in the “Sleep” cycle the output transistor is
latched in its previous state. The design has been op-
timized for service in applications requiring extended
operating lifetime in battery powered systems.
The output transistor of the SS4913 will be latched on
(Bop) in the presence of a sufficiently strong South or
North magnetic field facing the marked side of the
package. The output will be latched off (Brp) in the
absence of a magnetic field.
Applications
− Solid state switch
− Handheld Wireless Handset Awake Switch
− Lid close sensor for battery powered devices
− Magnet proximity sensor for reed switch replacement in low duty cycle applications
