General

Descriptions

The SS3142 is a unipolar Hall-effect sensor IC fabri-

cated from bipolar technology. The device integrates a

voltage regulator, reverse battery protection diode,

Hall sensor with dynamic offset cancellation system,

temperature compensation circuitry, small signal am-

plifier, Schmitt trigger and an open-collector output

to sink up to 25 mA. With suitable output pull up,

they can be used with bipolar or CMOS logic circuits.

These Hall-effect switches are monolithic integrated

circuits with tighter magnetic specifications, designed

to operate continuously over extended temperatures to

+150°C,and are more stable with both temperature and

supply voltage changes. The unipolar switching

characteristic makes these devices ideal for use with a

simple bar or rod magnet.

Thanks to its wide operating voltage range and ex-

tended choice of temperature range, it is quite suitable

for use in automotive, industrial and consumer appli-

cations.

The device is delivered in a Small Outline Transistor

(SOT) or in a Plastic Single In Line (SIP 3L flat). Both

3-lead packages are RoHS compliant.
