output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. They
feature a quiescent voltage output of 50% of the supply voltage.
The A1324/25/26 feature factory programmed sensitivities of
Packages 5.0 mV/G, 3.125 mV/G, and 2.5 mV/G, respectively.
3-pin ultramini SIP 3-pin SOT23-W The features of these linear devices make them ideal for
1.5 mm × 4 mm × 3 mm 2 mm × 3 mm × 1 mm use in automotive and industrial applications requiring high
(suffix UA) (suffix LH) accuracy, and operate through an extended temperature range,
–40°C to 150°C.
Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element,
temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic
sensitivity drift of the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain
amplifier, a clamped low-impedance output stage, and a
proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique.
These devices are available in a 3-pin ultra-mini SIP package
Approximate footprint (UA), and a 3-pin surface mount SOT-23 style package (LH). Both
are lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
