FEATURES
• Quad Hall IC design minimizes mechanical stress effects
• Temperature-compensated magnetics help provide stable
operation over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 150°C
[-40°F to 302°F]
• Broad, inclusive supply voltage capability from 3.8 Vdc to
30 Vdc for application flexibility
• Digital, open collector sinking output for easy interfacing
with a variety of common electronic circuits
• High sensitivity versions available for potential applications
requiring high accuracy or wide gaps
• Bipolar, latching or unipolar magnetics
DESCRIPTION
The SS400 Series and SS500 Series are small and versatile
digital Hall-effect devices that are operated by the magnetic
field from a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and
are designed to respond to alternating North and South
poles, or to a South pole only. They are available in bipolar,
latching or unipolar magnetics. On-board regulation provides
stable operation over a 3.8 Vdc to 30 Vdc supply voltage
range. These sensors are capable of continuous 20 mA
sinking output and may be cycled as high as 50 mA max.
The 3.8 V capability allows for use in many potential low
voltage applications. The digital, open collector sinking-type
output is easily interfaced with a wide variety of electronic
circuits. To provide reliable products and consistent quality,
the SS400 Series products are tested at both 25°C [75°F]
and 125°C [257°F]. All catalog listings are qualified for
operation up to 150°C [302°F]. For design flexibility, these
product are available in the following package styles:
• SS400 Series: Flat TO-92-style:
- SS4XX: Straight standard leads, bulk pack
- SS4XX-L: Straight long leads, bulk pack
- SS4XX-T2: Formed leads, ammopack tape-in-box
