for unmatched miniaturization, sensitivity, precision, and
low power.
Magnetic Responses
Versions are available that are either continuous duty or
internally duty cycled operation to further reduce power
consumption. An integrated latch ensures the output is

Description
ADLxxx-Series sensors are Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR)
Digital Switches designed to operate from 3.3-volt power
supplies or single lithium cells with extremely supply low
currents. Their 4.2 volt maximum operating voltage
accommodates lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.
Off
Field
The outputs are configured as magnetic switches. Normallyopen versions turn on (LOW output) when the magnetic field
is applied and off (OPEN output) when the field is removed.
Normally-closed versions turn off when a field is applied.
The applied field can be of either polarity, and the operate
point is extremely stable over supply voltage and
temperature. The output is current-sinking, and can sink up
to 100 microamps.

Operation
Direction of Magnetic Sensitivity
As the field varies in intensity, the digital output will turn on and off. Unlike Hall effect or other sensors, the direction of
sensitivity is in the plane of the package. The diagrams below show two permanent magnet orientations that will activate the
sensor in the direction of sensitivity:
Figure 1. Direction of magnetic sensitivity.
ADL-Series
Series sensors are “omnipolar,” meaning the outputs turn ON when a magnetic field of either magnetic polarity is applied.
applied
External Pull-Up Resistor
Outputs are logic low when the sensor is activated. The outputs are open
open-drain,
drain, and should have an external pull-up
pull
resistor. For
microcontroller interfaces, the microcontroller’s input pull
pull-up resistors can be activated (note that with a 3.3-volt
3.3
supply, the pullup resistor should be a minimum of 33 kΩ
Ω for compatibility with the sensor’s 100 µA output current).
Typical Operation
Figure 2 shows typical ADL-Series
Series sensor orientation. The arrow on the circuit board shows the direction of magnetic sensitivity:

Illustrative Application Circuits
Direct-Drive LED Indicator
Although ADLxxx-14E series sensors are not capable of directly driving legacy LEDs, high-efficiency LEDs such as the
APT3216LSECK are visible with the 100µA drive current provided by the sensors without an external driver.
This circuit illustrates a sensor powered by a single lithium button cell with a surface-mount indicator LED:

Two-Wire Sensor Interface Using a Voltage Regulator
ADL-Series sensors are perfect for two-wire applications, because their low supply voltage and low quiescent current provide
plenty of design margin. Two-wire interfaces need to operate over a wide power supply range. With the sensor off, the circuit must
draw a minimal residual current, typically less than 1.5 milliamps. With the sensor on, the circuit must provide enough current to
drive a significant load such as a motor or solenoid:

Figure 4. Typical two-wire circuit.
In this circuit, when a magnetic field is applied to the sensor, the MOSFETs turn on, turning on the LED and powering the load.
This circuit uses an NVE DC001-10E regulator, which provides better regulation and operating latitude over the input voltage
range than a Zener diode.
With no magnetic field and the sensor off, the residual current of the circuit is dominated by the DC001 regulator’s quiescent
current, which is less than one milliamp and relatively constant over input voltage. The Zener diode provides enough voltage to
power the circuitry when the load is powered.

External Duty Cycling
ADL-Series continuous-duty sensors can be eternally duty-cycled. Unlike other types of sensors, the switching hysteresis is
provided by the magnet sensor element, not a comparator, so the proper hysteresis state is retained when the part is duty-cycled:

Figure 5. External duty cycling using a microcontroller.
Note that there is a protection diode from the output to VDD, so that if VDD is grounded the sensor output will be low (approximately
0.6 volts), and the pullup resistor will draw current. Therefore the most efficient way to duty cycle the sensor is to have an output
driving VDD to activate the part, and tri-state (rather than grounding) to deactivate the part.

Evaluation Kits
NVE offers two ADL-Series Demonstration Boards, one with a battery and one without. These inexpensive evaluation kits include
demo boards with the ultraminiature, ultralow-power ADL021 magnetic switch included. An LED shows the sensor output. A
miniature bar magnet is included so you can see for yourself how these remarkable sensors work. These miniature evaluation
boards are just 40 x 6 mm (1.57 by 0.25 inches). Images are actual size:
AG040C: ADL021 Externally-Powered Evaluation Board
This board has a digital output, and can be powered from a 3.3-volt nominal supply. An LED
shows the output.
AG040B: ADL021 Battery-Powered Demonstration Board
This board is powered by a three-volt lithium coin cell (included), and the sensor quiescent power
consumption is so low that the battery will last indefinitely.
Bare Circuit Boards
NVE offers two bare circuit boards designed for easy connections to ULLGA DFN4 sensors. Note that since these boards use very
small sensors, they require reflow or hot-air soldering techniques. Images are actual size:
