Description
The SC244X family, produced with BiCMOS technology,
is a chopper-stabilized Hall Effect Sensor that offers a
magnetic sensing solution with superior sensitivity stability
over temperature and integrated protection features.
Superior high-temperature performance is made possible
through dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the
residual offset voltage normally caused by device over
molding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress.
Each device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage
Output state
regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier,
chopper stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and an open-drain
output to sink up to 20mA.
An onboard regulator permits with supply voltages of 2.5
to 24V which makes the device suitable for a wide range
of industrial and atuomotive applications
The device is available in a 3-pin SIP package (UA) and a
3-pin SOT-23 style package (SO). Both are lead (Pb) free,
with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Function Description Overview
The SC244X device is a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor with a digital latched output for magnetic sensing applications.
The device can be powered with a supply voltage between 2.5 and 24V, and continuously survives continuous -28V
reverse-battery conditions. The device does not operate when -28 to 2.2V is applied to the VDD terminal (with respect
to the GND terminal). In addtion, the device can withstand voltages up to 40V for transient durations.
The output of SC244X switches low (turns on) when a magnetic field (South polarity) perpendicular to the Hall element
exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP. After turn-on, the output is capable of sinking 20mA and the output voltage is
VQ(sat). When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point, BRP, the device output goes high (turns off). The
difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the hysteresis, BHYS, of the device. This built-in hysteresis
allows clean switching of the output even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise.
An external output pull-up resistor is required on the OUT terminal. The OUT terminal can be pulled up to VDD or to a
different voltage supply. This allows for easier interfacing with controller circuits.

Field Direction Definition
A positive magnetic field is defined as a South pole near the marked side of the package.
Transfer Function
Powering-on the device in the hysteresis region, less than BOP and higher than BRP, allows an indeterminate output
state. The correct state is attained after the first excursion beyond BOP or BRP. If the field strength is greater than BOP,
then the output is pulled low. If the field strength is less than BRP, the output is released.
BOP—magnetic threshold for activation of the device output, turning in ON (low) state
BRP—magnetic threshold for release of the device output, turning in OFF (high) state.
BHYS= BOP - BRP

Typical Application
The SC244X contains an on-chip voltage regulator and can operate over a wide supply voltage range. In applications
that operate the device from an unregulated power supply, transient protection must be added externally. For
applications using a regulated line, EMI/RFI protection may still be required. R1 is for improved CI performance, and
could be 100 or 200 Ω typically.
The SC244X device output stage uses an open-drain NMOS, and it is rated to sink up to 20mA of current. For proper
operation, calculate the value of the pull-up resistor RL is required. The size of RL is a tradeoff between OUT rise time
and the load capacity when OUT is pulled low. A lower current is generally better, however faster transitions and
bandwidth require a smaller resistor for faster switching.
Select a vaule for CL based on the system bandwidth specifications as:
2 × 𝑓 (𝐻𝑧) =
1
2π × 𝑅 × C
Most applications do not require this CL filtering capacitor.
VPULL is not restricted to VDD, and could be connected to other voltage reference. The allowable voltage range of this
terminal is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
