Data Sheet 27621.3A 3161 X This Hall-effect switch is a monolithic integrated circuit designed to operate continuously over extended temperatures to +85 C. The unipolar switching characteristic makes this device ideal for use with a simple bar or rod magnet. The A3161ELT and A3161EUA are identical except for package. V CC Each device includes a voltage regulator for operation with supply voltages of 3.5 to 25 volts, reverse battery protection diode, quadratic Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuitry, small-signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and a constant-current open-collector output. Noise radiation is limited by control of the output current slew rate. 1 2 3 Two package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for most applications. Suffix LT is a miniature SOT-89/TO-243AA transistor package for surface-mount applications; suffix UA is a threelead ultra-mini SIP for through-hole mounting. SUPPLY GROUND OUTPUT Dwg.

SENSOR LOCATIONS ACTIVE AREA DEPTH.3".76 mm NOM Suffix LT A.85" 2.16 mm.45" 1.14 mm OPERATION The output of these devices (pin 3) switches OFF when the magnetic field at the Hall sensor exceeds the operate point threshold (B OP ). When the magnetic field is reduced to below the release point threshold (B RP ), the device output switches ON. The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is called the hysteresis (B hys ) of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. 15 12 BOP ACTIVE AREA DEPTH.18".46 mm NOM Suffix UA.78" 1.98 mm Dwg.

MH-11-8 25 5 75 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION These devices are normally operated in a 2-wire mode, where the supply terminal and the output terminal are tied together. An external comparator detects the change in total supply current by the addition (output ON, B > B OP ) or subtraction (output OFF, B < B RP ) of I OUT.
