MULTIPLEXED TWO-WIRE HALL-EFFECT SENSOR ICs

The UGN3055U Hall-effect sensor is a digital magnetic sensing IC capable of communicating over a two-wire power/signal bus. Using a sequential addressing scheme, the device responds to a signal on the bus and returns the diagnostic status of the IC, as well as the status of each monitored external magnetic field. As many as 30 sensors can function on the same two-wire bus. This IC is ideal for multiple sensor applications where minimizing the wiring harness size is desirable or essential.
