Description

The A1354 device is a high precision, programmable 2-wire Hall effect linear sensor IC with a pulse width modulated (PWM) output. The duty cycle (D) of the PWM output signal is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The A1354 device converts an analog signal from its internal Hall circuit to a digitally encoded PWM output signal. The coupled noise immunity of the digitally encoded PWM output is far superior to the noise immunity of an analog output signal.
