RATIOMETRIC, LINEAR HALL-EFFECT SENSORS FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION

The A3517xUA and A3518xUA are sensitive, temperature-stable linear Hall-effect sensors with greatly improved offset characteristics. Ratiometric, linear Hall-effect sensors provide a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field and have a quiescent output voltage that is approximately 50 of the supply voltage. These magnetic sensors are ideal for use in linear and rotary position sensing systems in the harsh environments of automotive and industrial applications over extended temperatures to -40°C and +150°C. The A3517xUA features an output sensitivity of 5 mV/G while the A3518xUA has an output sensitivity of 2.5 mV/G. See the Magnetic Characteristics table for complete, individual device parametrics.
