Description

The MLX90215 is a Programmable Linear Hall Effect sensor IC fabricated utilizing silicon-CMOS technology. It possesses active error correction circuitry which virtually eliminates the offset errors normally associated with analog Hall Effect devices. All magnetic response functions of the MLX90215 are fully programmable for even greater versatility. The VOQ (VOUT@ B=0), sensitivity, direction of slope and the magnitude of sensitivity drift over temperature, are all programmable.
