RATIOMETRIC, LINEAR
HALL-EFFECT SENSOR ICS
The UGN3503LT, UGN3503U, and UGN3503UA Hall-effect
sensor ICs accurately track extremely small changes in magnetic flux
densitychanges generally too small to operate Hall-effect switches.
For motion detectors, gear tooth sensors, and proximity detectors,
they are magnetically driven mirrors of mechanical events. As sensitive
X

monitors of electromagnets, they can effectively measure a system's

performance with negligible system loading while providing isolation
from contaminated and electrically noisy environments.
V Each Hall-effect integrated circuit includes a Hall element,
CC
linear amplifier, and emitter-follower output stage. Problems associated
with handling tiny analog signals are minimized by having the Hall cell
and amplifier on a single chip.

Three package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for
most applications. Package suffix LT is a miniature SOT-89/TO-
243AA transistor package for surface-mount applications; suffix U is a
miniature three-lead plastic SIP, while UA is a three-lead ultra-mini-

OPERATION
NOTCH SENSING
The output null voltage (B = 0 G) is nominally one-half the supply voltage. A
south magnetic pole, presented to the branded face of the package will
drive the output higher than the null voltage level. A north magnetic pole will
drive the output below the null level.
In operation, instantaneous and proportional output-voltage levels are
dependent on magnetic flux density at the most sensitive area of the device.
Greatest sensitivity is obtained with a supply voltage of 6 V, but at the cost of
increased supply current and a slight loss of output symmetry. The device's output
is usually capacitively coupled to an amplifier that boosts the output above the
millivolt level.
In two applications shown, a permanent bias magnet is attached with epoxy
glue to the back of the epoxy package. The presence of ferrous material at the face
of the package acts as a flux concentrator.
Dwg. A-12,574 The south pole of a magnet is attached to the back of the package if the Hall-
effect IC is to sense the presence of ferrous material. The north pole of a magnet is
GEAR TOOTH SENSING attached to the back surface if the integrated circuit is to sense the absence of
ferrous matrial.
Calibrated linear Hall devices, which can be used to determine the actual flux
density presented to the device in a particular application, are available.
