The A1172 is an ultra-sensitive, pole-independent Hall-effect
switch with a latched digital output. It features operation at
low supply currents and voltages, making it ideal for batteryoperated electronics. The 1.65 to 3.5 V operating supply
voltage and unique clocking algorithm reduce the average
operating power requirements to less than 15 μW with a
2.75 V supply.
The A1172 has two push-pull output structures. Omnipolar
activation for the output function is available on each output
structure. As such, either a north or south pole of sufficient
strength turns the available outputs off or on. The A1172
contains two complementary outputs. Therefore, for a fixed
magnetic field, one output will be in a high voltage state and
one output will be in a low voltage state.
Improved stability is made possible through dynamic offset
cancellation using chopper stabilization, which reduces the
residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding,
temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. This device

includes, on a single silicon chip, a Hall-voltage generator, a smallsignal amplifier, chopper stabilization, a latch, and a MOSFET
output.
The A1172 device offers magnetically optimized solutions, suitable
for most applications. The wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP)
is approximately only 1 mm by 1 mm by 0.5 mm. This package is
smaller than most plastic packages and reduces the printed circuit
board area consumed by micropower Hall-effect switches.

Micropower Ultra-Sensitive Hall-Effect Switch
Functional Description
Low Average Power
Internal timing circuitry activates the IC for 50 μs and deactivates it for the remainder of the period (50 ms). A short awake
time allows stabilization prior to the sampling and data-latching
on the falling edge of the timing pulse. The output during the
sleep state is latched in the last sampled state. The supply current
is not affected by the output state.
VOUTPN operates with the opposite output polarity. That is, the
output is low (on) in the absence of a magnetic field. The output
goes high (turns off) when sufficient field, of either north or
south polarity, is presented to the device.
tPeriod
Awake
I DD(EN)
BOPS (or is less than BOPN). After turn-on, the output voltage
is VOUT(SAT). The output transistor is capable of sinking current up to the short circuit current limit, IOM, which is a minimum of 1 mA. When the magnetic field is reduced below the
release point, BRPS (or increased above BRPN), the device output
switches high (turns off). The pull-up transistor brings the output
voltage to VOUT(HIGH).
Sleep
The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the
hysteresis, BHYS , of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows
clean switching of the output even in the presence of external
mechanical vibration and electrical noise.
Sample and Output Latched
The push-pull outputs are capable of sourcing or sinking a maximum of 1 mA.
Operation
The VOUTPS output switches low (turns on) when a magnetic
field perpendicular to the Hall element exceeds the operate point,
Powering-on the device in a hysteresis region, between BOPX
and BRPX, allows an indeterminate output state. The correct state
is attained after the first excursion beyond BOPX or BRPX.

Applications
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected (in close proximity to the Hall element) between the
supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise
and noise generated by the chopper stabilization technique. As is
shown in figure 2, a 0.1μF capacitor is typical.
