AH1894
PROGRAMMABLE HIGH SENSITIVITY
MICROPOWER OMNIPOLAR HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
Description
Pin Assignments
The AH1894 is a high sensitivity micropower magnetic range
selectable Omnipolar Hall effect switch IC with internal pull up and
(Top View)
pull down capability. Designed for portable and battery powered
equipment such as cellular phones and portable PCs to home
appliances
and
industrial
applications,
the
average
power
consumption is only 8uW at 1.85V. To support portable equipment the
AH1894 can operate over the supply range of 1.6V to 3.6V and uses
X1-DFN1216-4
a hibernating clocking system to minimize the power consumption. To
NEW PRODUCT
minimize PCB space the AH1894 is available in small low profile
X1-DFN1216-4 and SOT553 packages.
(Top View)
The output is activated with either a north or south pole of sufficient
magnetic field strength. The user can select one of two magnetic
sensitivity bands via the BSEL pin without the addition of any external
components allowing a flexible but small solution. The band select
can be hardwired or be changed on the fly via a logic source such as
a micro-controller. When the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than
operate point (Bop), the output will be turned on (pulled low) and held
SOT553
until B is lower than release point (Brp).

6. Stresses greater than the 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' specified above may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only;
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions exceeding those indicated in this specification is not implied. Device reliability may be
affected by exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time.
7. The absolute maximum VDD of 6V is a transient stress rating and is not meant as a functional operating condition. It is not recommended to
operate the device at the absolute maximum rated conditions for any period of time.

8. BSEL pin internal pull-down resistor is only active during AWAKE time
9. When power is initially on, the operating VDD (1.6V to 3.6V) must be applied to guarantee the output sampling.
The output state is valid after the second operating phase (typical 100ms).
10. Transition time varies dependant on the timing of BSEL activation during the sleep and awake phases.

11. Typical data is at TA = +25C, VDD = 1.85V.
12. Maximum and minimum parameters values over the operating temperature range are not tested in production, they are guaranteed by design, process
control and characterization. The magnetic characteristics may vary with supply voltage, operating temperature and after soldering.
The AH1894 includes a band select pin (BSEL) so that the operate (Bops and Bopn) and release (Brps and Brpn) points can be adjusted between
two pre-defined ranges. The BSEL can be hard wired within the application circuit or the band can be selected on the fly by using the BSEL pin as
a logic input. This feature allows the AH1894 sensitivity to be changed by firmware within the application without the addition of any external
components. If the BSEL pin is left open circuit the AH1894 defaults to low band.

Application Notes
Applications Circuit 1 – Low Band
Leaving the BSEL pin unconnected or connecting the BSEL pin to ground permanently configures the AH1894 into its high sensitivity mode
NEW PRODUCT
(lower switching thresholds), requiring a reduced magnetic flux density to activate its output (Low Band).
Applications Circuit 2 – High Band
Connecting the BSEL pin to VDD or applying a voltage greater than 1.4V configures the AH1894 into its low sensitivity mode (higher switching
threshold), requiring a higher magnetic flux density to activate its output (High Band).
Applications Circuit 3 – Adjustable Sensitivity
To enhance the flexibility within the application the sensitivity can be adjusted with a standard logic signal allowing it to be controlled by a microcontroller or a logic source. This allows the sensitivity to be changed within the application without a hardware change. Whenever the sensitivity
band selection is changed, allow for band selection changeover to complete and output to be valid.

Application Notes (cont.)
Bands Select Change Timing and Valid Output
Whenever band selection BSEL pin input is changed, allow for band selection changeover to complete and stabilize. The output is valid only
after the second complete operating ‘awake’ phase after the band selection change is complete. Time taken for the output to be valid, after the
BSEL change, depends on timing of BSEL change during the sleep and awake phase; this time is up to 100ms typical and 200.1ms maximum
