AH1903
HIGH SENSITIVITY MICROPOWER
UNIPOLAR/OMNIPOLAR SELECTABLE HALL-EFFECT SWITCH
Description
Pin Assignments
The AH1903 is a high sensitivity micropower Omnipolar or Unipolar
selectable Hall effect switch IC with internal pull up and pull down
capability. Designed for battery powered consumer equipment such
as cellular phones and portable PCs to office equipment, home
appliances and industrial applications, the average supply current is
only 4.3µA at 1.8V. To support portable equipment the AH1903 can
operate over the supply range of 1.6V to 3.6V and uses a hibernating
NEW PRODUCT
clocking system to minimize the power consumption. To minimize
PCB space the AH1903 is available in a small low profile
X1-DFN1216-4 package.
The user can change the Hall switch function between Unipolar and
Omnipolar operation via the Select (SEL) pin. If the SEL pin is open
circuit or pulled high the AH1903 operates in Unipolar switch mode
detecting magnetic field direction with a South pole to the part mark
side of the package. If the SEL pin is pulled low the AH1903 functions
as a Omnipolar switch detecting either a North or South pole. The
output is activated with a pole of sufficient magnetic field strength.
When the magnetic flux density (B) perpendicular to the package is
larger than operate point (Bop), the output will be turned on (pulled
low) and held until B is lower than release point (Brp).

AH1903
Application Notes
The AH1903 includes a Hall switch function select pin (SEL) so that the AH1903 can be changed between an Unipolar or an Omnipolar Hall
Switch operation to fit a multitude of applications. The diagrams below show the different switching functions between the Unipolar and the
Omnipolar Hall switch types.
AH1903 in Unipolar Operation
In Unipolar mode, the sensor detects the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the part marking surface with magnetic field direction only from
the back to the front of the package as shown below. This magnetic field direction is similar to having a South pole on the part marking side or a
NEW PRODUCT
North pole to the back of the package.
Magnetic Field Direction for Unipolar Mode Operation
AH1903 in Omnipolar Operation
In Omnipolar mode, the sensor detects the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the part marking surface with magnetic field directions from the
front to the back as well as from the back to the front of the package as shown below. The sensor detects both North or South pole to the part
marking side or to the back of the package.
Magnetic Field Directions for Omnipolar Mode Operation
The AH1903 includes a function select pin (SEL) to change the device type between Unipolar and Omnipolar operations. The SEL pin can be
hard wired within the application circuit or can be changed on the fly by using the SEL pin as a logic input. This feature allows the AH1903
operating mode to be changed by firmware within the application without the addition of any external components. If the SEL pin is left open
circuit the AH1903 defaults to Unipolar mode.

Application Notes (cont.)
Applications Circuit 1 – Unipolar Operation
Connecting the SEL pin to VDD, a voltage greater than 1.4V or leaving the SEL pin unconnected configures the AH1903 into Unipolar mode, only
detecting South pole of sufficient strength from the part mark side of the package. In Unipoalr mode, North pole fields will not switch on the
NEW PRODUCT
output.
Applications Circuit 2 – Omnipolar Operation
Connecting the SEL pin to ground configures the AH1903 into Omnipolar mode, detecting both North and South magnetic fields of sufficient
strength.
Applications Circuit 3 – Adjustable Sensor Type
To enhance flexibility within the application the sensor operation modes can be selected with a standard logic signal allowing it to be controlled
by a micro-controller or a logic source. This allows the sensor type to be changed within the application without a hardware change. Whenever
the Hall switch type is changed, the selection changeover should allow two awake period for the output to be valid.
Sensor Type Change Timing and Valid Output
Whenever type selection SEL 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. Time taken for the output to be valid, after the SEL change, depends on timing of SEL change
during the sleep and awake phase; this time can range from 100ms typical and 200.1ms maximum.
