General Description
The SS3212Omnipolar Hall effect sensor IC is fabricated from
mixed signal CMOS technology .It incorporates advanced
chopper-stabilization techniques to provide accurate and stable
magnetic switch points.
The circuit design provides an internally controlled clocking
mechanism to cycle power to the Hall element and analog
signal processing circuits. This serves to place the high
current-consuming portions of the circuit into a “Sleep” mode.
Periodically the device is “Awakened” by this internal logic
and the magnetic flux from the Hall element is evaluated
against the predefined thresholds. If the flux density is above
or below the Bop/Brp thresholds then the output transistor is
driven to change states accordingly. While in the “Sleep” cycle
the output transistor is latched in its previous state. The design
has been optimized for service in applications requiring
extended operating lifetime in battery powered systems.
The output transistor of the SS3212 will be latched on (Bop) in
the presence of a sufficiently strong South or North magnetic
field facing the marked side of the package. The output will be
latched off (Brp) in the absence of a magnetic field.

Solid state switch

Typical Application Circuit
SEC's pole-independent sensing technique allows for operation
with either a north pole or south pole magnet orientation,
enhancing the manufacturability of the device. The
state-of-the-art technology provides the same output polarity
for either pole face.
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor) between the
supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise
and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization technique.
This is especially true due to the relatively high impedance of
battery supplies.

Unique Features
CMOS Hall IC Technology
The chopper stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor techniques to eliminate the amplifier offset voltage, which, in bipolar
devices, is a major source of temperature sensitive drift. CMOS makes this advanced technique possible. The CMOS chip is also
much smaller than a bipolar chip, allowing very sophisticated circuitry to be placed in less space. The small chip size also
contributes to lower physical stress and less power consumption.
Installation Comments
Consider temperature coefficients of Hall IC and magnetics , as well as air gap and life time variations. Observe temperature limits
during wave soldering. Typical IR solder-reflow profile:

No Rapid Heating and Cooling.

Recommended Preheating for max. 2minutes at 150C

Recommended Reflowing for max. 5seconds at 240C
ESD Precautions
Electronic semiconductor products are sensitive to Electro Static Discharge (ESD). Always observe Electro Static Discharge
control procedures whenever handling semiconductor products.
