General

Description

The SS118 is a unipolar Hall-effect sensor IC fabricated

from bipolar technology. The device integrates a voltage

regulator, reverse battery protection diode, Hall sensor with

dynamic

offset

cancellation

system,

temperature

compensation circuitry, small signal amplifier, Schmitt

trigger and an open-collector output to sink up to 25 mA.

With suitable output pull up, they can be used with bipolar

or CMOS logic circuits.

These Hall-effect switches are monolithic integrated circuits

with tighter magnetic specifications, designed to operate

continuously over extended temperatures to +150°C,and are

more stable with both temperature and supply voltage

changes. The unipolar switching characteristic makes these

devices ideal for use with a simple bar or rod magnet.

Thanks to its wide operating voltage range and extended

choice of temperature range, it is quite suitable for use in

automotive, industrial and consumer applications.
