Two-Wire Hall Effect Sensor Family
in CMOS technology
1. Introduction
This sensor family consists of different two-wire Hall
switches produced in CMOS technology. All sensors
change the current consumption depending on the ex-
ternal magnetic field and require only two wires between
sensor and evaluation circuit. The sensors of this family
differ in the magnetic switching behavior and switching
points.
The sensors include a temperature-compensated Hall
plate with active offset compensation, a comparator, and
a current source. The comparator compares the actual
magnetic flux through the Hall plate (Hall voltage) with
the fixed reference values (switching points). According-
ly, the current source is switched on (high current con-
sumption) or off (low current consumption).
The active offset compensation leads to constant mag-
netic characteristics in the full supply voltage and tem-
perature range. In addition, the magnetic parameters
are robust against mechanical stress effects.
The sensors are designed for industrial and automotive
applications and operate with supply voltages from
3.75 V to 24 V in the junction temperature range from
40
C up to 140
C. All sensors are available in the
SMD package SOT-89B and in the leaded version
TO-92UA.

1.3.1. Special Marking of Prototype Parts
Prototype parts are coded with an underscore beneath the
temperature range letter on each IC. They may be used
for lab experiments and design-ins but are not intended to
be used for qualification tests or as production parts.

ing, a component body temperature of 260
C should not
be exceeded.
Components stored in the original packaging should
provide a shelf life of at least 12 months, starting from the
date code printed on the labels, even in environments as
extreme as 40
C and 90% relative humidity.

2. Functional Description
The HAL 57x, HAL 58x two-wire sensors are monolithic
integrated circuits which switch in response to magnetic
fields. If a magnetic field with flux lines perpendicular to
the sensitive area is applied to the sensor, the biased
Hall plate forces a Hall voltage proportional to this field.
The Hall voltage is compared with the actual threshold
level in the comparator. The temperature-dependent
bias increases the supply voltage of the Hall plates and
adjusts the switching points to the decreasing induction
of magnets at higher temperatures.
If the magnetic field exceeds the threshold levels, the
current source switches to the corresponding state. In
the low current consumption state, the current source is
switched off and the current consumption is caused only
by the current through the Hall sensor. In the high current
consumption state, the current source is switched on
and the current consumption is caused by the current
through the Hall sensor and the current source. The
built-in hysteresis eliminates oscillation and provides
switching behavior of the output signal without bounc-
ing.
Magnetic offset caused by mechanical stress is com-
pensated for by using the "switching offset compensa-
tion technique". An internal oscillator provides a two-
phase clock. In each phase, the current is forced through
the Hall plate in a different direction, and the Hall voltage
is measured. At the end of the two phases, the Hall volt-
ages are averaged and thereby the offset voltages are
eliminated. The average value is compared with the
fixed switching points. Subsequently, the current con-
sumption switches to the corresponding state. The
amount of time elapsed from crossing the magnetic
switching level to switching of the current level can vary
between zero and 1/f
osc
.
Shunt protection devices clamp voltage peaks at the
V
DD
-pin together with external series resistors. Reverse
current is limited at the V
DD
-pin by an internal series re-
sistor up to 15 V. No external protection diode is need-
ed for reverse voltages ranging from 0 V to 15 V.

4. Type Descriptions
4.1. HAL 574
The HAL 574 is a medium sensitive unipolar switching
sensor (see Fig. 41).
The sensor turns to high current consumption with the
magnetic south pole on the branded side of the package
and turns to low current consumption if the magnetic
field is removed. It does not respond to the magnetic
north pole on the branded side.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor re-
quires only the magnetic south pole on the branded side
of the package.
In this two-wire sensor family, the HAL 584 is a sensor
with the same magnetic characteristics but with an in-
verted output characteristic.
Magnetic Features:
switching type: unipolar
medium sensitivity
typical B
ON
: 9.2 mT at room temperature
typical B
OFF
: 7.2 mT at room temperature
typical temperature coefficient of magnetic switching
points is 0 ppm/K
operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic mag-
netic fields up to 10 kHz
Applications
The HAL 574 is designed for applications with one mag-
netic polarity and weak magnetic amplitudes at the sen-
sor position such as:
applications with large airgap or weak magnets,
solid state switches,
contactless solutions to replace micro switches,
position and end point detection, and
rotating speed measurement.

4.2. HAL 575
The HAL 575 is a medium sensitive latching switching
sensor (see Fig. 45).
The sensor turns to high current consumption with the
magnetic south pole on the branded side of the package
and turns to low consumption with the magnetic north
pole on the branded side. The current consumption does
not change if the magnetic field is removed. For chang-
ing the current consumption, the opposite magnetic field
polarity must be applied.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor re-
quires both magnetic polarities on the branded side of
the package.
Magnetic Features:
switching type: latching
medium sensitivity
typical B
ON
: 4 mT at room temperature
typical B
OFF
: 4 mT at room temperature
typical temperature coefficient of magnetic switching
points is 0 ppm/K
operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic mag-
netic fields up to 10 kHz
Applications
The HAL 575 is designed for applications with both mag-
netic polarities and weak magnetic amplitudes at the
sensor position such as:
applications with large airgap or weak magnets,
multipole magnet applications,
contactless solutions to replace micro switches,
rotating speed measurement.

5. Application Notes
5.1. Application Circuit
Figure 51 shows a simple application with a two-wire
sensor. The current consumption can be detected by
measuring the voltage over R
L
. For correct functioning
of the sensor, the voltage between pin 1 and 2 (V
DD
)
must be a minimum of 3.75 V. With the maximum current
consumption of 17 mA, the maximum R
L
can be calcu-
lated as:

For applications with disturbances on the supply line or
radiated disturbances, a series resistor R
V
(ranging from
10
to 30
)
and a capacitor both placed close to the
sensor are recommended (see figure 52). In this case,
the maximum R

5.2. Extended Operating Conditions
All sensors fulfill the electrical and magnetic characteris-
tics when operated within the Recommended Operating
Conditions (see page 7).
Typically, the sensors operate with supply voltages
above 3 V. However, below 3.75 V, the current consump-
tion and the magnetic characteristics may be outside the
specification.
Note: The functionality of the sensor below 3.75 V is not
tested on a regular base. For special test conditions,
please contact Micronas.
5.3. Start-up Behavior
Due to the active offset compensation, the sensors have
an initialization time (enable time t
en(O)
) after applying
the supply voltage. The parameter t
en(O)
is specified in
the Electrical Characteristics (see page 8). During the
initialization time, the current consumption is not defined
and can toggle between low and high.
HAL 57x:
After t
en(O)
, the current consumption will be high if the
applied magnetic field B is above B
ON
. The current con-
sumption will be low if B is below B
OFF
.
HAL 58x
In case of sensors with an inverted switching behavior,
the current consumption will be low if B > B
OFF
and high
if B < B
ON
.
Note: For magnetic fields between B
OFF
and B
ON
, the
current consumption of the HAL sensor will be either low
or high after applying V
DD
. In order to achieve a defined
current consumption, the applied magnetic field must be
above B
ON
, respectively, below B
OFF
.

Due to internal power dissipation, the temperature on
the silicon chip (junction temperature T
J
) is higher than
the temperature outside the package (ambient tempera-
ture T
A
).

For all sensors, the junction temperature range T

specified. The maximum ambient temperature T

Due to the range of I

, self-heating can be critical.
The junction temperature can be reduced with pulsed
supply voltage. For supply times (t

5.5. EMC and ESD
For applications with disturbances on the supply line or
radiated disturbances, a series resistor and a capacitor
are recommended (see Fig. 53). The series resistor
and the capacitor should be placed as closely as pos-
sible to the HAL sensor.
Applications with this arrangement passed the EMC
tests according to the product standards DIN 40839.
Note: The international standard ISO 7637 is similar to
the product standard DIN 40839.
Please contact Micronas for detailed information and
first EMC and ESD results.
