A1120, A1121, A1122, A1123, and A1125

Chopper Stabilized Precision Hall Effect Switches

Features and Benefits Description


▪ Unipolar switchpoints The A1120, A1121, A1122, A1123, and A1125 Hall-effect,
▪ Resistant to physical stress unipolar switches are extremely temperature-stable and
▪ Superior temperature stability stress-resistant sensor ICs, especially suited for operation
▪ Output short-circuit protection over extended temperature ranges to 150°C. Superior high-
▪ Operation from unregulated supply temperature performance is made possible through dynamic
▪ Reverse battery protection offset cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage
▪ Solid-state reliability normally caused by device overmolding, temperature
▪ Small package sizes dependencies, and thermal stress.
Each device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator,
Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper
stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit protected
open-drain output to sink up to 25 mA.
Packages:
An on-board regulator permits operation with supply voltages
of 3 to 24 V. The advantage of operating down to 3 V is that
the device can be used in 3 V applications or with additional
external resistance in series with the supply pin for greater
protection against high voltage transient events.
3-pin SOT23W For the A1120, A1121, A1122, and A1123 a south pole of
(suffix LH) sufficient strength turns the output on. Removal of the magnetic
field turns the output off. The A1125 is complementary, in that
(A1120) (A1121, A1122,
A1123, and A1125) for these devices, a south pole turns the A1125 output off, and
removal of the magnetic field turns the output on.
3-pin SIP (suffix UA)
Not to scale Two package styles provide a magnetically optimized package
for most applications. Package type LH is a modified SOT23W,
surface mount package, while UA is a three-lead ultra-mini SIP
for through-hole mounting. Each package type is lead (Pb) free
(suffix, –T), with a 100% matte tin plated leadframe.

For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 1.6 mA, and RJA = 165 °C/W, then:

PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 1.6 mA = 19 mW

 T = PD × RJA = 19 mW × 165 °C/W = 3°C

TJ = TA + T = 25°C + 3°C = 28°C
