HAL 83x Robust Multi-Purpose Linear Hall-Effect Sensor

Product Information
HAL 83x
Jan/2013
Major Applications
Due to the sensor’s versatile programming
characteristics and low temperature drifts,
the HAL 83x is the optimal system solution
for applications such as:
Serial Port
◆ Distance and linear movement measurements
◆ Angle sensors like throttle position, pedal
position, and EGR applications
◆ Contactless potentiometers
HAL Programmer Board
Development Tools
Programming of the EEPROM and calculation
of the individual sensor characteristics
can easily be done with a PC and the application
kit from Micronas:

Devices
The HAL 83x is a monolithic integrated circuit
which provides an output voltage proportional
to the magnetic flux through the
Hall plate and proportional to the supply
voltage (ratiometric behavior).

OUT
This voltage is converted to a digital value,
processed in the Digital Signal Processing
Unit (DSP) according to the settings of the
EEPROM registers, converted back to an
analog voltage with ratiometric behavior,
and buffered by a push-pull output transistor
stage.
