Data Sheet
COMPLEMENTARY OUTPUT HALL EFFECT LATCH
General Description
The AH276 is an integrated Hall sensor with output
driver designed for electronic commutation of brush-
less DC motor applications. The device includes an on-
chip Hall sensor for magnetic sensing, an amplifier
that amplifies the Hall voltage, a Schmitt trigger to
provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, a tem-
perature compensation circuit to compensate the tem-
perature drift of Hall sensitivity and two
complementary open-collector drivers for sinking
large load current. It also includes an internal band-gap
regulator which is used to provide bias voltage for
internal circuits.
Placing the device in a variable magnetic field, if the
magnetic flux density is larger than threshold B
OP
, the
pin DO will be turned low (on) and pin DOB will be
turned high (off). This output state is held until the
magnetic flux density reverses and falls below B
RP,
then causes DO to be turned high (off) and DOB
turned low (on).
AH276 is available in TO-94 (SIP-4L) package.

Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated
under "Recommended Operating Conditions" is not implied. "Absolute Maximum Ratings" for extended period may affect
device reliability.
