Notes:
1. No purposely added lead. Fully EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) & 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3) compliant.
2. See https://www.diodes.com/quality/lead-free/ for more information about Diodes Incorporated’s definitions of Halogen- and Antimony-free, "Green" and
Lead-free.
3. Halogen- and Antimony-free "Green” products are defined as those which contain <900ppm bromine, <900ppm chlorine (<1500ppm total Br + Cl) and
When there is no external magnetic field (B=0Gauss), the quiescent output voltage is one-half the supply voltage in general.
For TO92S (Type A) and U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) packages, if a South magnetic pole approaches the part marking surface (the side with part
marking ID) of the Hall effect sensor, the circuit will drive the output voltage higher. In contrary, a North magnetic pole will drive the output voltage
lower. The variations of voltage level up or down from the quiescent output voltage (the null voltage) are symmetrical and proportional to the
magnetic flux density. In the SC59, the die is placed underneath the lead frame and therefore when a magnet pole approaches the SC59 part
marking surface, the direction of the magnetic field in to the die is reversed compared to TO92S (Type A). This results in a reverse response to
the magnetic flux density in SC59 package compared with TO92S (Type A) and U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) packages. (i.e. if the reverse magnetic
pole approaches the part marking surface of SC59, the output is the same as TO92S (Type A) package.) The largest magnetic sensitivity is
obtained with a supply voltage of 8V, but at the cost of increased supply current and a slight loss of output symmetry. So, it is not recommended to
work in such condition unless the output voltage magnitude is a main issue. The output signal can be capacitively coupled to a next-level amplifier
for further amplifying if the changing frequency of the magnetic field is high.
