Prog Hall effect sensor suits auto apps

The A1386 Hall effect sensor is designed to be used in automotive applications requiring absolute position sensing. The part can recognize when VCC drops below a certain voltage threshold at which time the device operates at a nominal 3 V and both the quiescent voltage output and sensitivity scale ratiometrically.

The part also provides a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field over the entire 2.7 to 5.5-V supply. The quiescent voltage output can be set to approximately 50% of the supply voltage, and the sensitivity adjusted between 1.90 and 3.50 mV/G for VCC of 5 V. The sensitivity temperature coefficient is programmed at the factory, at 0.13%/°C nominal, to compensate for Neodymium-style magnets.
