The AH8501 is a high accuracy, low power linear Hall effect sensor with output voltage of 8-bit resolution. The output voltage is ratiometric to the supply voltage and proportional to the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the part marking surface. The output null point is at half the supply voltage. 

 

AH8501 is a trimmed device with sensitivity of 2.25mV/G  and 3.8mV/G at 1.8V and 3V with accuracy of 3% .  The device has typical input referred rms noise of 0.36G and 0.24G at 1.8V and 3.0V.

 

Designed for battery powered consumer equipment to office equipment, home appliances and industrial applications, the AH8501 can operate over the supply range of 1.6V to 3.6V and uses an externally controlled ENABLE pin clocking system to control operating modes and sampling rate and to minimize the power consumption. The typical average operating supply current is between 8.9uA during sleep mode and 1.16mA at maximum sampling rate at 1.8V.  With a conversion pulse every 50ms at the ENABLE pin, the power consumption is 22uW typical at 1.8V supply. 

 

 

To minimize PCB space the AH8501 is available in small low profile U-DFN2020-6.
