Description

The AH8503 is a high accuracy, micropower linear Hall-effect sensor with an 8-bit output 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 voltage is at half the supply voltage.

AH8503 is a trimmed device with typical sensitivity of 2.25mV/G and 3.8mV/G at 1.8V and 3V respectively with an accuracy of 3% at +25°C. The device has a 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 AH8503 can operate over the supply range of 1.6V to 3.6V. The device has a CNTRL pin to select the operating modes and sampling rate to minimize power consumption. The device operates in default micropower mode with a sampling rate of 24Hz typical and consumes only 13µA typical at 1.8V. In turbo mode with a continuous 6.25kHz sample rate, the current consumption is 1mA typical. In external-drive mode, the CNTRL can be used to change the sampling frequency up to 7.14kHz with current consumption of 1.16mA typical at 1.8V.

To minimize PCB space the AH8503 is available in small low profile UDFN2020-6 (Type C) package.
