4. Type Descriptions

4.1. HAL573

The HAL 573 is a unipolar switching sensor with low

sensitivity (see Fig. 4–1).

The sensor turns to high current consumption with the

magnetic south pole on the branded side of the pack-

age and turns to low current consumption if the mag-

netic field is removed. It does not respond to the mag-

netic north pole on the branded side.

For correct functioning in the application, the sensor

requires only the magnetic south pole on the branded

side of the package.

Magnetic Features:

– switching type: unipolar

– low sensitivity

– typical temperature coefficient of magnetic switching

points is

−1100 ppm/K

– operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic

magnetic fields up to 10 kHz

Applications

The HAL573 is designed for applications with one

magnetic polarity and weak magnetic amplitudes at

the sensor position such as:

– solid state switches,

– contactless solutions to replace micro switches,

– position and end point detection, and

– rotating speed measurement.
