MLX90248ESE-EBA-000-RE
Overview
The MLX90248 is a high-sensitivity, omnipolar Hall effect switch designed for low-power battery-operated systems. It features a chopper-stabilized amplifier and an open-drain output, operating reliably on supply voltages as low as 1.5V with a typical average supply current of only 10uA.
Why Choose This Part
This sensor offers omnipolar sensitivity, meaning it activates with either a North or South magnetic pole, simplifying assembly by removing magnet orientation requirements. Its exceptionally low 10uA average current draw and 1.5V to 3.6V operating range make it ideal for direct connection to single-cell Li-ion or 1.8V digital rails.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing with the open-drain output, ensure an appropriate pull-up resistor (typically 10k to 100k Ohms) is connected to the VDD rail. For prototyping, the TSOT-23-3 package can be used with standard SOT-23 breakout boards; ensure a 100nF decoupling capacitor is placed close to the VDD and GND pins to filter high-frequency noise from the internal clock.
