Programmable hall sensor supports direct connection into automotive/industrial designs

Melexis Technologies NV (Tessenderlo, Belgium) has followed up the success of its initial MLX92242 Hall effect switch/latch IC, which offers end-of-line (EOL) programmability and support for 2-wire operation, with a further product introduction. The company now announces a new version of this device which enables easier implementation and saves valuable space. Strengthening its innovative ‘No PCB’ design concept, Melexis’ MLX92242has a built-in capacitor - so that the device can be implemented directly into the design without inclusion of supplementary board-level components which would increase the overall dimensions and necessitate additional soldering. Features include:

• A voltage regulator that covers 2.7V to 24V.
• A current sink-configured output driver and a series of IC protection mechanisms (over-voltage, reverse voltage, thermal shutdown, etc.).
• An EEPROM memory via which EOL programming can be executed.
• Magnetic switching range spanning from 1mT to 64mT and a magnetic latching range of -64mT to 64mT.
