It is designed to be used with a bias magnet south facing the back Amplifier (non-marked) side of the IC. The device has an open collector output which is short circuit protected. The MLX90217 is a sophisticated IC featuring an Logic on-chip 10-bit A/D Converter and logic that acts as a digital sample and hold circuit. A separate 4- bit A/D converter provides a fixed hysteresis. The Voltage Protected 90217 does not have a chopper delay. The 90217 Regulator Output uses a single Hall plate which is immune to rotary alignment problems. The bias magnet can be from 50 to 400mT. 1 2 3 As the signal is sampled, the logic recognizes an increasing or decreasing flux density. The output Pin 1 - V (Supply) DD will turn on (BOP) after the flux has reached its Pin 2 - V (Ground) SS peak and decreased by an amount equal to the Pin 3 - Output hysteresis. Similarly the output will turn off (BRP) after the flux has reached its minimum value and Note: Static sensitive device, please observe ESD precautions. increased by an amount equal to the hysteresis. 3901090217 Mar/12 Page 2 Rev. 010
