General Description
The AH49E is a small, versatile linear Hall-effect
device that is operated by the magnetic field from a
permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The output
voltage is set by the supply voltage and varies in pro-
portion to the strength of the magnetic field.
The integrated circuitry features low noise output,
which makes it unnecessary to use external filtering. It
also includes precision resistors to provide increased
temperature stability and accuracy. The operating tem-
perature range of these linear Hall sensors is -40oC to
85oC, appropriate for commercial, consumer and
industrial applications.
The AH49E is available in standard TO-92S and SOT-
23-3 packages.

Transfer Characteristics (VCC=5V)
When there is no outside magnetic field (B=0GS), the
quiescent output voltage is one-half the supply voltage
in general.
For TO-92S package, if a south magnetic pole
approches to the front face (the side with marking ID)
of the Hall effect sensor, the circuit will drive the
output voltage higher. Contrary, a north magnetic pole
will drive the output voltage lower. The variations of
voltage level up or down are symmetrical. Due to
SOT-23-3 is reversed packaging with TO-92S, so the
magnetic performance is also reversed. Therefor, if
the reversed magnetic pole approches to the front face
(the side with marking ID), the output is the same as
TO-92S package.
.
Greatest magnetic sensitivity is obtained with a supply
voltage of 6V, but at the cost of increased supply
current and a slight loss of output symmetry. So, it is
not recommended to work in such condition unless the
output voltage magnitude is a main issue. The output
signal can be capacitively coupled to an amplifier for
boosting further if the changing frequency of the
magnetic field is high.
