Additional Details

The A1220LLTTK-T operates over a wide temperature range and is available in a small, surface-mount package. This Hall-effect latch includes a voltage regulator, Hall voltage generator, small signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and open-collector output to provide a latched digital output for magnetic sensing. The device latches, meaning that the output state will change when the magnetic field exceeds the operate point (Bop) and then remains in that state until the magnetic field is reduced below the release point (Brp). The built-in reverse battery protection prevents damage to the device if the supply voltage is accidentally reversed.
