A1201
the field is reduced beyond the B
back to the low state.
The typical output behavior of the A1201 device is latching.
That is, switching to the low state when the magnetic field at the
Hall element exceeds the operate point threshold, B

are specified in the Magnetic Characteristics table, on page 3.
Note that, as shown in figure 1, these switchpoints can lie in
either north or south polarity ranges.
The A1201 is designed to attain a small hysteresis, and thereby
provide more sensitive switching. Although this means that
true latching behavior cannot be guaranteed in all cases, proper
switching can be ensured by use of both south and north mag-
netic fields, as in a ring magnet. The hysteresis of the A1201
allows clean switching of the output, even in the presence of
external mechanical vibration and electrical noise.

Continuous-Time Bipolar Switch
Bipolar devices adopt an indeterminate output state when pow-
ered-on in the absence of a magnetic field or in a field that lies
within the hysteresis band of the device.

Note 27705, Understanding Bipolar Hall Effect Sensor ICs.
CONTINUOUS-TIME BENEFITS
Continuous-time devices, such as the A1201, offer the fastest
available power-on settling time and frequency response. Due to
offsets generated during the IC packaging process, continuous-
time devices typically require programming after packaging to
tighten magnetic parameter distributions. In contrast, chopper-
stabilized switches employ an offset cancellation technique
on the chip that eliminates these offsets without the need for
after-packaging programming. The tradeoff is a longer settling
time and reduced frequency response as a result of the chopper-
stabilization offset cancellation algorithm.
