2 Description
The US1881 is the industry’s first Hall integrated circuit in SOT-23 package. The US1881 is a bipolar Hall effect
sensor IC based on mixed signal CMOS technology. It incorporates advanced chopper stabilization techniques to
provide accurate and stable magnetic switch points. There are many applications for this HED in addition to those
listed above. The design, specifications and performance have been optimized for commutation applications in 5V
and 12V brushless DC motors.
In UA packaged device the output transistor will be latched on (Bop) in presence of a sufficiently strong South
pole magnetic field facing the marked side of the package. Similarly, the output will be latched off (Brp) in the
presence of a North field. The SOT-23 device behaviour is reverse to the UA device. The SOT-23 output transistor will
be latched on (B
OP
) in the presence of a sufficiently strong North pole magnetic field on the marked side
.

7 Unique Features
CMOS Hall IC Technology
The chopper stabilized amplifier uses switched capacitor techniques to eliminate the amplifier offset voltage,
which, in bipolar devices, is a major source of temperature sensitive drift. CMOS makes this advanced
technique possible. The CMOS chip is also much smaller than a bipolar chip, allowing very sophisticated
circuitry to be placed in less space. The small chip size also contributes to lower physical stress and less
power consumption.
