High Sensitivity Low Power TMR Switch
Position Sensing > LF11115TMR
TMR Bipolar Switch 17 Gauss 200nA Push Pull Sensor
Description
The LF11115TMR TMR Switch is a digital bipolar magnetic switch that integrates
TMR and CMOS technology in order to provide a magnetically triggered digital
switch with high sensitivity, high speed, and low power consumption.
It contains a TMR magnetic sensor and CMOS signal processing circuitry within
the same package, including an on-chip TMR voltage generator for precise
magnetic sensing, a TMR voltage amplifier and comparator plus a Schmitt
trigger to provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, CMOS push-pull
output and X axis sensing direction.
An internal band gap regulator is used to provide a temperature compensated
supply voltage for internal circuits, permitting a wide range of supply voltages.
It draws only 200nA (see Features below) resulting in low power operation,
additionally it has fast response, accurate switching points, excellent thermal
stability, and immunity to stray field interference. It is available in the SOT23-3
package. The output of the LF11115TMR switches low (turns on) when the
magnetic field parallel to the sensing axis exceeds the operate point threshold,

OP
. When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point B

output switches high (turns off). The difference between the B

Note: It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be connected in-close-
proximity to the device between the supply and ground pins to reduce noise. The recommended
value for the external bypass capacitor is 0.1μF.
