Description
The US3881 is a bipolar Hall effect sensor IC fabri-
cated from mixed signal CMOS technology. It in-
corporates advanced chopper stabilization tech-
niques to provide accurate and stable magnetic
switch points. There are many applications for this
sensor in addition to those listed above. The de-
sign, specifications, and performance have been
optimized for commutation applications in 5V and
12V brushless DC motors.
The output transistor will be latched on (B
OP
) in the
presence of a sufficiently strong South pole mag-
netic field facing the marked side of the package.
Similarly, the output will be latched off (B
RP
) in the
presence of a North field.

The SOT-23 device is reversed from the UA pack-
age. The SOT-23 output transistor will be latched
on in the presence of a sufficiently strong North
pole magnetic field subjected to the marked face.

tion, a 100Ω resistor in series with V

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 possi-
ble. The CMOS chip is also much smaller than
a bipolar chip, allowing very sophisticated cir-
cuitry to be placed in less space. The small chip
size also contributes to lower physical stress
and less power consumption.
Applications
If reverse supply protection is desired, use a re-
sistor in series with the V
DD
pin. The resistor will
limit the Supply Current (Fault), I
DD
, to 50 mA.
For severe EMC conditions, use the application
circuit below.
Installation
Consider temperature coefficients of Hall IC and
magnetics, as well as air gap life time varia-
tions. Observe temperature limits during wave
soldering.
