General Description

    Using low power CMOS process, the AS1918 is designed for low power, high performance unipolar detection hall-effect application, such as cover switch, contactless switch, solid state switch and lid close sensor etc battery operation. The hall IC integrated an on-chip hall voltage generator for magnetic sensing, a comparator that amplifiers the hall voltage, a Chopper amplifier, a Schmitt trigger to provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, and a complementary output.
    The total power consumption of AS1918 is typically less than 2.0uA at 3.3V power supply. AS1918 is designed to respond to alternating South pole. When the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than operate point (BOPS), the output will be turned on (low), the output is held until the magnetic flux density (B) is lower than release point (BRPS), then turn off (high).
    The device is available in SIP-3L, SSOT23-3L, SOT23-3L, DFN1010-4L and SOT553 Packages and is rated over the -40°C to 85°C. The package is RoHS compliant.
