Principle of Operation

• A magnetic flux is measured by a Hall-Effect cell.

• The Temperature compensation modulates the bias current of the hall cell.

• The output signal from the Hall-Effect cell is amplified.

• A zero field voltage is added.

• The output voltage range can be clamped by limiters.

• The final output value is amplified and buffered.

• The output voltage is proportional to the supply voltage (ratiometric behavior).

•An OBD (On Board Diagnostics) circuit connects the output to

of errors.
