Introduces SS360NT/SS360ST/SS460S High Sensitivity Bipolar Latching Digital Hall
Effect Sensor ICs
Small,
Sensitive, Versatile Devices Provide a Faster Latch Response Time
MINNEAPOLIS, June
11, 2012 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) expands
its magnetic position sensor product portfolio with the SS360NT/SS360ST/SS460S
High Sensitivity Bipolar Latching Digital Hall-effect Sensor Integrated
Circuits. Bipolar latching magnetics make these products well-suited for
accurate speed sensing and revolutions-per-minute (RPM)
measurement.
For brushless DC
motor manufacturers that need latching sensor ICs with reliable, consistent
performance for efficient and small designs, Honeywell’s family of new High
Sensitivity Latching Digital Hall-effect Sensor ICs respond to low magnetic
fields and offer consistent repeatability while providing the fastest response
to a change in magnetic field for enhanced motor efficiency. These new sensors
offer reliable switching points with high magnetic sensitivity of 30 G typical
(55 G maximum) without using chopper stabilization on the Hall element,
resulting in a clean output signal and the fastest latch response time in its
class.
“Brushless DC motor
manufacturers need sensors with high sensitivity, stable magnetics, and very
fast response times to commutate the motor as efficiently as possible,” said
Josh Edberg, global product marketing manager for Honeywell Sensing and Control.
“By designing high-sensitivity sensor ICs without chopper stabilization, this
family of sensors enables faster response times, which ultimately means more
efficient motors.”
These small,
sensitive, and versatile devices are operated by the magnetic field from a
permanent magnet or an electromagnet. They are designed to respond to
alternating North and South poles.
The
SS360NT/SS360ST/SS460S can be used in a wide range of applications. Potential
industrial/commercial applications include brushless dc motor commutation,
flow-rate sensing for appliances, speed and RPM sensing, tachometer/counter
pickup, motor and fan control, and robotics control. Potential
transportation applications include speed and RPM sensing,
tachometer/counter pickup, motor and fan control, electronic window lifts, and
convertible roof position. Potential medical applications include medical
equipment that utilizes electric motors.
These devices
operate over the full temperature range of -40 °C to 150 °C [-40 °F to 302 °F].
Two package styles are available: Subminiature, SOT-23 surface mount package
(SS360NT/SS360ST) supplied on tape and reel allows for compact design with
automated component placement; the small, leaded, flat TO-92-style package
(SS460S) allows for a compact PC board layout.
The
SS360NT/SS360ST/SS460S offer a wide operating voltage range of 3 to 24 Vdc,
allowing for potential use in a wide range of applications. Built-in reverse
voltage enhances the protection of the sensor and the circuits. Their durable
design allows operation up to 150 °C [302 °F]. Additionally, RoHS-compliant
materials meet Directive 2002/95/EC.
