Functional Description
2.1
General
Precise magnetic switching thresholds and high temperature stability are achieved by active compensation circuits
and chopper techniques on chip. Offset voltages generated by temperature-induced stress or overmolding are
canceled so that high accuracy is achieved. The IC has an open collector output stage with 20 mA current sink
capability. A wide operating voltage range from 2.7 V to 18 V with reverse polarity protection down to -18 V makes
the TLV4906K suitable for a wide range of applications. A magnetic south pole with a field strength above B
op
turns
the output transistor on (output voltage low) and for a magnetic field below B
rp
the output transistor is switched off
(output voltage high).

Functional Block Description
The chopped Hall Effect Switch comprises a Hall probe, a bias generator, compensation circuits, an oscillator and
an output transistor. The bias generator provides currents to the Hall probe and the active circuits. Compensation
circuits stabilize response of the IC over temperature and reduce the impact of process variations.
The Active Error Compensation rejects offsets in the signal path and reduces the impact of mechanical stress in
the package caused by molding, soldering and thermal effects.
The chopper technique together with the threshold generator and the comparator ensure high accurate magnetic
switching points.
