Achieve greater design flexibility by using a programmable Hall-effect switch
Benefits:
- Applying a voltage or connecting a resistor to the ADJ pin enables programming of the operational point (BOP) from 2mT to 15mT.
- This adjustable BOP offers design flexibility, device reuse across multiple platforms, easy last-minute design changes, simple and quick prototyping, and reduced simulation times.
- Connecting a digital-to-analog converter to the ADJ pin instead of an external resistor creates a software-programmable Hall-effect switch.
