High Sensitivity Low Power TMR Switch Position Sensing > LF21235TMR TMR Omni-polar Switch 17 Gauss 1.5uA PushPull Z Axis Sensor Description The LF21235TMR TMR Switch is a digital omni-polar magnetic switch that integrates TMR and CMOS technology in order to provide a magnetically triggered digital switch with high sensitivity, high speed, and low power consumption. It contains a TMR magnetic sensor and CMOS signal processing circuitry within the same package, including an on-chip TMR voltage generator for precise magnetic sensing, a TMR voltage amplifier and comparator plus a Schmitt trigger to provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, CMOS push-pull output and Z axis sensing direction. An internal band gap regulator is used to provide a temperature compensated supply voltage for internal circuits, permitting a wide range of supply voltages. It draws only 1.5A (see Features below) resulting in low power operation, additionally it has fast response, accurate switching points, excellent thermal Functional Block Diagram stability, and immunity to stray field interference. It is available in the SOT23-3 Vcc package. The output of the LF21235TMR switches low (turns on) when the Power regulator magnetic field parallel to the sensing axis exceeds the operate point threshold, with temperature compensation BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point BRP device output switches high (turns off). The difference between the BOP and the BRP is the hysteresis BH of the device.

The recommended value for the external bypass capacitor is 0.1F.
