Hall Effect Sensor Switch Circuit

In this configuration the hall effect sensor will convert a magnetic field within a specified proximity and will convert it into a linear analogue signal across its out pin.

Hall effect sensor switch circuit. When a magnetic source comes in close proximity to the hes it supplies a negative trigger pulse to the timer. If i wanted to use a hall effect sensor as a toggle switch what is the minimal circuit that could be used. Hall effect magnetic sensor. The dn6848 has a built in hall effect sensor schmitt trigger circuit power supply regulator and temperature compensation circuits integrated to a single chip.

A hall effect latch works like a switch but will stay on when the magnet is removed. Then turn it off next time the magnet is near and leave it off. It will turn off when the magnet is removed. A hall effect sensor is a sensor which detects magnetic fields.

A hall effect sensor is used to trigger a timer ic. Hall effect sensor switch in this circuit any load can be controlled depends on the hall sensor output a spdt relay is connected at the output stage of hall sensor. Although the hall effect sensor is a magnetic field sensor it can be used as the principle component in many other types of sensing devices current temperature pressure position etc. Essentially want to put an led into a badge and use a magnet to turn it on when near but stay on when the magnet is removed.

The circuit diagram shown here is of a hall effect switch. When the magnet south pole appears near to drv5013 then the output becomes low it makes the q1 transistor to open and hence the ve supply reaches q2 transistor base through r3 resistor. This ic can detect magnetic fields. Hall effect sensor ic dn6848 from panasonic is the heart of the circuit.

Generally hall effect sensors and switches are designed to be in the off open circuit condition when there is no magnetic field present. The simple circuit diagram can be seen below. Timer circuit a sensor can be used to trigger a timer for a specific duty. With this circuit we will be able to detect when any mangets in proximity of our circuit.

The hall effect sensor we will use in this circuit is an a1302 hall effect sensor manufactured by allegro. They only turn on closed circuit condition when subjected to a magnetic field of sufficient strength and polarity. A hall effect sensor is much smaller but can handle less current than a reed switch. This analogue signal can be easily used for driving a load or for feeding any desired switching circuit.
