AFL-Series Sensors—Low Power, Low Voltage Digital Switches

Features:

• Low voltage operat i o n t o 0. 9 V

• Low current consumption

• Digital switch output

• Precise detection of low magnetic fields

• Ultra-small packages (MSOP8 and TDFN 6)

• Available in millimeter-scale die

• Cannot be damaged by la rge magnetic fields

Description:

NVE’s AFL-Series Sensors are digital switches designed to run at very low voltages and currents. The

parts can operate from a single battery. The output is configured as a switch to detect magnetic fields,

switching on at a specified magnetic field, and off when the field is removed. Current-sinking or

current-sourcing output configurations are available. Both configurations supply up to 100 µA. An

external pull-up or pull-down resistor is required. The devices are available in MSOP8 or TDFN6

packages, or in die form.

AFL Product Selection Guide

AFL-Series part numbers follow the general form below. The first “x” in the part number specifies the

voltage range, the second “x” denotes the output configuration, the third “x” specifies the magnetic

operate point, and the last character pair specifies the package. The following sections define these

options.

Voltage Range of Operation

The first numeric digit of the part number in the form AFLxxx-xx specifies the operating voltage

range. Four ranges are available:

NVE AFL xxx-xx

Number Voltage Range of Operation

0 0.9 V – 1.3 V

1 1.8 V – 2.5 V

2 2.7 V – 3.6 V

3 4.5 V – 5.5 V

The quiescent supply current specifications apply within these ranges. Parts may be operated at higher

voltage than shown up to a maximum of 7 V, but the quiescent current will increase. For example, a

“1xx-xx” part can be operated up to 3.0 V although it might it exceed the quiescent current

specification.

NVE can supply custom parts for different voltage ranges. Minimum order quantities, special pricing,

NRE charges, and lead times may apply. Please contact NVE with your requirements.

Output

The second digit of the part number specifies the output configuration. Four output types are available:

NVE AFL xxx-xx

Number Output Type

0 Normally Off, Current Sink

1 Normally On, Current Sink

2 Normally On, Current Source

3 Normally Off, Current Source

“Normally Off” means that with no magnetic field applied the output will not provide current; when

the magnetic field is applied, the output current will turn on. “Normally On” is op posite. Parts will sink

or source up to 100 µA. Output current is not included in the quiescent current specification.

Operation

The magnetic field must be applied planar to the package in the direction of sensitivity. When the

magnetic field reaches the magnetic operate point, the output will turn on. There should be a pull-up or

pull-down resistor on the output terminal.
