Description

The A1421, A1422, and A1423 are AC-coupled Hall-effect sensor ICs which include monolithic integrated circuits that switch in response to changing differential magnetic fields created by rotating ring magnets or, when coupled with a magnet, by ferrous targets. This family of devices also includes an integrated capacitor that provides the high accuracy of analog sensing without an external filter capacitor. This reduces cost and components, while improving the reliability of the final sensor solution.
