PRODUCT INFORMATION

HAL

First ISO 26262 Compliant Low-Power Hall Switch

The HAL 15xy family consists of different

Hall switches containing a temperature-

compensated Hall plate with active offset

compensation and comparator, available

optionally with open-drain or current output.

As global Hall switch supplier with long-term

experience since 1993, 1.5 billion shipped

automotive switches and leading expertise

in high-quality Hall-effect sensor solutions,

Micronas expands its large switch portfolio

with the new HAL 15xy family.

All CMOS wafer processing is done in

Micronas’ facilities in Freiburg (Germany) to

ensure best quality control and highest flex-

ibility.

As improved successor of the well-known

HAL 5xy family, the HAL 15xy is available

as 3-wire version with short-circuit pro-

tected open-drain output and 2-wire version

with current output. HAL 15xy is available in

the smallest SOT23 as well, as TO92UA

package and provides lowest power con-

sumption, fast response times, and special

safety features like a unique power-on self-

test for greater customer benefit at an

excellent price-performance ratio.

With different switching-point versions, the

HAL 15xy switch family serves a broad vari-

ety of automotive and industrial applications

under harsh temperature conditions.

HAL 15xy fulfills the latest quality and

functional safety standards as AEC-Q100

qualified and ISO 26262 ASIL ready device,

enabling our customers to target even the

most safety-critical applications.
