Description

The SS39ET is a precision, ratiometric linear Hall effect sensor from Honeywell. It generates an analog voltage output that is linearly proportional to the strength and polarity of an applied magnetic field, with a sensitivity range of 1.0 to 1.75 mV per Gauss. This ratiometric design means the output scale factor is tied to the supply voltage, improving accuracy across varying power conditions.

Engineered for reliability, the sensor incorporates thin-film resistors for stable temperature performance and low-noise output, often eliminating the need for external signal filtering. Its miniature SOT-23-3 SMT footprint and wide -40°C to +100°C operating range make it suitable for demanding, compact applications in automotive, industrial, and medical electronics.

Key Features

  • Ratiometric Linear Output: Provides an analog voltage directly proportional to magnetic flux density and supply voltage for simplified signal conditioning.
  • Miniature SMT Construction: Subminiature SOT-23-3 package enables high-density PCB mounting in space-limited designs.
  • Low Power Operation: Consumes only 6 mA (typical at 5V) with a broad 2.7V to 6.5V supply range for battery-powered or low-power systems.
  • High Stability & Low Noise: Integrated thin-film resistors ensure output stability and minimal noise over the full temperature range.
  • Wide Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably across an extended industrial temperature span from -40°C to +100°C.
  • Bipolar Magnetic Sensing: Responds to both positive (South pole) and negative (North pole) magnetic fields.
  • Single Current-Sourcing Output: Simplified interface with a single output pin for easy connection to microcontroller ADCs.

Applications

  • Motor and actuator position feedback in automotive throttle control and brushless DC motors.
  • Current sensing via magnetic field measurement around a conductor in power supplies and battery management systems.
  • Proximity and linear position detection in industrial valves, pneumatic cylinders, and medical infusion pumps.
  • Tachometer and speed sensing using rotating magnets in fans, blowers, and conveyor systems.
  • Joystick and control lever position sensing in human-machine interface (HMI) devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'ratiometric' mean for this Hall effect sensor?

Ratiometric means the sensor's output voltage scale is proportional to its supply voltage. For example, if sensitivity is 1.5 mV/G at 5V, it would be approximately 0.81 mV/G at 2.7V. This simplifies design as the ADC reference voltage can be tied to the sensor supply, making the reading independent of supply voltage variations.

How do I interface the SS39ET with a microcontroller like an Arduino?

Connect the VCC pin to a stable 2.7V to 6.5V supply (e.g., 5V), GND to common ground, and the output pin directly to an analog input (ADC) pin on your microcontroller. No external pull-up resistors are needed as it provides a current-sourcing output. Ensure your ADC reference matches the sensor's supply for ratiometric accuracy.

What is the difference between linear and switch-type Hall sensors?

A linear Hall sensor, like the SS39ET, provides a continuous analog voltage output proportional to magnetic field strength and polarity. A switch-type (digital) Hall sensor provides a simple on/off digital output when a magnetic threshold is crossed. The SS39ET is used for precise position measurement, while switch types are for proximity detection.

Can this sensor measure alternating current (AC)?

Yes, but indirectly. The SS39ET measures the magnetic field generated by a current. For AC measurement, the current-carrying conductor must pass near the sensor. The sensor's analog output will then follow the AC waveform, allowing you to calculate RMS current. The sensor's bandwidth is sufficient for line-frequency AC measurements.
