The device supports a wide supply voltage range from 1.0 V to 3.5 V, operates with an ultra-low current of typ. 10.0 μA at 1.2 V, and integrates a space-saving DFN4 package measuring only 1mm × 1mm.

With full-polarity magnetic detection, active-low CMOS output, and no requirement for an external pull-up resistor, ET3715A30 provides an efficient and highly integrated Hall switch IC solution for applications requiring low power consumption, compact design, and reliable magnetic sensing.

What Is a Hall Effect Switch Sensor?

A Hall effect switch sensor is a semiconductor device that detects magnetic fields and converts magnetic changes into electrical switching signals. The operating principle is based on the Hall effect, where a voltage signal is generated when a magnetic field passes through the internal Hall sensing element.

The internal circuit processes the detected magnetic signal and outputs a digital switching response when the magnetic field reaches the specified operating condition. Compared with mechanical switches, Hall effect switch sensors provide contactless operation, eliminating issues related to physical contact failure and mechanical aging.

Because of these advantages, Hall switch ICs are widely used in applications where long lifetime, stable performance, and low power consumption are required, including portable electronics, smart devices, and battery-powered sensing systems.
