Ultralow Power WLCSP Magnetic
Switch Sensors
Our
latest wafer-level chip scale magnetic sensors are a line of ultralow
power magnetic switch sensors. Ultralow power makes them ideal for battery
operation, and their ultraminiature 0.65 mm package makes them perfect for
tight spaces and provides unmatched spatial sensitivity. They're designed for
3.3-volt supplies or lithium batteries. Applications include gas and water meters,
portable instruments, and harvested-power deployments.
Tiny But Capable
Magnetic
switches turn on when a magnetic field is applied and turn off when the field
is removed. These ultralow-power versions are internally duty-cycled to reduce
power consumption. An integrated latch makes the output continuously available.
Unique Features
The applied field can be of either polarity, and the operate point is extremely
stable across supply voltage and the full industrial temperature range. The open-drain
output can sink up to 100 microamps.
Key specifications for the new versions include:
• Choice of magnetic operate points
• Omnipolar
• 2.4 to 4.2 V supply voltage
• Power as low as 84 nW
• Full 40 to 125°C temperature range
• Ultraminiature 0.65 x 0.65 mm four-pad solder-bumped

Summary:
A new independent paper describes a digitization method and characterizes an AA004-02E
NVE AA004 GMR analog magnetometer. The NVE sensor's three-sigma resolution was
a remarkable 3.72 µT over a 0.5 to 3.5 mT field range:
The digitization method used a voltage-to-frequency convertor:
