The KSY 44 is a MOVPE
1)
Hall sensor in a mono-crystalline GaAs material, built into an
extremely flat plastic package (SOH). It is outstanding for a high magnetic sensitivity and
low temperature coefficients. The 0.35
0.35 mm
2
chip is mounted onto a non-magnetic
leadframe.

Connection of a Hall Sensor with a Power Source
Since the voltage on the component must not exceed 10 V, the connection to the
constant current supply should only be done via a short circuit by-pass. The by-pass
circuit-breaker shall not be opened before turning on the power source, in order to avoid
damage to the Hall sensor due to power peaks.
