It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor) between the

supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization technique.

The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices is a ring magnet. Other methods of operation, such as linear

magnets, are possible.

Extensive applications information for Hall-effect sensors is available in:

• Hall-Effect IC Applications Guide, Application Note 27701;

• Hall-Effect Devices: Soldering, Gluing, Potting, Encapsulating, and Lead Forming, Application Note 27703.1;

• Soldering of Through-Hole Hall-Sensor Dervices, Application Note 27703; and

• Soldering of Surface-Mount Hall-Sensor Devices, Application Note 27703.2.
