Linear Hall Sensors

KTH3105

Manufacturer: CONNTEK

The KTH3105 gives 3.30 mV/Gs at 3.3 V across a ±420 Gs span — roughly a third of the KTH3101 range with three times the output per gauss. That balance is the reason it turns up in travel sensing: pedal, throttle and shift mechanisms move a short distance and the signal has to arrive at the ADC cleanly. Output noise is 4.8 mVrms, still low enough for 10-bit class measurements.

Overview

The KTH3105 is a high-gain ratiometric linear Hall sensor from CONNTEK, specified at 3.30 mV/Gs with a 3.3 V supply and 5.00 mV/Gs at 5 V. The corresponding field span is about ±420 Gs, which is the range most position and travel sensors need at a typical air gap, making this the usual starting point when the required field range is not yet fixed.

Output is an analog voltage referenced to VDD and quiescent at VDD/2 in zero field. The part runs from 3.0 – 5.5 V at around 4.5 mA, operates from -40 to +125 °C and is offered in SOT-23, TO-92S and DFN1616 packages, so it can be placed according to the mechanical design rather than the electrical one.

Key features

  • ±420 Gs span at 3.30 mV/Gs — the usual pick for travel and position sensing
  • Ratiometric analog output, quiescent at VDD / 2
  • 30 kHz bandwidth covers motor phase current sensing
  • 3.0 – 5.5 V supply, −40 to +125 °C operating range
  • SOT-23, TO-92S and DFN1616 package options
  • Noise low enough for 10-bit class position resolution

Typical applications

  • Pedal, throttle and gear-shift travel sensing
  • Linear position measurement at a fixed air gap
  • Contactless current sensing in busbars and motor phases
  • Magnetic field strength measurement
