A3144E Hall Effect Sensor Module Product Overview
The A3144E Hall Effect Sensor Module (model KY-003) is a magnetic field detection module based on the A3144E unipolar Hall effect switch. The module integrates a Hall voltage generator, voltage regulator, differential amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and open-collector output stage, converting magnetic field strength into a digital voltage signal (0/1) output. When an S-pole magnet approaches the sensing surface, the output goes low. Manufactured using bipolar semiconductor technology, the module features compact size, high sensitivity, fast response, and excellent temperature performance. With an operating voltage of 3.3V-5V and TTL-compatible output, it can be directly connected to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and other microcontroller I/O pins. Widely used in smart car speed measurement, contactless switches, position detection, and security alarm systems.
A3144E Hall Effect Sensor Module Key Features
A3144E Unipolar Hall Effect Switch: Based on the A3144E Hall effect switch IC, specifically designed for South pole (S-pole) response. Output state switches when the S-pole magnetic field reaches the operating point (BOP).
Digital Signal Output: Outputs TTL-level digital signal (high/low). Output goes low (approx. 0V) when a magnetic field is detected, and high (approx. 5V or 3.3V) when no field is present. Directly connects to microcontroller I/O pins without ADC conversion.
Wide Operating Voltage: Supports 3.3V to 5V DC power supply. The chip itself supports a wider range of 4.5V to 24V.
High Sensitivity: Typical operating point (BOP) is 5.0-17.5mT, release point (BRP) is 2.0-5.5mT. High sensitivity enables detection at distances up to 3cm.
Fast Response: Typical output rise time and fall time are 0.2μs and 0.18μs respectively, suitable for high-speed speed measurement and position detection.
Low Power Consumption: Typical supply current is only 3.0mA, maximum 9.0mA, ideal for battery-powered devices.
Onboard LED Indicator: Features an onboard LED indicator that lights up when a magnetic field is detected, facilitating debugging and status indication.
Compact and Lightweight: Module dimensions of approximately 18.7×15mm and weight of only 1.2g, easy to integrate into various compact devices.
