In October 2012, Honeywell's announced it's new SS551AT Digital Hall-effect Sensor ICs which are omnipolar devices that respond to either a North pole or a South pole and are available in an SOT-89B surface-mount package. The SS551AT supplements the SS351AT and SS451A introduced in November 2009. With the SS551AT, Honeywell now offers customers an omnipolar Hall-effect device that offers the following value to our customers: View more information.
· Simplifies installation: Omnipolar sensing simplifies installation and potentially removes steps and risk from the manufacturing process
· Improves design flexibility: Choice of SOT-23 SMT, leaded flat TO-92, and SOT-89B packages improve design flexibility
· Energy efficient: Low voltage 3.0 Vdc capability helps reduce power consumption, promoting energy efficiency
