MAX9921 Datasheet PDF - Maxim Integrated

●Description

●The MAX9921 provides a single chip solution to interface two 2-wire Hall-effect sensors to a low-voltage microprocessor (µP). This device supplies and monitors the current drawn by two Hall-effect sensors, filters the sensed current level, and outputs the corresponding logic level.

●The MAX9921 includes input diagnostics and fault protection. These features allow the device to determine fault conditions such as open inputs, inputs shorted to the battery, and inputs shorted to ground. If the MAX9921 detects any of these conditions at either IN1 or IN2, the device shuts off the current to the corresponding input.

●The MAX9921 protects the Hall sensors from supply transients up to 60V at the BAT supply. Normal operating supply voltage ranges from 6V to 18V. If the battery voltage is out of range, the MAX9921 shuts off the current to the Hall sensors.

●The MAX9921 provides an 80µs blanking time following Hall sensor power-up or restart. The open-drain logic outputs are compatible with logic levels up to 5.5V.

●The MAX9921 is available in a small 10-pin µMAX® package and is specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
