Solving your position sensing and open/close detection problems
Low Power <400 nA for 5 Hz Sampling Rate <100 nA Sleep Current
With the Si72xx, you can finally add reliable hall effect based
sensors to battery powered systems without impacting their
battery life. At under 100 nA sleep current, and <400 nA for a
5 Hz sampling rate, they can help achieve multiyear and
decade lifetimes, even for systems powered with very small
batteries.
The extremely high sensitivity of the Si72xx devices lets you
reduce the size of your magnetics or extend your range, often
by a factor of two or more. This means you can reduce the
cost and footprint of your magnetics. The extended range
leads to enhanced flexibility and improved ease of use.
Replace unreliable and bulky mechanical solutions (like reed
switches) with the solid state reliability of the Si72xx. The
Si72xx is based on proven hall-effect based technology. It is
also capable of operating over -40 to 125 °C (select parts), and
is fully automotive qualified.
Bringing hall sensors into the modern age, the Si72xx allows you
to configure, measure and control the device over I2C. This gives
you ultimate flexibility during design and in your end application.
Reuse a single electrical design for multiple mechanical
platforms. Save system power by measuring the magnetic
field digitally rather than through an analog output. Program
thresholds in system to get higher accuracy and flexibility.
The built in tamper threshold (on select parts) allows you to
to detect attempts to bypass security. The built-in coil can be
configured to generate a known magnetic field. This can be
used to simply final test and product calibration, as well as to
verify the operation of the part once it is deployed in the field.
The Si72xx family offers parts with compensation for the
temperature dependence of ceramic and neodymium
magnets - eliminating a common source of error for precise
measurements.
The Si72xx (on selected parts) also contains a 1 °C accurate
temp sensor, which can be accessed via I2C This allows you to
reduce your BOM and add functionality.

The Si720x switch and latch devices have a digital output that changes state with change in magnetic field settings. This product family has two different output types - omnipolar and latch type outputs. Their operation is illustrated below (Bop is the magnetic field above which the output turns “on”, and Brp is the field strength below which it turns off. The difference gives you hysterysis for stable operation)same device to be used across multiple projects and platforms.

Si7210 - I2C Magnetic Sensors
These sensors allow you to control and configure the device, and let you read the magnetic field data over I2C on demand. They also
have a configurable digital output. This makes them ideal replacements for both switch/latch and linear output magnetic sensors.
The Si721x Linear output magnetic sensors bring class leading linearity and noise performance, while maintaining pin compatibility with many existing sensors. This allows you to reduce the size of your magnetics and improve performance with your existing design.

Si72xx-WD-KIT
The Si72xx-WD-KIT consists of a pre-programmed EFM32 Happy Gecko SDK, a wheel demo expansion board, and six postage- stamp-sized evaluation boards.
Wheel Demo
The expansion boards shows an example of degree accurate rotational position sensing using two Si7210 sensors. It also includes a demonstration for low power revolution counting and quadrant detection in conjucntion with the low power EFM32 Happy Gecko MCU.
Postage Stamp Boards
The kit also includes six “postage stamp” boards - ranging from switch and latch parts to I2C and analog output devices. These boards can be connected to the wheel demo expansion board using a fl ex cable for a quick, fl exible evaluation platform. The postage stamp boards also feature easy to use test points and connectors to allow you to use them for prototyping purposes by themselves as well.
