ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes a Hall-element, a voltage regulator, and a threshold detector. DC power is supplied through a pair of terminals that may be connected to a remote DC voltage source. A switchable constant current sink circuit connected across these terminals is turned on and off in response to the two output states of the threshold detector that in turn is responsive to the Hall-element output voltage. Thus the DC current flowing in the two DC supply lines is a predictable large value or small value corresponding to a low and a high magnitude magnetic field at the sensor, even when the supply DC voltage changes over a wide range.
