linear Hall sensoranalog magnetic sensorTO92S-33 V to 8 V

XL591 is a 3-pin linear Hall-effect sensor for analog magnetic-field measurement. It operates from 3 V to 8 V and provides a nominal midpoint output of 2.5 V at 5 V supply with zero magnetic field.

Best for

  • Analog position detection
  • Magnetic-field sensing
  • Consumer control interfaces

Avoid if

  • A digital Hall switch output is required
  • The application exceeds the stated supply, output-current, or temperature limits

Check before use

  • Pin orientation and TO92S-3 assembly orientation
  • Magnetic polarity convention
  • Output load and optional 51 pF capacitor
  • Current supply and lifecycle status
