Hall effect switches and latches, what are the automotive applications? utomotive applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), window lift encoders, seat motors, seat belt tensioners and locking systems are largely driving their demand. Hall-effect sensor ICs are also widely used in driver controllers for off-road vehicles, heavy equipment, human-machine interface (HMI) and rollover (bank angle) sensors, mounts, and two-wheeled vehicles. They facilitate the fastest diagnostics on magnetic switches and latches and provide logic-compatible outputs that can communicate sensor status and support open/short circuit detection on lines.Examples of Hall-effect sensor ICs from Allegro MicroSystems are the APS11450 unipolar switch IC and the APS12450 bipolar latch. Diodes' AH371xQ family of high-voltage Hall-effect latches is also aimed at a variety of automotive applications.
