Honeywell VF360 High Sensitivity Latching Digital Hall Effect Sensor ICs are small, sensitive, and versatile devices that are operated by the magnetic field from a permanent magnet or an electromagnet and designed to respond to alternating North and South poles. The VF360ST is turned ON by a North pole while the VF360ST is turned ON by a South pole. The VF360 sensors do not use chopper stabilization on the Hall element and provides a clean output signal and a faster latch response time than sensor ICs that do use chopper stabilization.
