Application Note
Applications Circuit One – Low Band
Connecting the BSEL pin to ground permanently configures the AH1892 into its high sensitivity mode, requiring a reduced magnetic flux
density to activate its output (Low Band).
Applications Circuit Two – High Band
Connecting the BSEL pin to Vdd or to a voltage greater than 1.4V or leaving the BSEL pin unconnected configures the AH1892 into its low
sensitivity mode, requiring a higher magnetic flux density to activate its output (High Band).
Applications Circuit Three – Adjustable Sensitivity
To enhance flexibility within the application, the sensitivity can be adjusted with a standard logic signal allowing it to be controlled by a micro-
controller or a logic source. This allows the sensitivity to be changed within the application without a hardware change. Whenever the
sensitivity band selection is changed, the band selection changeover should be allowed to complete for the output to be valid.
