Fast response InSb Hall Effect IC
Following the worldwide awareness of the impact of climate change, the manafacturers of garden tools are shifting from petrol powered tools to environmental friendly battery power products. This shift to battery power devices brings along some challeges to match the petrol powered devices: Achieve the same power performance *Keep the same usage time To reach this targets, aiming for high efficiency motors is recommended. As the power comsumption is reduced, the battery can be kept in a reasonable size.
Advantages of using fast response InSb Hall Effect IC

Higher motor efficiency

Heat generation is suppressed

Lower power consumption

Reduction of vibration
reduction
Use Case|BLDC motor control
Principle
A Latch Hall effect IC switches On/Off when the magnetic fields at the N- and the S-pole are applied alternately. These characteristics can be used to detect the rotor position
Configuration example
Typical example with three Hall sensors placed at locations offset by 60 degrees each other on a 4-pole rotor

Merit for power Tools
Longer usage time on a single charge (same battery size as conventional product)
Smaller Battery size (same usage time)
Due to less vibration and heat generation, the burden of the user is decreased, enhancing the work efficiency
