These Hall-effect switches are monolithic integrated circuits with tighter magnetic specifications, designed to operate continuously over extended temperatures to +150 ° C, and are more stable with both temperature and supply voltage changes. The unipolar switching characteristic makes these devices ideal for use with a simple bar or rod magnet. The four basic devices (3141, 3142, 3143, and 3144) are identical except for magnetic switch points.

Each device includes a voltage regulator for operation with supply voltages of 4.5 to 24 volts, reverse battery protection diode, quadratic Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuitry, smallsignal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and an open-collector output to sink up to 25 mA. With suitable output pull up, they can be used with bipolar or CMOS logic circuits. The A3141- and A3142- are improved replacements for the UGN/UGS3140-; the A3144- is the improved replacement for the UGN/UGS3120-.

The first character of the part number suffix determines the device operating temperature range. Suffix 'E-' is for the automotive and industrial temperature range of -40 ° C to +85 ° C. Suffix 'L-' is for the automotive and military temperature range of -40 ° C to +150 ° C. Three package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for most applications. Suffix '-LT' is a miniature SOT-89/TO-243AA transistor package for surface-mount applications; suffix '-U' is a three-lead plastic mini-SIP, while suffix '-UA' is a three-lead ultra-mini-SIP.
