The SS421 Series Adjustable Hall-effect Under-speed Detectors are designed to monitor fan or motor performance. This temperature-compensated, Hall-effect IC contains a timing circuit and logic, that senses magnetic input frequency. The internal circuitry contains a timer so that one or two pulses at a slower repetition rate than the set point do not produce an unwanted output.
A small amount of hysteresis has been built into the output so that operation right at the set point does not result in a chattering output. The user simply provides an external resistor and capacitor combination to select the RPM trip point that will fit the particular application.
