Q
Will AD524 work in a strong magnetic field
I need to use your AD524 in a 2Tesla magnetic field. Will it work. It is needed
to provide intrumentation for superconductive magnet system.
Will " hall effect " be a problem ?
please offer some advice
A
Our plastic packages all use copper alloys. The copper used in the manufacture
of leadframes has weak magnetic properties, and it is believed that it affects
the performance of Hall-Effect devices (like AD22151). Our ceramic/cerdip
alloys use either Kovar/Alloy 42 which have an Fe content and so could be
magnetised. The AD524 is available in these package styles.
DC magnetic fields cannot couple to the i/p's, o/ps are supplies to our IC's
and therefore will not cause a problem to the operation of our devices.
The three general points of EMI/RFI coupling are 1)signal i/ps, 2)signal o/ps
and 3)power supplies. At a minimum, all power supply pin connections on analog
and digital IC's should be de-coupled with 0.1uF ceramic capacitors.
Our seminar material on the web, CH9 of the "Practical Analog Design
Techniques" details ways of designing for EMI protection. Refer to the
