## Description

This is a cost-effective and highly functional hall-effect sensor. The Melexis 90217 is designed to be used with a bias magnet south facing the back (non-marked) side of the IC. With a single Hall plate, this sensor is immune to common rotary alignment problems. Very easy to interface with all microcontrollers.
