Description

The βS053 is a three-pin magnetic sensor integrated circuit for computer keyboards, made by IPRS Băneasa [1].

The I.P.R.S. Băneasa Full Line Condensed Catalog (1990) lists the βS053, βS255 and βS057 as three-pin magnetic sensors specially designed for computer keyboards: the sensor has a TTL-compatible open collector output that switches to the low state in the presence of a magnetic field; the series uses the same chip with different electro-magnetic performances, and the sensors are not recommended for an extended temperature range [1].

The catalog gives an operating temperature of 0…+70 °C (storage −25…+125 °C), a supply voltage of 4…6 V, a supply current of at most 6.5 mA, an output current of at most 40 mA, an „ON state” magnetic field of at least 30 mT (βS053), 50 mT (βS255) and 70 mT (βS057), and an „OFF state” magnetic field of at most 5 mT (βS053, βS057), printed „min. 25 mT” for the βS255 [1]. Pins (SOT-32, front view): 1 supply voltage, 2 GND, 3 output [1].
