The A8835 is a highly integrated IC that charges photoflash capacitors for digital and film cameras. Part A8835 is manufactured by Allegro MicroSystems. It is a high-sensitivity, micropower, omnipolar Hall-effect switch designed for battery-operated applications. Key specifications include:

- **Operating Voltage Range:** 1.8V to 5.5V
- **Quiescent Current:** Typically 1.5µA
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -40°C to 85°C
- **Output Type:** Open-drain
- **Magnetic Sensitivity:** Omnipolar (responds to both north and south poles)
- **Package Type:** SOT-23W (ultra-miniature surface-mount package)
- **Switching Points:** Typically ±30G (3mT)

This part is suitable for low-power applications such as portable and battery-powered devices, including mobile phones, laptops, and other consumer electronics.
