PRODUCT INFORMATION HAL 3625 Sept/2009 HAL® 3625 Programmable Direct Angle Sensor The HAL 36xy family is a new generation of Hall-effect sensors. Due to its advanced vertical Hall-plate technology it enables the possibility to measure magnetic fields in the chip plane. With this technology it is possible to directly measure rotation angles in a range of 0° to 360° with simple magnetic arrangements. The first member of this family is the HAL 3625. Two on-chip vertical Hall plates measure both magnetic field components BX and BY. The direct angle information is internally calculated by the sensor using the inverse tangent function and converted into an analog output voltage. Due to the measurement method, the sensor provides an excellent drift performance over temperature and therefore a new class of accuracy. The sensor provides a linear, ratiometric analog output signal with implemented wirebreak detection working with a pull-up or pull-down resistor. Major characteristics like gain and offset of X- and Y-channel, zero-angle position, phase shift between X- and Y-channel, output slope and offset and clamping levels can be adjusted to the magnetic circuit by programming the non-volatile memory. The HAL 3625 is available in the very small SOIC8 SMD package.

No additional programming pin is needed. Temperature Sensor A/D Converter Digital Output Lock Control GND The internal digital signal processing is of great benefit because analog offsets, temperature shifts, and mechanical stress do not degrade the sensor accuracy.
