Programmable Linear Hall-Effect Sensor
Release Note: Revision bars indicate significant
changes to the previous edition.
The sensor is designed for industrial and automotive
applications and operates in the junction temperature
range from –40 °C up to 170 °C. The HAL1820 is
available in the very small leaded packages TO92UA-1
and TO92UA-2 and in the SMD-package SOT89B-1.
1. Introduction
1.1. Major Applications
The HAL1820 is a new member of the Micronas family
of programmable linear Hall-Effect Sensors.
The HAL1820 is a universal magnetic field sensor with
a ratiometric, linear analog output. It is produced in
CMOS technology and can be used for magnetic field
measurements, current measurements, and detection
of mechanical movement. Very accurate angle measurements or distance measurements can also be
made. The sensor is very robust and can be used in
electrically and mechanically harsh environments.
Major characteristics like magnetic field range, sensitivity, offset (output voltage at zero magnetic field) and
the temperature coefficients are programmable in a
non-volatile memory. The HAL1820 features a customer data register that enables the customer to store
production information (like production serial number)
inside each sensor.
Due to the sensor’s robust characteristics, the
HAL1820 is the optimal system solution for applications such as:
– linear position measurements,
– angle sensors,
– distance measurements,
– magnetic field and current measurement.
1.2. Features
– Ratiometric linear output proportional to the magnetic field
– Various programmable magnetic characteristics with
non-volatile memory
The sensor includes a temperature-compensated Hall
plate with choppered offset compensation, an A/D converter, digital signal processing, an EEPROM memory
with redundancy and lock function for the calibration
data, a serial interface for programming the EEPROM,
a ratiometric linear output and protection devices.
Internal digital signal processing compensates for analog offsets, temperature changes, and mechanical
stress, resulting in highly stable performance.
– Digital signal processing
The HAL1820 is programmable by modulation of the
supply voltage. No additional programming pin is
needed. The easy programmability allows a 2-point
calibration by adjusting the output signal directly to the
input signal (like mechanical angle, distance, or current). Individual adjustment of each sensor during the
customer’s manufacturing process is possible. With
this calibration procedure, the tolerances of the sensor,
the magnet and the mechanical positioning can be
compensated in the final assembly.
– Lock function and built-in redundancy for EEPROM
memory
In addition, the temperature compensation of the Hall
IC can be fit to all common magnetic materials by programming first and second order temperature coefficients of the Hall sensor sensitivity. This enables operation over the full temperature range with high
accuracy.
– operates from 4.5 V up to 5.5 V supply voltage in
specification
The calculation of the individual sensor characteristics
and the programming of the EEPROM memory can
easily be done with a PC and the application kit from
Micronas.
– Continuos measurement ranges from  20 mT to
160 mT
– Customer readable Micronas production information
(like lot number, wafer number, etc.)
– Temperature characteristics programmable for
matching all common magnetic materials
– Programming via supply voltage modulation
– Temperature and stress-stable quiescent output
voltage
– on-chip temperature compensation
– active offset compensation
– operates from 40 °C up to 170 °C
junction temperature
– operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic
magnetic fields up to 2.25 kHz
– overvoltage and reverse-voltage protection at VDD
pin
– magnetic characteristics extremely robust against
mechanical stress
– short-circuit protected push-pull output
– EMC and ESD optimized design

DATA SHEET
2. Functional Description
2.1. General Function
The HAL1820 is a monolithic integrated circuit which
provides an output voltage proportional to the magnetic flux through the Hall plate and proportional to the
supply voltage (ratiometric behavior).
As long as the LOCK register is not set, the output
characteristic can be adjusted by programming the
EEPROM registers. The IC can be programmed via
VSUP line. After detecting a command, the sensor
reads or writes the memory and answers with a digital
signal on the output pin.
Output/Magnetic Field Polarity
The external magnetic field component perpendicular
to the branded side of the package generates a Hall
voltage. The Hall IC is sensitive to magnetic north and
south polarity. This voltage is converted to a digital
value, processed in the Digital Signal Processing Unit
(DSP) according to the settings of the EEPROM registers, converted back to an analog voltage by a D/A
converter and buffered by a push-pull output transistor
stage. The function and the parameter for the DSP are
explained in Section 2.2. on page 8. Internal temperature compensation circuitry and the choppered offset
compensation enables operation over the full temperature range with minimal degradation in accuracy and
offset. The circuitry also rejects offset shifts due to
mechanical stress from the package. In addition, the
sensor IC is equipped with devices for overvoltage and
reverse-voltage protection at supply pin.
A LOCK register disables the programming of the
EEPROM memory. The register can not be reset by
the customer.
Applying a south-pole magnetic field perpendicular to
the branded side of the package will increase the output voltage (for Sensitivity < 0) from the quiescent (offset) voltage towards the supply voltage. A negative
magnetic field will decrease the output voltage. The
output logic will be inverted for sensitivity >0.
In addition HAL1820 features an internal error detection. The following error modes can be detected:
– Over-/underflow in adder or multiplier
– Over-/underflow in A/D converter
– Overtemperature detection
In case of an error the sensors output will be forced to
the lower error band. The error band is defined by
VDIAG (see Section 3.6. on page 14).

2.2. Digital Signal Processing and EEPROM
The DSP is the major part of this sensor and performs
the signal conditioning. The parameters for the DSP
are stored in the EEPROM registers. The details are
shown in Fig. 2–2.
The measurement data can be readout from the
DIGITAL OUTPUT register.
The customer can decide if the Offset is MSB aligned
or LSB aligned. The MSB or LSB alignment is enabled
by an additional Offset alignment bit (OALN). In case
the OALN bit is 1 the Offset is programmable from
50% up to 50% of VDD. This means that the Offset
covers the full-scale range. If the OALN bit is set to
zero, then the Offset covers only 1/4 of the full-scale
(12.5% up to 12.5% of VDD). The customer can
adjust the Offset symmetrically around 50% of VDD
(37.5%... 62.5% of VDD). The OFFSET register can be
set with 8-bit resolution.
DIGITAL OUTPUT
This 16-bit register delivers the actual digital value of
the applied magnetic field after the signal processing.
This register can only be read out, and it is the basis
for the calibration procedure of the sensor in the system environment. Only 10 bits of the register contain
valid data. The DIGITAL OUTPUT range is from 512
to 511.
2.2.2. Customer Register II
For Sensitivity = 1 the DIGITAL OUTPUT value will
increase for negative magnetic fields (north pole) on
the branded side of the package (positive DIGITAL
OUTPUT values).
MRANGE
Note: During application design, it should be taken
into consideration that DIGITAL OUTPUT
should not saturate in the operational range of
the specific application.
The area in the EEPROM accessible for the customer
consists of four so called customer registers with a size
of 16 bit each.
2.2.1. Customer Register I
Customer register I contains the bits for magnetic sensitivity (SENSITIVITY) and magnetic offset (OFFSET).
SENSITIVITY
Customer register II contains the bits for magnetic
range (MRANGE), linear and quadratic temperature
coefficients (TC and TCSQ), magnetic offset alignment
(OALN) and the customer lock bit.
The MRANGE bits define the magnetic field range of
the A/D converter. The following eight magnetic ranges
are available.

The SENSITIVITY bits define the parameter for the
multiplier in the DSP. The Sensitivity is programmable
between 2 and 2. The SENSITIVITY bits can be
changed in steps of 0.0156. Sensitivity = 1 (@ Offset =
0) corresponds to full-scale of the output signal if the
A/D-converter value has reached the full-scale value.
OFFSET
The OFFSET bits define the parameter for the adder in
the DSP. Offset defines the output signal without external magnetic field (B = 0 mT).

DATA SHEET
TC and TCSQ
LOCK
The temperature dependence of the magnetic sensitivity can be adapted to different magnetic materials in
order to compensate for the change of the magnetic
strength with temperature. The adaption is done by
programming the TC (Linear Temperature Coefficient)
and the TCSQ registers (Quadratic Temperature Coefficient). Thereby, the slope and the curvature of the
temperature dependence of the magnetic sensitivity
can be matched to the magnet and the sensor assembly. As a result, the output signal characteristic can be
fixed over the full temperature range. The sensor can
compensate for linear temperature coefficients ranging
from about 3100 ppm/K up to 2550 ppm/K and quadratic coefficients from about 7 ppm/K2 to 15 ppm/K2
(typical range). Min. and max. values for quadratic
temperature coefficient depend on linear temperature
coefficient. Please refer to Section 4.4. on page 22 for
the recommended settings for different linear temperature coefficients.
By setting this 1-bit register, all registers will be locked,
and the EEPROM content can not be changed anymore. It is still possible to read all register content by
sending a read command to the sensor. The LOCK bit
is active after the first power-off and power-on
sequence after setting the LOCK bit.
Warning: This register cannot be reset!
2.2.3. Customer register III and IV
Customer register III and IV contain 16 bits each.
These two registers can be read by the customer and
Micronas will use this register to store production information like wafer position, wafer number and production lot number.
Magnetic Offset Alignment Bit (OALN)

Locking the Sensor
Fig. 2–3 shows the signal path and signal processing
of HAL1820. The measurement output value y is calculated out of the input signal X with the following
equation
The last step is activating the LOCK function by setting
the LOCK bit. Please note that the LOCK function
becomes effective after power-down and power-up of
the Hall IC. The sensors EEPROM is then locked and
its content can not be changed anymore. The sensor
still answers to read commands on the supply line.
Y = sensitivity   X – OFFSET 
The parameters offset and sensitivity are two’s complement encoded 8-bit values (see Section 2.2.1. on
page 8).
Warning: This register cannot be reset!
2.3. Calibration Procedure
2.3.1. General Procedure
For calibration in the system environment, the application kit from Micronas is recommended. It contains the
hardware for the generation of the serial telegram for
programming and the corresponding software for the
input of the register values.
For the individual calibration of each sensor in the customer application, a two-point adjustment is recommended. Please use Micronas Software Kit for the calibration.

4. Application Notes
VSUP
4.1. Ambient Temperature
Due to the internal power dissipation, the temperature
on the silicon chip (junction temperature TJ) is higher
than the temperature outside the package (ambient
temperature TA).
OUT
HAL1820
100 nF
TJ = TA + T
47 nF
GND
At static conditions and continuous operation, the following equation applies:
Fig. 4–1: Recommended application circuit
T = ISUP * VSUP * RthjX
The X represents junction to air or to case.
4.4. Temperature Compensation
For worst case calculation, use the max. parameters
for ISUP and RthjX, and the max. value for VSUP from
the application.
The relationship between the temperature coefficient
of the magnet and the corresponding TC and TCSQ
codes for linear compensation is given in the following
table. In addition to the linear change of the magnetic
field with temperature, the curvature can be adjusted
as well. For this purpose, other TC and TCSQ combinations are required which are not shown in the table.
Please contact Micronas for more detailed information
on this higher order temperature compensation.
The following example shows the result for junction to
air conditions. VSUP = 5.5 V, Rthja = 250 K/W and ISUP
= 10 mA the temperature difference T = 13.75 K.
The junction temperature TJ is specified. The maximum ambient temperature TAmax can be calculated as:
TAmax = TJmax T
Temperature Coefficient
of Magnet (ppm/K)
4.2. EMC and ESD
The HAL1820 is designed for a stabilized 5 V supply.
Interferences and disturbances conducted along the
12 V onboard system (product standard ISO 7637 part
1) are not relevant for these applications.
For applications with disturbances by capacitive or
inductive coupling on the supply line or radiated disturbances, the application circuit shown in Fig. 4–1 is recommended. Applications with this arrangement should
pass the EMC tests according to the product standards ISO 7637 part 3 (Electrical transient transmission by capacitive or inductive coupling) and part 4
(Radiated disturbances).
4.3. Application Circuit
For EMC protection, it is recommended to connect one
ceramic 47 nF capacitor between ground and output
voltage pin as well as 100 nF between supply and
ground.

5. Programming of the Sensor
HAL1820 features two different customer modes. In
Application Mode the sensor provides a ratiometric
analog output voltage. In Programming Mode it is
possible to change the register settings of the sensor.
The serial telegram is used to transmit the EEPROM
content, error codes and digital values of the magnetic
field from and to the sensor.
tr
tf
VDDH
After power-up the sensor is always operating in the
Programming Mode (default after delivery from
Micronas and as long as the sensor is not locked). It is
switched to the Application Mode by setting a certain
volatile bit in the memory of the sensor or by locking
the sensor.

5.1. Programming Interface
In Programming Mode the sensor is addressed by
modulating a serial telegram on the sensors supply
voltage. The sensor answers with a modulation of the
output voltage.
A logical “0” is coded as no level change within the bit
time. A logical “1” is coded as a level change of typically 50% of the bit time. After each bit, a level change
occurs (see Fig. 5–1).

5.2. Programming Environment and Tools
For the programming of HAL1820 during product
development and also for production purposes a programming tool including hardware and software is
available on request. It is recommended to use the
Micronas tool kit in order to easy the product development. The details of programming sequences are also
available on request.
5.3. Programming Information
For production and qualification tests, it is mandatory
to set the LOCK bit after final adjustment and programming of HAL1820. The LOCK function is active after
the next power-up of the sensor.
The success of the LOCK process should be checked
by reading the status of the LOCK bit after locking and/
or by an analog check of the sensors output signal.
HAL1820 features a diagnostic register to check the
success and quality of the programming process. It is
mandatory to check that all bits of the DIAGN register
are 0 after the programming of the sensor. More
details can be found in the application note “HAL1820
Programming Guide”.
Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) may disturb the programming pulses. Please take precautions against
ESD.
