The A3150JLT and A3150JUA programmable switches provide
tooth/valley recognition in large gear-tooth sensing applications. Each
device consists of a single element, chopper-stabilized Hall-effect IC
that can be programmed to the desired magnetic switch point, optimizing device airgap and timing accuracy performance after final
packaging. The small package can be easily assembled and used in
conjunction with a wide variety of gear/target shapes and sizes. The
two devices differ only in package style.

The technology used for this deviceis Hall-effect based.
The device incorporates a single-element Hall IC that switches in
response to magnetic signals created by a ferrous target. The programmability of the circuit eliminates magnet and system offsets such as
those caused by tilt yet provides zero-speed detection capabilities
without the associated running jitter inherent in classical digital solutions.
A proprietary dynamic offset cancelation technique, with an
internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset voltage,
which is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature
dependancies, and thermal stress. This technique produces devices that
have an extremely stable quiescent output voltage, are immune to
mechanical stress, and have precise recoverability after temperature
cycling. Many problems normally associated with low-level analog
signals are minimized by having the Hall element and amplifier in a
single chip. Output precision is obtained by internal gain adjustments
during the manufacturing process and operate-point programming in the
user’s application.
This system is ideal for use in gathering speed, position, and
timing information using gear-tooth-based configurations. The
A3150JLT/JUA are particularly suited to those applications that require
accurate duty cycle control or accurate edge detection. The lower
vibration sensitivity also makes these devices extremely useful for
transmission speed sensing applications.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Chopper-Stabilized Technique. These devices use a
proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with an
internal high-frequency clock to reduce the residual offset
voltage of the Hall element that is normally caused by device
overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress.
This technique produces devices that have an extremely stable
quiescent Hall output voltage, are immune to thermal stress, and
have precise recoverability after temperature cycling. This
technique will also slightly degrade the device output repeatability.

& HOLD
REG
X
B
+V
The Hall element can be considered as a resistor array
similar to a Wheatstone bridge. A large portion of the offset is a
result of the mismatching of these resistors. The chopperstabilizing technique cancels the mismatching of the resistors by
changing the direction of the current flowing through the Hall
plate and Hall voltage measurement taps, while maintaining the
Hall-voltage signal that is induced by the external magnetic flux.
The signal is, then, captured by a sample-and-hold circuit.

The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices
is a bar magnet with the south-seeking pole towards the branded
surface of the device. Many other methods of operation are
possible. Extensive applications information on magnets and
Hall-effect devices is also available in the Allegro Electronic
Data Book AMS-702 or Application Note 27701, or

Applications. It is strongly recommended that an external
bypass capacitor be connected (in close proximity to the Hall
element) between the supply and ground of the device to reduce
both external noise and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization technique.
HALL
VOLTAGE

Operation. The output of these devices switches low (turns
ON) when a magnetic field (south pole) perpendicular to the
Hall element exceeds the operate point threshold (BOP). After
turn-ON, the output is capable of sinking 25 mA and the output
voltage is VOUT(SAT). When the magnetic field is reduced below
the release point (BRP), the device output goes high (turns OFF).
The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the
hysteresis (Bhys) of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows
clean switching of the output even in the presence of external
mechanical vibration and electrical noise.

PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL
The A3150JLT and A3150JUA operate points are programmed by serially addressing the device through the
supply terminal (pin1). After the correct operate point is
determined, the device programming bits are selected and
then a “lock” set to prevent any further (accidental)
programming.
Program Enable. To program the device, a sequence of
pulses is used to activate/enable the addressing mode as
shown in figure 1. This sequence of a VPP pulse, at least
seven VPH pulses, and a VPP pulse with no supply interruptions, is designed to prevent the device from being programmed accidentally (for example, as a result of noise on
the supply line).

Address Determination. The operate point is adjustable in 64 increments. With the appropriate target or gear*
in position, the 64 switch points are sequentially selected
(figure 2) until the required operate point is reached. Note
that the difference between the operate point and the
release point (hysteresis) is a constant for all addresses.

Set-Point Programming. After the desired set-point
address is determined (0 through 63), each bit of the
equivalent binary address is programmed individually. For
example, as illustrated in figure 3, to program address code
5 (binary 000101), bits 1 and 3 need to be programmed.
Each bit is programmed during the
