AH8501
HIGH ACCURACY LOW POWER / MICROPOWER
LINEAR HALL EFFECT SENSOR
PRELIMINARY - CONFIDENTIAL
Description
Pin Assignments
The AH8501 is a high accuracy, low power/micropower linear Hall
effect sensor with an 8-bit output resolution. The output voltage is
ratiometric to the supply voltage and proportional to the magnetic flux
density, perpendicular to the part marking surface. The output null
voltage is at half the supply voltage.
(Top View)
AH8501 is a trimmed device with typical sensitivity of 2.25mV/G and
3.8mV/G at 1.8V and 3V respectively with an accuracy of 3% at 25°C.
The device has a typical input referred rms noise of 0.36G and 0.24G
at 1.8V and 3.0V.
Designed for battery powered consumer equipment to office
equipment, home appliances and industrial applications, the AH8501
can operate over the supply range of 1.6V to 3.6V and uses an
externally controlled ENABLE pin clocking system to control operating
modes and sampling rates to minimize the power consumption. The
typical average operating supply current is between 8.9µA during
sleep mode and 1.16mA at maximum sampling rate at 1.8V. With a
conversion pulse every 50ms at the ENABLE pin, the device achieves
a micropower operation with the power consumption of 22µW typical
at 1.8V supply.
To minimize PCB space the AH8501 are available in small, low profile
U-DFN2020-6.

Power Supply Input
Device “Awake” and “Sleep” control pin:
An external PWM signal to the ENABLE pin controls the operating modes
(Sleep Mode, Auto-Run Mode and External Drive Mode), awake and sleep
periods to adjust the sampling rate and to minimize the power consumption
to achieve micropower operation.
When the ENABLE = GND continuously the device is in sleep mode
consuming only 8.9µA typical at 1.8V. When the ENABLE pin is left floating,
the device defaults to sleep mode. The ENABLE pin is internally pulled low.

ENABLE
When ENABLE = VDD (or Logic High) continuously, device is in auto-run
mode with sampling rate of 6.25kHz typical consuming 1.01mA at 1.8V
In external drive mode, an external PWM signal can be used to drive the
ENABLE pin to adjust the sampling frequency up to 7.14kHz typical.
A minimum pulse width needed on ENABLE pin to start one Awake/Sleep
cycle (i.e. one sample/conversion cycle) is 20µs typical. We recommended
using a pulse width of 40µs minimum. The minimum awake period for one
sample/conversion cycle is140µs typical.

PRELIMINARY - CONFIDENTIAL
ENABLE Pin - Awake and Sleep Period Control
ENABLE pin controls the device’s “Awake” and “Sleep” periods and operating modes (Sleep, Auto-Run and External Drive modes).
When the ENABLE pin is pulled low (ENABLE = GND) continuously, the device enters sleep mode where the supply current is 8.93µA typical at
VDD = 1.8V (the output is 0.9V). The ENABLE pin is internally pulled low and therefore the default mode is the sleep mode if the ENABLE pin is
left floating.
When the ENABLE pin is pulled high (ENABLE = VDD or pulled high) the device enters auto-run mode with the conversion time TCONV of 16 clock
cycles (160µs typical) and therefore the sampling rate is 6.25kHz. The average supply current with the ENABLE pin pulled high continuously is
1.01mA at VDD = 1.8V.
In external drive mode, the sample rate can be controlled between 0 to 7.14kHz by clocking the ENABLE pin with an external PWM signal. The
minimum pulse width needed on the ENABLE pin to start sample/conversion is 20µs typical; we recommend using pulse width of 40µs minimum.
When the ENABLE pin is clocked, the conversion time (signal acquisition, conversion and output update) TCONV is 14 clock cycles (140µs
typical). When the ENABLE goes high, the sample trigger delay is 1 clock pulse (10µs) where supply current remains at 8.93µA typical at VDD =
1.8V. After the sample trigger delay, the next 12 clock pulse (120µs typical) is ‘Awake’ period where the typical supply current is 1.35mA at 1.8V
supply. The next pulse (10µs) is used to update the output stage and during this time the supply current drops back to 8.93µA typical at 1.8V
supply. Therefore, the average supply current while the device is at the maximum sampling rate of 7.14kHz is 1.16mA typical at 1.8V supply. At
a sampling rate of 20Hz, the supply current is 12µA typical at VDD = 1.8V achieving micropower operation.
For ENABLE pin clocking period of T, the average current is given by

Quiescent Output Voltage VNULL and Offset Voltage
The figure below shows the ideal transfer curve near zero magnetic field (B = 0Gauss). Zero Gauss is the transition point between
VOUTPUT = VDD*127/128 and VOUTPUT = VDD/2. When B is slightly larger than zero, the output is one-half the supply voltage typically.
Quiescent output voltage (VNULL) is defined as the typical output voltage when B = 0.5Gauss (slightly higher than 0G). Any difference of VNULL
from VDD/2 introduces offset (VOFSET).

AH8501
Sensitivity and Transfer Characteristic
The device responds to the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the part marking surface. For South pole magnetic flux density increase from
0G, the output voltage will increase from VNULL and for a North magnetic pole field, the output will decrease from VNULL. The changes in the
voltage level up or down are symmetrical to VNULL and are proportional to the magnetic flux density.
The output voltage change is proportional to the magnitude and polarity of the magnetic field perpendicular to the part marking surface. This
proportionality is defined as output voltage sensitivity and is given by
!SENS = !OUTB_MAX − !OUTB_MIN
.MAX − .MIN
The AH8501 has a measurable magnetic field range of +/-400G and output voltage range of 0V to (255/256)VDD. Therefore sensitivity at 1.8V is
given by
1.8!
!SENS_1.8V = = 2.256!/3
8003
The device has an internal ADC and DAC with a resolution of 8-bits. Therefore, the measurement resolution is 3.125G/LSB at VDD = 1.8V. In
terms of voltage, the output resolution at 1.8V is 7mV/LSB typical. The device follows the 8-bit step for transfer curve superimposed on the
VSENS above. This difference in theoretical linear value with 8-bit resolution steps produces a measurement (quantization) error at each step.
Quantization error (also measurement error) = 0.5*step = VDD/512(output voltage), OR

Span Linearity
The coordinate of transition points (V0~V255 and B0~B254) can be extracted from a transfer curve. Span linearity is defined and based on these
coordinate points.
Span linearity is defined as linearity arising from sensitivity differences between the maximum flux density range and half of the range for positive

Typical Null Voltage: Output Voltage at B = 0+ Gauss (Note 16)
16. Null voltage is the voltage with magnetic flux density B = 0G at the sensor. B = 0G is also the transistion point at VDD*127/128 for internal ADC and
DAC. To avoid the transition point fluctuation during measurement of null voltage, B = 0+ Gauss (e.g. 0.5G which is smaller than the 1LSB gauss step
of 3.125G) is used. See definition of the null voltage in application section.
