The A1145 and A1146 devices are two-wire, unipolar, Hall
effect switches that are factory-programmed at end-of-line to
optimize ultrasensitive magnetic switchpoint accuracy. These
devices use a patented high frequency chopper-stabilization
technique, produced using the Allegro advanced BiCMOS
wafer fabrication process, to achieve magnetic stability and
to eliminate offset inherent in single-element devices exposed
to harsh application environments.
Packages: 3 pin SOT23W (suffix LH), and
3 pin SIP (suffix UA)
Commonly found in a number of automotive applications,
these switches are utilized to sense seat track position, seat
belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift selector
position. Two-wire unipolar switches, such as the A1145
and A1146, are particularly advantageous in price-sensitive
applications because they require one less wire for operation
than do switches with the more traditional open-collector output.
Additionally, the system designer inherently gains diagnostics
because there is always output current flowing, which should
be in either of two narrow ranges. Any current level not within
these ranges indicates a fault condition. These devices also

feature on-chip transient protection and a Zener clamp to protect
against overvoltage conditions on the supply line.
The output currents of the A1146 switches HIGH in the presence
of a south (+) polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength, and
switches LOW otherwise, as in the presence of a weak field or a
north (–) polarity field. The A1145 has an opposite output: the
currents switch LOW in the presence of a south-polarity magnetic
field of sufficient strength, and switch HIGH otherwise.
Both versions are offered in two package styles. The LH is a SOT23W, miniature low-profile package for surface-mount applications.
The UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting.
Each package is available in a lead (Pb) free version (suffix, –T)
with 100% matte tin plated leadframe. Field-programmable versions
also available: A1185 and A1186.

The output, ICC, of the A1145 device switches low after the magnetic field at the Hall sensor exceeds the operate point threshold,
BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced to below the release
point threshold, BRP, the device output goes high. The differences between the magnetic operate and release point is called
the hysteresis of the device, BHYS. This built-in hysteresis allows

Chopper Stabilization Technique
When using Hall-effect technology, a limiting factor for
switchpoint accuracy is the small signal voltage developed
across the Hall element. This voltage is disproportionally small
relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the
Hall sensor. This makes it difficult to process the signal while
maintaining an accurate, reliable output over the specified operating temperature and voltage ranges.
Chopper stabilization is a unique approach used to minimize
Hall offset on the chip. The patented Allegro technique, namely
Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation, removes key sources
of the output drift induced by thermal and mechanical stresses.
This offset reduction technique is based on a signal modulationdemodulation process. The undesired offset signal is separated
from the magnetic field-induced signal in the frequency domain,
through modulation. The subsequent demodulation acts as a
modulation process for the offset, causing the magnetic fieldinduced signal to recover its original spectrum at baseband, while
the dc offset becomes a high-frequency signal. The magneticsourced signal then can pass through a low-pass filter, while the
modulated dc offset is suppressed. This configuration is illustrated in figure 2.
The chopper stabilization technique uses a 200 kHz high
frequency clock. For demodulation process, a sample and hold
technique is used, where the sampling is performed at twice the
chopper frequency (400 kHz). This high-frequency operation
allows a greater sampling rate, which results in higher accuracy
and faster signal-processing capability. This approach desensitizes the chip to the effects of thermal and mechanical stresses,
and produces devices that have extremely stable quiescent Hall
output voltages and precise recoverability after temperature
cycling. This technique is made possible through the use of a
BiCMOS process, which allows the use of low-offset, low-noise
amplifiers in combination with high-density logic integration
and sample-and-hold circuits.
The repeatability of magnetic field-induced switching is affected
slightly by a chopper technique. However, the Allegro highfrequency chopping approach minimizes the affect of jitter and
makes it imperceptible in most applications. Applications that
are more likely to be sensitive to such degradation are those
requiring precise sensing of alternating magnetic fields; for
example, speed sensing of ring-magnet targets. For such applications, Allegro recommends its digital sensor families with lower
sensitivity to jitter. For more information on those devices,
contact your Allegro sales representative.

Application Information
Typical Application Circuit
The A114x family of devices must be protected by an external
bypass capacitor, CBYP, connected between the supply, VCC,
and the ground, GND, of the device. CBYP reduces both external
noise and the noise generated by the chopper-stabilization function. As shown in figure 3, a 0.01 μF capacitor is typical.
V+
VCC
A114x
Installation of CBYP must ensure that the traces that connect it to
the A114x pins are no greater than 5 mm in length.
All high-frequency interferences conducted along the supply
lines are passed directly to the load through CBYP, and it serves
only to protect the A114x internal circuitry. As a result, the load
ECU (electronic control unit) must have sufficient protection,
other than CBYP, installed in parallel with the A114x.

A series resistor on the supply side, RS (not shown), in combination with CBYP, creates a filter for EMI pulses.
When determining the minimum VCC requirement of the A114x
device, the voltage drops across RS and the ECU sense resistor,
RSENSE, must be taken into consideration. The typical value for
RSENSE is approximately 100 Ω.

Power Derating
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature of the device, TJ(max). Under certain combinations of
peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the
application. This section presents a procedure for correlating
factors affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on
the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.)
The Package Thermal Resistance, RθJA, is a figure of merit summarizing the ability of the application and the device to dissipate
heat from the junction (die), through all paths to the ambient air.
Its primary component is the Effective Thermal Conductivity,
K, of the printed circuit board, including adjacent devices and
traces. Radiation from the die through the device case, RθJC, is
relatively small component of RθJA. Ambient air temperature,
TA, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by
overmolding.
The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, PD), can
be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental
relationships used to estimate TJ, at PD.
PD = VIN × IIN
(1)
ΔT = PD × RθJA (2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package UA, using
minimum-K PCB.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RθJA = 165°C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and
ICC(max) = 17 mA.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First,
invert equation 3:
ΔTmax = TJ(max) – TA = 165 °C – 150 °C = 15 °C
This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal
power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2:
PD(max) = ΔTmax ÷ RθJA = 15°C ÷ 165 °C/W = 91 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 91 mW ÷ 17 mA = 5 V
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤VCC(est).
Compare VCC(est) to VCC(max). If VCC(est) ≤ VCC(max), then reliable operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires enhanced
RθJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between VCC(est) and
VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions.
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C
TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max),
at a selected RθJA and TA.
