The Allegro® A1101-A1104 and A1106 Hall-effect switches
are next generation replacements for the popular Allegro
312x and 314x lines of unipolar switches. The A110x family,
produced with BiCMOS technology, consists of devices that
feature fast power-on time and low-noise operation. Device
programming is performed after packaging, to ensure increased
switchpoint accuracy by eliminating offsets that can be induced
by package stress. Unique Hall element geometries and lowoffset amplifiers help to minimize noise and to reduce the
residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding,
temperature excursions, and thermal stress.
Packages: 3 pin SOT23W (suffix LH), and
3 pin SIP (suffix UA)
The A1101-A1104 and A1106 Hall-effect switches include
the following on a single silicon chip: voltage regulator,
Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, Schmitt
trigger, and NMOS output transistor. The integrated voltage
regulator permits operation from 3.8 to 24 V. The extensive
on-board protection circuitry makes possible a ±30 V absolute
maximum voltage rating for superior protection in automotive
and industrial motor commutation applications, without adding

external components. All devices in the family are identical except
for magnetic switchpoint levels.
The small geometries of the BiCMOS process allow these devices
to be provided in ultrasmall packages. The package styles available
provide magnetically optimized solutions for most applications.
Package LH is an SOT23W, a miniature low-profile surface-mount
package, while package UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for throughhole mounting. Each package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte
tin plated leadframes.

Magnetic flux density, B, is indicated as a negative value for north-polarity magnetic fields, and as a positive value for south-polarity magnetic fields.
This so-called algebraic convention supports arithmetic comparison of north and south polarity values, where the relative strength of the field is indicated
by the absolute value of B, and the sign indicates the polarity of the field (for example, a –100 G field and a 100 G field have equivalent strength, but
opposite polarity).

Continuous-Time Switch Family
Functional Description
OPERATION
The output of these devices switches low (turns on) when a
magnetic field (south polarity) perpendicular to the Hall sensor 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.
Powering-on the device in the hysteresis region, less than BOP and
higher than BRP, allows an indeterminate output state. The correct
state is attained after the first excursion beyond BOP or BRP.
CONTINUOUS-TIME BENEFITS
packaging to tighten magnetic parameter distributions. In contrast, chopper-stabilized switches employ an offset cancellation
technique on the chip that eliminates these offsets without the
need for after-packaging programming. The tradeoff is a longer
settling time and reduced frequency response as a result of the
chopper-stabilization offset cancellation algorithm.
The choice between continuous-time and chopper-stabilized
designs is solely determined by the application. Battery management is an example where continuous-time is often required. In
these applications, VCC is chopped with a very small duty cycle
in order to conserve power (refer to figure 2). The duty cycle
is controlled by the power-on time, tPO, of the device. Because
continuous-time devices have the shorter power-on time, they
are the clear choice for such applications.
Continuous-time devices, such as the A110x family, offer the
fastest available power-on settling time and frequency response.
Due to offsets generated during the IC packaging process,
continuous-time devices typically require programming after
For more information on the chopper stabilization technique,

Sensor Using Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation and

Power Derating
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) = 7.5 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 ÷ 7.5 mA = 12.1 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.
