RATIOMETRIC, LINEAR HALL-EFFECT SENSORS
FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION
X
The A3515– and A3516– are sensitive, temperature-stable linear Halleffect sensors with greatly improved offset characteristics. Ratiometric, linear
Hall-effect sensors provide a voltage output that is proportional to the applied
magnetic field and have a quiescent output voltage that is approximately 50%
of the supply voltage. These magnetic sensors are ideal for use in linear and
rotary position sensing systems in the harsh environments of automotive and
industrial applications over extended temperatures to -40°C and +150°C. The
A3515– features an output sensitivity of 5 mV/G, while the A3516– has an
output sensitivity of 2.5 mV/G. See the Magnetic Characteristics table for
complete, individual device parametrics.

Pinning is shown viewed from branded side.
Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element, improved
temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity drift of
the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, and a rail-to-rail lowimpedance output stage.
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 and
offset trim adjustments during the manufacturing process.
These devices are supplied in a 3-pin ultra-mini-SIP ‘UA’ package.

CHARACTERISTICS DEFINITIONS
Quiescent Voltage Output. In the quiescent state (no magnetic field), the output is ideally equal to one-half of the supply
voltage over the operating voltage and temperature range (VOQ
∪ VCC/2). Due to internal component tolerances and thermal
considerations, there is a tolerance on the quiescent voltage
output and on the quiescent voltage output as a function of
supply voltage and ambient temperature. For purposes of
specification, the quiescent voltage output as a function of
temperature is defined as
∆VOQ(∆T) =
VOQ(TA) – VOQ(25°C)
Sens(25°C)
(1)
This calculation yields the device’s equivalent accuracy,
over the operating temperature range, in gauss.
Sensitivity. The presence of a south-pole magnetic field
perpendicular to the package face (the branded surface) will
increase the output voltage from its quiescent value toward the
supply voltage rail by an amount proportional to the magnetic
field applied. Conversely, the application of a north pole will
decrease the output voltage from its quiescent value. This
proportionality is specified as the sensitivity of the device and
is defined as
Sens =
VO(500G) – VO(-500G)
1000 G
Sens(TA) – Sens(25°C)
Sens(25°C)
The per cent ratiometric change in the quiescent voltage
output is defined as
∆VOQ(∆V) =
VCC / 5 V
Sens(VCC) / Sens(5V)
∆Sens(∆V) =
x 100%
(4)
VCC / 5 V
x 100%
(5)
Linearity and Symmetry. The on-chip output stage is designed to provide a linear output to within 500 mV of either rail
with a supply voltage of 5 V. This is equivalent to approximately ±800 gauss of ambient field. Although application of
stronger magnetic fields will not damage these devices, it will
force the output into a non-linear region. Linearity in per cent
is measured and defined as
(2)
Lin– =
VO(500G) – VOQ
2 (VO(250G) – VOQ)
VO(-500G) – VOQ
2 (VO(-250G) – VOQ)

(7)
and output symmetry as

(3)
Sym =

Lin+ =
The stability of sensitivity as a function of temperature is

Ratiometry. The A3515xUA and A3516xUA feature a

are proportional to the supply voltage (ratiometric).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SENSOR LOCATION
Calibrated linear Hall devices, which can be used to determine the actual flux density presented to the sensor in a particular application, are available.
For safe, reliable operation, the output should not be pulled
above the supply voltage or pulled below the device ground.
For optimum performance, a 0.1 µF capacitor between the
supply and ground, and a 100 pF capacitor between the output
and ground, should be added.
The ratiometric feature is especially valuable when these
devices are used with an analog-to-digital converter. A/D
converters typically derive their LSB step size by ratioing off a
reference voltage line. If the reference voltage varies, the LSB
will vary proportionally. This is a major error source in many
sensing systems. The A3515xUA and A3516xUA can eliminate
this source of error by their ratiometric operation. Because their
gain and offsets are proportional to the supply voltage, if they are
powered from the A/D reference voltage, the sensor output
voltage will track changes in the LSB value.
