A3290 and A3291
Chopper Stabilized, Precision Hall Effect Latches for
Consumer and Industrial Applications
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Symmetrical switchpoints
▪ Resistant to physical stress
▪ Superior temperature stability
▪ Output short-circuit protection
▪ Operation from unregulated supply
▪ Reverse battery protection
▪ Solid-state reliability
▪ Small package size
The A3290 and A3291 Hall effect latches are extremely
temperature-stable and stress-resistant sensor ICs, especially
suited for operation over extended temperature ranges (up
to 125°C). Superior high-temperature performance is made
possible through Dynamic Offset Cancellation, which reduces
the residual offset voltage normally caused by device package
overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. The
two devices are identical except for their magnetic switchpoints.
They are not intended for automotive applications.
Both devices include, on a single silicon chip, a voltage regulator,
a Hall-voltage generator, a small-signal amplifier, chopper
stabilization, a Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit protected
open-drain output to sink up to 25 mA. A south polarity magnetic
field of sufficient strength is required to turn the output on. A
north polarity field of sufficient strength is necessary to turn
the output off. An onboard regulator permits operation with
supply voltages in the range of 4.2 to 24 V.
Packages:
3-pin SOT23W (suffix LH)
3-pin SIP (suffix UA)
Two package styles provide a magnetically optimized package
for most applications. Type LH is a miniature SOT23W lowprofile surface-mount package, and type UA is a three-pin
ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting. Both packages are
lead (Pb) free with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Chopper Stabilized, Precision Hall Effect Latches

A3290 and
A3291
Functional Description
Chopper-Stabilized Technique
The Hall element can be considered as a resistor array similar
to a Wheatstone bridge. A basic circuit is shown in figure 1,
demonstrating the effect of the magnetic field flux density, B,
impinging on the Hall element. When using Hall effect technology, a limiting factor for switchpoint accuracy is the small
signal voltage, VHALL, developed across the Hall element. This
voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can
be produced at the output of the Hall device, caused by device
overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress.
A large portion of the offset is a result of the mismatching of
these resistors. The A3290 and A3291 use a proprietary dynamic
offset cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency
clock, to reduce the ressidual offset. The chopper-stabilizing
B
+VHALL
The signal is then captured by a sample-and-hold circuit and further processed using low-offset bipolar circuitry. 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. A relatively high
sampling frequency is used in order to process faster signals.
More detailed descriptions of the circuit operation can be found
on the Allegro Web site, including: Technical Paper STP 97-10,
Monolithic Magnetic Hall Sensing Using Dynamic Quadrature
Offset Cancellation, and Technical Paper STP 99-1, ChopperStabilized Amplifiers with a Track-and-Hold Signal Demodulator.
Operation
The outputs of the A3290 and A3291 switch low (turn on) when
a magnetic field perpendicular to the Hall element transitions
through and exceeds the Operate Point threshold, BOP. This is
illustrated in figure 3. After turn-on, the output is capable of
sinking 25 mA, and the output voltage reaches VOUT(SAT).

technique cancels the mismatching of the resistor circuit by
changing the direction of the current flowing through the Hall
element. To do so, CMOS switches and Hall voltage measurement taps are used, while maintaining VHALL signal that is
induced by the external magnetic flux.

A3290 and
A3291
Chopper Stabilized, Precision Hall Effect Latches
for Consumer and Industrial Applications
Note that these devices latch; that is, after a south (+) polarity
magnetic field of sufficient strength impinging on the branded
face of the device turns on the device, the device remains on until
the magnetic field is reduced below the Release Point threshold,
BRP . At that transition, 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.
When the devices are powered on, if the ambient magnetic field
has an intensity that is between BOP and BRP , the initial output
state is indeterminate. The first time that the level of B either
rises through BOP , or falls through BRP , however, the correct
output state is obatined.
Application Information
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. This
configuration is shown in figure 4.
The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices is a
ring magnet.Other methods of operation, such as linear magnets,
are possible.
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. The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, is a figure of merit
summarizing the ability of the application and the device to dissi-
pate 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, RJC, is
relatively small component of RJA. Ambient air temperature,
TA, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by
overmolding. Sample power dissipation results are given in the
Thermal Characteristics section. Additional thermal data is also
available on the Allegro website.

available in: Hall-Effect IC Applications Guide, Application Note
27701 and Guidelines for Designing Subassemblies Using HallEffect Devices, Application Note 27703.1
