Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized
Unipolar Hall Effect Switches
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Chopper stabilization
▫ Low switchpoint drift over operating
temperature range
▫ Low sensitivity to stress
▪ Factory programmed at end-of-line for optimized
switchpoints
▪ On-chip protection
▫ Supply transient protection
▫ Reverse-battery protection
▫ On-board voltage regulator
▫ 3.5 to 24 V operation
The A1140, A1142, and A1143 devices are sensitive, two-wire,
unipolar, Hall effect switches that are factory-programmed at
end-of-line to optimize 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 in sensing seat track position,
seat belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift
selector position. Two-wire unipolar switches, such as the
A1140/A1142/A1143 family, are particularly advantageous in
price-sensitive applications because they require one less wire
for operation than do switches with the more traditional opencollector 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. The
A1140/A1142/A1143 family of switches also features on-chip

and switch HIGH otherwise. The other differences in the switches
are their defined low current levels and magnetic switchpoints.
The output currents of the A1143 switch HIGH in the presence of a
south (+) polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength, and switch
LOW otherwise, as in the presence of a weak field or a north (–)
polarity field. The other two devices in the family (A1140 and
A1142) have an opposite output: the currents switch LOW in the
presence of a south-polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength,
All 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: A1180, A1182, and A1183.

The output, ICC, of the A1140 and A1142 devices switch low
after the magnetic field at the Hall element 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

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 element. 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 device 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, RJA, 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, RJC, is
relatively small component of RJA. 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)
T = PD × RJA (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:
RJA = 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:
Tmax = 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) = Tmax ÷ RJA = 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
RJA. 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 RJA = 140 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW

T = PD × RJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C
TJ = TA + T = 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 RJA and TA.
