Chopper-Stabilized, Precision
Hall-Effect Latches
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Symmetrical switch points
▪ Resistant to physical stress
▪ Superior temperature stability
▪ Output short-circuit protection
▪ Operation from unregulated supply
▪ Reverse battery protection
▪ Solid-state reliability
▪ Small size
The A3280, A3281, and A3283 Hall-effect latches
are extremely temperature-stable and stress-resistant
sensor ICs especially suited for operation over extended
temperature ranges to +150°C. Superior high-temperature
performance is made possible through dynamic offset
cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage
normally caused by device overmolding, temperature
dependencies, and thermal stress. The three devices are
identical except for magnetic switch points.
Packages:
Each device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage
regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier,
chopper stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit
protected open-collector output to sink up to 25 mA.
A south pole of sufficient strength will turn the output
on. A north pole is necessary to turn the output off. An
on-board regulator permits operation with supply voltages
of 4.2 to 24 volts.
Package LH
Package LT
Not to scale
Package UA
Three package styles provide a magnetically optimized
package for most applications. Package type LH is a
modified SOT23W surface-mount package, LT is a
miniature SOT89/TO-243AA transistor package for
surface-mount applications; while UA is a three-lead
ultra-mini-SIP for through-hole mounting. Each package
type is lead (Pb) free (suffix, –T), with 100% matte tin
leadframe plating.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Chopper-Stabilized Technique. The Hall element can be
considered as a resistor array similar to a Wheatstone bridge. A
large portion of the offset is a result of the mismatching of these
resistors. These devices use a proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock to reduce
the residual offset voltage of the Hall element that is normally
caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and
thermal stress. The chopper-stabilizing technique cancels the
mismatching of the resistor circuit by changing the direction of
the current flowing through the Hall plate using CMOS switches
and Hall voltage measurement taps, while maintaing the Hallvoltage signal that is induced by the external magnetic flux. 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 that faster signals can
be processed.
More detailed descriptions of the circuit operation can be
found in: Technical Paper STP 97-10, Monolithic Magnetic Hall
Sensing Using Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation and
Technical Paper STP 99-1, Chopper-Stabilized Amplifiers With A
Track-and-Hold Signal Demodulator.
Operation. The output of these devices switches low (turns
on) when a magnetic field perpendicular to the Hall element
exceeds the operate point threshold (BOP). After turn-on, the
output is capable of sinking 25 mA and the output voltage is
VOUT(SAT). Note that the device latches; that is, a south pole of
sufficient strength towards the branded surface of the device
will turn the device on; removal of the south pole will leave the
device on. 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 up in the absence of a magnetic field (less than
BOP and higher than BRP) will allow an indeterminate output
state. The correct state is warranted after the first excursion
beyond BOP or BRP.
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor

supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise and
noise generated by the chopper-stabilization technique.
The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices is
a ring magnet. Other methods of operation, such as linear magnets, are possible.
