A3340 Chopper-Stabilized, Precision Hall-Effect Switch Features and Benefits Description ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ The A3340 Hall effect switch is an extremely temperature-stable and stress-resistant sensor IC especially suited for operation over extended temperature ranges up 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. Resistant to physical stress Superior temperature stability Output short-circuit protection Operation from unregulated supply Reverse battery protection Solid-state reliability Small size The 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 off. An on-board regulator permits operation with supply voltages of 4.2 to 24 volts. Two package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for most applications. Suffix LH is an SOT23W surface mount package and while suffix UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for through hole mounting. Packages: 3 pin SOT23W (suffix LH), and 3 pin SIP (suffix UA) The A3340 complements the A3240, which offers the same features, but with the opposite output polarity.

Operation. The output of these devices switches high (turns off) when a magnetic field (south pole) perpendicular to the Hall element exceeds the operate point threshold (BOP). When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point (BRP), the device output goes low (turns on). After turn-on, the output is capable of sinking 25 mA and the output voltage is VOUT(SAT). 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. Applications. 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. X B +V C C Dwg. EH-012 +VHALL –V HALL +V VCC OUT P UT V OL T A G E 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 maintaining the Hall-voltage 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.
