HALL-EFFECT,
The A3421xKA and A3422xKA Hall-effect, direction-detection
sensor ICs are a new generation of special-function devices that
are capable of sensing the direction of rotation of a ring magnet. These
transducers provide separate digital outputs that provide information on
magnet rotation speed, direction, and magnet pole count. These devices
eliminate the major manufacturing hurdles encountered in fine-pitch
direction-detection applications, namely maintaining accurate mechanical location between the two active Hall elements. Here, the two Hall
elements are photolithographically aligned to better than 1 µm, as
contrasted with 100 µm or worse mechanical location tolerance when
manufactured discretely. These highly sensitive, temperature-stable,
magnetic transducers are ideal for use in digital-encoder systems in the
harsh environments of automotive or industrial applications. The
A3421xKA is a high-hysteresis device designed for low-resolution
pulse counting while the A3422xKA is a high-sensitivity device
optimized for use with high-density magnets.

The A3421xKA and A3422xKA monolithic integrated circuits
contain two independent Hall-effect latches whose digital outputs are
internally coupled to CMOS logic circuitry that decodes signal speed
and direction. Extremely low-drift BiCMOS circuitry is used for the
amplifiers to ensure symmetry between the two latches so that signal
quadrature can be maintained. An on-chip voltage regulator allows the
use of these devices from a 4.5 V to 18 V supply. Both devices have
standard open-collector outputs; the logic operation of both devices is
the same.
Two operating temperature ranges are provided; suffix ‘E–’ is for
the automotive and industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C,
suffix ‘L–’ is for the automotive and military temperature range of
-40°C to +150°C. The 5-pin ‘KA’ SIP package provides a costcompetitive solution to linear magnetic sensing in harsh environments.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The integrated circuit contains an internal voltage regulator that powers the Hall elements and both the analog and
digital circuitry. This regulator allows operation over a
wide supply voltage range and provides some immunity to
supply noise. The device also contains CMOS logic
circuitry that decodes the direction of rotation of the ring
magnet.
Quadrature/Direction Detection. Internal logic
circuitry provides outputs representing speed and direction
of the magnetic field across the face of the package. For
the direction signal to be appropriately updated, a quadrature relationship must be maintained between the ring
magnet pole width*, the element-to-element spacing, and,
to a lesser extent, the magnetic switch points. For optimal
design, the device should be actuated with a ring magnet
pole width* two times the sensor-to-sensor spacing. This
will produce a sinusoidal magnetic field whose period
(denoted as Τ) is then four times the element-to-element
spacing. A quadrature relationship can also be maintained
for a ring magnet that has a period that satisfies the relationship nΤ/4 = 1.5 mm, where n is any odd integer.
Therefore, ring magnets with pole-pair spacings equal to 6
mm (n = 1), 2 mm (n = 3), 1.2 mm (n = 5), etc. are permitted.
The response of the device to the magnetic field
produced by a rotating ring magnet is shown on page 2.
Note the phase shift between the two elements.
*“Pole” refers to a single pole (North or South) unless
stated as “pole pair” (North and South).
Outputs. The device provides three saturated outputs:
DIRECTION, E1 OUTPUT, and SPEED. DIRECTION
provides the direction output of the device and is defined
as OFF (high) for the direction E1 to E2 and ON (low) for
the direction E2 to E1. SPEED provides an XOR’d output
of the two elements. Because of internal delays, DIRECTION will always be updated before SPEED and is
updated at every transition of E1 OUTPUT and E2 OUTPUT (internal) allowing the use of up-down counters
without the loss of pulses.
Power-On State. At power on, the logic circutry is reset
to provide an OFF (high) at DIRECTION and an OFF
(high) for E1 and E2 (internal) for magnetic fields less
than BOP. This eliminates ambiguity when the device is
powered up and either element detects a field between B
OP
and BRP. If either element is subjected to a field greater than
BOP, the internal logic will set accordingly.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Operation with Fine-Pitch Ring Magnets. For
targets with a circular pitch of less than 4mm, a performance improvement can be observed by rotating the front
face of the device (see below). This device rotation
decreases the effective element-to-element spacing,
provided that the Hall elements are not rotated beyond the
width of the target.
Applications. It is strongly recommended that an
external 0.01 µF bypass capacitor be connected (in close
proximity to the Hall elements) between the supply and
ground of the device to reduce both external noise and
noise generated by the internal logic.
The simplest form of magnet that will operate these
devices is a ring magnet. Other methods of operation,
such as linear magnets, are possible. Extensive applications information on magnets and Hall-effect devices is
also available in the “Hsall-Effect IC Applications Guide”
which can be found in the latest issue of the Allegro
