The A3517xUA and A3518xUA are sensitive, temperature-stable linear
Hall-effect sensor ICs with greatly improved offset characteristics. Ratiometric,
linear Hall-effect devices provide a voltage output that is proportional to the
applied magnetic field and have a quiescent output voltage that is approximately 50% of the supply voltage. These magnetic devices are ideal for use in
linear and rotary position sensing systems in the harsh environments of
automotive and industrial applications over extended temperatures to -40°C
and +150°C. The A3517xUA features an output sensitivity of 5 mV/G while
the A3518xUA has an output sensitivity of 2.5 mV/G. See the Magnetic
Characteristics table for complete, individual device parametrics.

Applications Information.
Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element, improved
temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity drift of
the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, and a rail-to-rail lowimpedance output stage.
A proprietary dynamic offset cancelation technique, with an internal highfrequency clock, reduces the residual offset voltage, which is normally caused
by device overmolding, temperature dependancies, and thermal stress. This
technique produces devices that have an extremely stable quiescent output
voltage, are immune to mechanical stress, and have precise recoverability after
temperature cycling. Many problems normally associated with low-level
analog signals are minimized by having the Hall element and amplifier in a
single chip. Output precision is obtained by internal gain and offset trim
adjustments during the manufacturing process.
These reduced-cost devices are supplied in a 3-pin ultra-mini-SIP “UA”
package only.

FOR HIGH-TEMP. OPERATION
CHARACTERISTICS DEFINITIONS
Quiescent Voltage Output. In the quiescent state (no
magnetic field), the output is ideally equal to one-half of
the supply voltage over the operating voltage and temperature range (VOQ ≈ VCC/2). Due to internal component
tolerances and thermal considerations, there is a tolerance
on the quiescent voltage output and on the quiescent
voltage output as a function of supply voltage and ambient
temperature. For purposes of specification, the quiescent
voltage output as a function of temperature is defined as
∆VOQ(∆T) =
VOQ(TA) – VOQ(25°C)
(1)
Sens(25°C)
This calculation yields the device’s equivalent
accuracy, over the operating temperature range, in gauss.
Sensitivity. The presence of a south-pole magnetic field
perpendicular to the package face (the branded surface)
will increase the output voltage from its quiescent value
toward the supply voltage rail by an amount proportional to
the magnetic field applied. Conversely, the application of
a north pole will decrease the output voltage from its
quiescent value. This proportionality is specified as the
sensitivity of the device and is defined as
Sens =
VO(500G) – VO(-500G)
(2)
1000 G
The stability of sensitivity as a function of temperature is defined as
∆Sens(∆T) =
Sens(TA) – Sens(25°C)
Sens(25°C)
x 100%
(3)
Ratiometry. The A3517xUA and A3518xUA feature a
ratiometric output. The quiescent voltage output and
sensitivity are proportional to the supply voltage
(ratiometric).
The per cent ratiometric change in the quiescent
voltage output is defined as
∆VOQ(∆V) =
VCC / 5 V
x 100%
(4)
and the per cent ratiometric change in sensitivity is defined
as
∆Sens(∆V) =
Sens(VCC) / Sens(5V)
VCC / 5 V
x 100%
(5)
Linearity and Symmetry. The on-chip output stage is
designed to provide a linear output to within 500 mV of
either rail with a supply voltage of 5 V. This is equivalent
to approximately ±800 gauss of ambient field. Although
application of stronger magnetic fields will not damage
these devices, it will force the output into a non-linear
region. Linearity in per cent is measured and defined as
Lin+ =
Lin– =
VO(500G) – VOQ
2 (VO(250G) – VOQ)
x 100%
(6)
x 100%
(7)
VO(-500G) – VOQ
2 (VO(-250G) – VOQ)
and output symmetry as
Sym =

VOQ(VCC) / VOQ(5V)
VO(500G) – VOQ
VOQ – VO(-500G)

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
TYPICAL CURRENT-SENSING APPLICATION
Calibrated linear Hall devices, which can be used to
determine the actual flux density presented to the device in a
particular application, are available.
B ≈ N x 6.9 G/A
For safe, reliable operation, the output should not be pulled
above the supply voltage or pulled below the device ground.
For optimum performance, a 0.1 µF capacitor between the
supply and ground, and a 100 pF capacitor between the output
and ground, should be added.
The ratiometric feature is especially valuable when these
devices are used with an analog-to-digital converter. A/D
converters typically derive their LSB step size by ratioing off a
reference voltage line. If the reference voltage varies, the LSB
will vary proportionally. This is a major error source in many
sensing systems. The A3517xUA and A3518xUA can eliminate
this source of error by their ratiometric operation. Because their
gain and offsets are proportional to the supply voltage, if they
are powered from the A/D reference voltage, the device output
voltage will track changes in the LSB value.
