A1126 Chopper-Stabilized Omnipolar Hall-Effect Switch Description Features and Benefits •AEC-Q100 automotive qualified •Omnipolar operation •Low switchpoint drift •Superior temperature stability •Insensitive to physical stress •Reverse-battery protection •Robust EMC capability •Robust ESD protection The A1126 integrated circuit is an omnipolar, ultrasensitive Hall-effect switch with a digital output. This device has an integrated regulator permitting operation to 24 V. This device is especially suited for operation through extended temperature ranges, up to 150°C. Superior high-temperature performance is made possible through an Allegro™ patented dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding, temperature excursions, and thermal stress. Packages: 3-pin SOT23-W 2 mm × 3 mm × 1 mm (suffix LH) 3-pin ultramini SIP 1.5 mm × 4 mm × 3 mm (suffix UA) Not to scale The A1126 Hall-effect switch includes the following on a single silicon chip: voltage regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit-protected open-drain output. Advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication processing is used to take advantage of low-voltage requirements, component matching, very low input-offset errors, and small component geometries. The omnipolar operation of the A1126 allows activation with either a north or a south polarity field of sufficient strength. In the absence of a magnetic field, the output is off.

After turn-on, the output voltage is VOUT(SAT) . The output transistor is capable of sinking current up to the short circuit current limit, IOM , which is a minimum of 30 mA. When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point, BRPx , 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 switch- ing of the output even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. In the case of omnipolar switch devices, removal of the magnetic field results in the device output high (off). Powering-on the device in the hysteresis range (less than BOPx and greater than BRPx ) will allow an indeterminate output state. The correct state is attained after the first excursion beyond BOPx or BRPx .

Typical Application Circuit 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 sensor chip. 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 modulation-demodulation 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 field-induced signal to recover its original spec- trum at baseband, while the DC offset becomes a high-frequency signal. The magnetic-sourced signal then can pass through a low-pass filter, while the modulated DC offset is suppressed. The chopper stabilization technique uses a 400 kHz high frequency clock. For demodulation process, a sample-and-hold technique is used, where the sampling is performed at twice the chopper frequency. 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 highdensity logic integration and sample-and-hold circuits.

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, RθJA, 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, RθJC, is relatively small component of RθJA. 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) ΔT = PD × RθJA(2) TJ = TA + ΔT (3) Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package UA, using a single-layer PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RθJA = 165 °C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and ICC(max) = 4 mA. Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max) . First, invert equation 3: ΔTmax = 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) = ΔTmax ÷ RθJA = 15°C ÷ 165 °C/W = 91 mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 91 mW ÷ 4 mA = 23 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 RθJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max) , then operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions. For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C, VIN = 12 V, IIN = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then: PD = VIN × IIN = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW ΔT = PD × RθJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C A worst-case estimate, PD(max) , represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max) , at a selected RθJA and TA.
