A3290 and A3291 Chopper Stabilized, Precision Hall Effect Latches for Consumer and Industrial Applications FEATURES AND BENEFITS • • • • • • • • DESCRIPTION Symmetrical switchpoints Resistant to physical stress Superior temperature stability Output short-circuit protection Operation from unregulated supply Reverse battery protection Solid-state reliability Small package size The A3290 and A3291 Hall effect latches are extremely temperature-stable and stress-resistant sensor ICs, especially suited for operation over extended temperature ranges (up to 125°C). Superior high-temperature performance is made possible through Dynamic Offset Cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused by device package overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. The two devices are identical except for their magnetic switchpoints. They are not intended for automotive applications. Both devices include, on a single silicon chip, a voltage regulator, a Hall-voltage generator, a small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, a Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit protected open-drain output to sink up to 25 mA. A south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength is required to turn the output on. A north polarity field of sufficient strength is necessary to turn the output off. An onboard regulator permits operation with supply voltages in the range of 3 to 24 V. Packages: 3-Pin SOT23W (suffix LH) 3-Pin SIP (suffix UA) Two package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for most applications. Type LH is a miniature SOT23W lowprofile surface-mount package, and type UA is a three-pin ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting. Both packages are lead (Pb) free with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

A basic circuit is shown in Figure 1, demonstrating the effect of the magnetic field flux density (B) impinging on the Hall element. When using Hall effect technology, a limiting factor for switchpoint accuracy is the small signal voltage (VHALL) developed across the Hall element. This voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall device, caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. A large portion of the offset is a result of the mismatching of these resistors. The A3290 and A3291 use a proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock, to reduce the ressidual offset. The chopper-stabilizing technique cancels the mismatching of the resistor circuit by changing the direction of the current flowing through the Hall element (refer to Figure 2). To do so, CMOS switches and Hall voltage measurement taps are used, while maintaining VHALL 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 B More detailed descriptions of the circuit operation can be found on the Allegro Web site, including: Technical Paper STP 97-10, Monolithic Magnetic Hall Sensing Using Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation, and Technical Paper STP 99-1, ChopperStabilized Amplifiers with a Track-and-Hold Signal Demodulator. Operation The outputs of the A3290 and A3291 switch low (turn on) when a magnetic field perpendicular to the Hall element transitions through and exceeds the Operate Point threshold (BOP). This is illustrated in Figure 3. After turn-on, the output is capable of sinking 25 mA, and the output voltage reaches VOUT(SAT). Note that these devices latch; that is, after a south (+) polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength impinging on the branded face of the device turns on the device, the device remains on until the magnetic field is reduced below the Release Point threshold (BRP ). At that transition, 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. When the devices are powered on, if the ambient magnetic field has an intensity that is between BOP and BRP , the initial output state is indeterminate. The first time that the level of B either rises through BOP , or falls through BRP , however, the correct output state is obatined. +VHALL –V HALL Figure 1: Hall Element, Basic Circuit Operation V+ VOUT LowPass Filter VOUT(on)(sat) BOP BRP Sample and Hold Amp VOUT(off) Switch to Low Regulator Hysteresis of ∆VOUT Switching Due to ∆B Switch to High +V CC recoverability after temperature cycling. This technique will also slightly degrade the device output repeatability. A relatively high sampling frequency is used in order to process faster signals.

This configuration is shown in Figure 4. The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices is a ring magnet.Other methods of operation, such as linear magnets, are possible. The device must be operated below the maximum junction temperature of the device (TJ(max)). Under certain combinations of peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the application. 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. Sample power dissipation results are given in the Thermal Characteristics section. Additional thermal data is also available on the Allegro website.
