A1202 and A1203 Continuous-Time Bipolar Switch Family FEATURES AND BENEFITS DESCRIPTION • AEC-Q100 automotive qualified • Continuous-time operation □□ Fast power-on time □□ Low noise • Stable operation over full operating temperature range • Reverse-battery protection • Solid-state reliability • Factory-programmed at end-of-line for optimum performance • Robust EMC performance • High ESD rating • Regulator stability without a bypass capacitor The Allegro™ A1202 and A1203 Hall-effect bipolar switches are next-generation replacements and extension of the popular Allegro A3133 and A3132 bipolar switch product line. Overall, the A120x family, produced with BiCMOS technology, consists of continuous-time devices that feature fast power-on time and low-noise operation. Device programming is performed after packaging, to ensure increased switchpoint accuracy by eliminating offsets that can be induced by package stress. Unique Hall element geometries and low-offset amplifiers help to minimize noise and to reduce the residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding, temperature excursions, and thermal stress. The A120x Hall-effect bipolar switches include the following on a single silicon chip: voltage regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and NMOS output transistor. The integrated voltage regulator permits operation from 3.8 to 24 V. The extensive on-board protection circuitry makes possible a ±30 V absolute maximum voltage rating for superior protection in automotive and motor commutation applications, without adding external components. All devices in the family are identical, except for magnetic switchpoints. Packages: 3-Pin SOT23W (suffix LH) 3-Pin SIP (suffix UA) The small geometries of the BiCMOS process allow these devices to be provided in ultrasmall packages. The package styles available provide magnetically optimized solutions for most applications. Package LH is a SOT23W, a miniature lowprofile surface-mount package, while package UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting. Each package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte-tin-plated leadframes.

There are three switching modes for bipolar devices, referred to as latch, unipolar switch, and negative switch. Mode is determined by the switchpoint characteristics of the individual device. The characteristic hysteresis, BHYS , of the device, is the difference in the relative magnetic strength and polarity of the switchpoints of the device. (Note that, in the following descriptions, a negative magnetic value indicates a north polarity field, and a positive magnetic value indicates a south polarity field. For a given value of magnetic strength, BX , the values –BX and BX indicate two fields of equal strength, but opposite polarity. B = 0 indicates the absence of a magnetic field.) field is reduced beyond the BRP level, the device switches back to the high state, as shown in panel B of Figure 1. Devices exhibiting negative switch behavior operate in a similar but opposite manner. A north polarity field of sufficient strength, > BRP , (more north than BRP) is required for operation, although the result is that VOUT switches high, as shown in panel C. When the field is reduced beyond the BOP level, the device switches back to the low state. The typical output behavior of the A120x devices is latching. That is, switching to the low state when the magnetic field at the Hall element exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP . At this point, the output voltage is VOUT(SAT). When the magnetic field is VS Bipolar devices typically behave as latches. In this mode, magnetic fields of opposite polarity and equivalent strengths are needed to switch the output. When the magnetic fields are removed (B → 0) the device remains in the same state until a magnetic field of the opposite polarity and of sufficient strength causes it to switch. The hysteresis of latch mode behavior is shown in panel A of Figure 1.

The field must be of sufficient strength, > BOP , for the device to operate. When the (A) RL BHYS Figure 1: Bipolar Device Output Switching Modes These behaviors can be exhibited when using a circuit such as that shown in panel D. Panel A displays the hysteresis when a device exhibits latch mode (note that the BHYS band incorporates B= 0), panel B shows unipolar switch behavior (the BHYS band is more positive than B = 0), and panel C shows negative switch behavior (the BHYS band is more negative than B = 0). Bipolar devices, such as the 120x family, can operate in any of the three modes.

The values of the magnetic parameters are specified in the Magnetic Characteristics table, on page 3. Note that, as shown in Figure 1, these switchpoints can lie in either north or south polarity ranges. The A120x family is designed to attain a small hysteresis, and thereby provide more sensitive switching. Although this means that true latching behavior cannot be guaranteed in all cases, proper switching can be ensured by use of both south and north magnetic fields, as in a ring magnet. The hysteresis of the A120x family allows clean switching of the output, even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. For more information on Bipolar switches, refer to Application Note 27705, Understanding Bipolar Hall Effect Sensor ICs. 2 Continuous-time devices, such as the A120x family, offer the fastest available power-on settling time and frequency response. Due to offsets generated during the IC packaging process, continuoustime devices typically require programming after packaging to tighten magnetic parameter distributions. In contrast, chopperstabilized switches employ an offset cancellation technique on the chip that eliminates these offsets without the need for afterpackaging programming. The tradeoff is a longer settling time and reduced frequency response as a result of the chopper-stabilization offset cancellation algorithm. The choice between continuous-time and chopper-stabilized designs is solely determined by the application. Battery management is an example where continuous-time is often required. In these applications, VCC is chopped with a very small duty cycle in order to conserve power (refer to Figure 4). The duty cycle is controlled by the power-on time, tPO, of the device. Because continuous-time devices have the shorter power-on time, they are the clear choice for such applications. Bipolar devices adopt an indeterminate output state when powered-on in the absence of a magnetic field or in a field that lies within the hysteresis band of the device. 1 Continuous-Time Benefits 3 4 5 VCC t VOUT t Output Sampled tPO(max) Figure 2: Continuous-Time Application, B < BRP This figure illustrates the use of a quick cycle for chopping VCC in order to conserve battery power. Position 1, power is applied to the device. Position 2, the output assumes the correct state at a time prior to the maximum Power-On Time, tPO(max). The case shown is where the correct output state is HIGH . Position 3, tPO(max) has elapsed. The device output is valid. Position 4, after the output is valid, a control unit reads the output. Position 5, power is removed from the device.

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 ΔT = PD × RθJA TJ = TA + ΔT For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C, VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then: (1) (2) (3) 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 (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RθJA and TA. Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package UA, using minimum-K 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) = 7.5 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 ÷ 7.5 mA = 12.1 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. 10 Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 www.allegromicro.com A1202 and A1203 Continuous-Time Bipolar Switch Family CUSTOMER PACKAGE DRAWINGS For Reference Only – Not for Tooling Use (Reference DWG-2840) Dimensions in millimeters – NOT TO SCALE Dimensions exclusive of mold flash, gate burrs, and dambar protrusions Exact case and lead configuration at supplier discretion within limits shown +0.12 2.98 –0.08 D 1.49 4° ±4° A 3 +0.020 0.180 –0.053 0.96 D +0.19 1.91 –0.06 +0.10 2.90 –0.20 2.40 0.70 D 0.25 MIN 1.00 2 1 0.55 REF 0.25 BSC 0.95 Seating Plane Branded Face Gauge Plane B PCB Layout Reference View 8X 10° REF 1.00 ±0.13 A1202 and A1203 NNT +0.10 0.05 –0.05 0.95 BSC 0.40 ±0.10 N = Last three digits of device part number T = Temperature Code (Letter) A Active Area Depth, 0.28 mm B Reference land pattern layout; all pads a minimum of 0.20 mm from all adjacent pads; adjust as necessary to meet application process requirements and PCB layout tolerances C Branding scale and appearance at supplier discretion A1203 only NNN D Hall elements, not to scale N = Last three digits of device part number C Standard Branding Reference View Figure 3: Package LH, 3-Pin (SOT-23W) 11 Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 www.allegromicro.com A1202 and A1203 Continuous-Time Bipolar Switch Family For Reference Only – Not for Tooling Use (Reference DWG-9049) Dimensions in millimeters – NOT TO SCALE Dimensions exclusive of mold flash, gate burrs, and dambar protrusions Exact case and lead configuration at supplier discretion within limits shown 45° B 4.09 +0.08 –0.05 1.52 ±0.05 E 2.04 C 2 X 10° 1.44 E 3.02 E Mold Ejector Pin Indent +0.08 –0.05 45° Branded Face 2.16 MAX 0.51 REF A 1 2 0.79 REF 3 0.43 +0.05 –0.07 0.41 +0.03 –0.06 1.27 NOM NNT 15.75 ±0.25 1 D Standard Branding Reference View = Supplier emblem N = Last three digits of device part number T = Temperature code A Dambar removal protrusion (6X) B Gate and tie bar burr area C Active Area Depth, 0.50 mm REF D Branding scale and appearance at supplier discretion E Hall element, not to scale Figure 4: Package UA, 3-Pin SIP 12 Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 www.allegromicro.com A1202 and A1203 Continuous-Time Bipolar Switch Family Revision History Revision Revision Date 17 May 24, 2012 18 January 1, 2015 19 September 22, 2015 Description of Revision Update LH package branding Added LX option to Selection Guide Corrected LH package Active Area Depth value; added AEC-Q100 qualification under Features and Benefits Copyright ©2015, Allegro MicroSystems, LLC Allegro MicroSystems, LLC reserves the right to make, from time to time, such departures from the detail specifications as may be required to permit improvements in the performance, reliability, or manufacturability of its products.
