The Allegro A1304 linear Hall effect sensor IC has been designed specifically to achieve both goals. This temperature-stable device is available in a miniature surface mount package (SOT23-W). This ratiometric Hall effect sensor provides a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field and features a quiescent voltage output of 50% of the supply voltage. Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element, offset and sensitivity trim circuitry to correct for the variation in the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, and a proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique. The A1304 sensor IC is available in a 3-pin surface mount SOT-23W style package (LH suffix). The package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Power On Time, tPO , is defined as the time it takes for the output voltage to begin responding to an applied magnetic field after the power supply has reached its minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min), as shown in Figure 1. Sens = VOUT(B+) – VOUT(B–) (2) (B+) – (B–) where B+ is the magnetic flux density in a positive field (south polarity) and B– is the magnetic flux density in a negative field (north polarity). Quiescent Voltage Output In the quiescent state (no significant magnetic field: B = 0 G), the output, VOUT(Q), is at a constant ratio to the supply voltage, VCC, across the entire operating ranges of VCC and Operating Ambient Temperature, TA. Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient The device sensitivity changes as temperature changes, with respect to its Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient, TCSENS. TCSENS is defined as: Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Across Temperature Range Due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, the Quiescent Voltage Output, VOUT(Q), may drift due to temperature changes within the Operating Ambient Temperature, TA. For purposes of specification, the Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Across Temperature Range, ∆VOUT(Q) (mV), is defined as: where T1 is the baseline Sens programming temperature of 25°C, and T2 is the sensitivity at another temperature. ∆VOUT(Q) = VOUT(Q)(TA) –VOUT(Q)(25°C) V SensIDEAL(TA) = SensT1 × [100 (%) + TCSENS (TA –T1)] (4) Linearity Sensitivity Error The A1304 is designed to provide linear output in response to a ramping applied magnetic field. Consider two magnetic fields, B1 and B2. Ideally, the sensitivity of a device is the same for both fields, for a given supply voltage and temperature. Linearity error is present when there is a difference between the sensitivities measured at B1 and B2. Linearity Sensitivity Error, LINERR , is calculated separately for positive (LinERR+) and negative (LinERR– ) applied magnetic fields. LINERR (%) is measured and defined as: VCC VOUT 90% VOUT VCC(min) t1 t2 tPO t1= time at which power supply reaches minimum specified operating voltage t2= time at which output voltage settles within ±10% of its steady state value under an applied magnetic field 0 (%/°C) (3) The ideal value of Sens across the full ambient temperature range, SensIDEAL(TA), is defined as: (1) Sensitivity The amount of the output voltage change is proportional to the magnitude and polarity of the magnetic field applied. This proportionality is specified as the magnetic sensitivity, Sens (mV/G), of the device and is defined as: VCC(typ) 1 SensT2 – SensT1 TCSens = 100 × SensT1 T2–T1 Sens(B+)(2) × 100 LinERR+ = 1– Sens(B+)(1) (%) Sens(B–)(2) × 100 LinERR– = 1– Sens(B–)(1) (%) (5) where: SensBx = |VOUT(Bx) – VOUT(Q)| Bx (6) +t Figure 1: Def inition of Power On Time, tPO Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com 5 Linear Hall-Effect Sensor IC with Analog Output, Available in a Miniature, Low Profile Surface Mount Package A1304 and Bx are positive and negative magnetic fields, with respect to the quiescent voltage output, such that |B(+)(2)| > |B(+)(1)| and |B(–)(2)| > |B(–)(1)| The effective linearity error is: LinERR = max(|LinERR+| , |LinERR– |) (7) The saturation of the output at VSAT(HIGH) and VSAT(LOW) will limit the operating magnetic range of the applied field in which the device provides a linear output. The maximum positive and negative applied magnetic fields in the operating range can be calculated: BMAX(+) = BMAX(–) = or decreases by a certain percentage, each characteristic also increases or decreases by the same percentage. Error is the difference between the measured change in the supply voltage relative to 3.3 V, and the measured change in each characteristic. The ratiometric error in quiescent voltage output, RatVOUT(Q) (%), for a given supply voltage, VCC, is defined as: VOUT(Q)(VCC) / VOUT(Q)(3.3V) × 100 RatVOUT(Q) = 1– VCC / 3.3 (V) VOUT(Q) – VSAT(LOW) (8) Sens Ratiometry Error The A1304 provides ratiometric output. This means that the Quiescent Voltage Output, VOUT(Q) , and the magnetic sensitivity, Sens, are proportional to the supply voltage, VCC. In other words, when the supply voltage increases (9) The ratiometric error in magnetic sensitivity, RatSens (%), for a given supply voltage, VCC, is defined as: Sens(VCC) / Sens(3.3V) × 100 (%) RatSens = 1– VCC / 3.3 (V) VSAT(HIGH) – VOUT(Q) Sens (%) (10) VCC Ramp Time The time taken for VCC to ramp from 0 V to VCC(typ), 3.3 V (see figure 3). VCC Off Level For applications in which the VCC pin of the A1304 is being power-cycled (for example using a multiplexer to toggle the part on and off), the specification of VCC Off Level, VCCOFF , determines how high a VCC off voltage can be tolerated while still ensuring proper operation and startup of the device (see Figure 3).

The undervoltage lockout feature provides a hysteresis of operation to eliminate indeterminate output states. The output of the A1304 is held low (GND) until VCC exceeds the VCC rising UVLO reset threshold. After that , the device VOUT output is enabled, providing a ratiometric output voltage that is proportional to the input magnetic signal and VCC . If VCC should drop back down below the VCC falling UVLO trip threshold after the device is powered up, the output would be pulled low (see Figure 4) until VCC rising UVLO reset threshold is reached again and VOUT would be reenabled.

This voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall sensor IC. 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. Allegro employs a patented technique to remove 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 spectrum at base band, 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. In addition to the removal of the thermal and mechanical stress related offset, this novel technique also reduces the amount of thermal noise in the Hall sensor IC while completely removing the modulated residue resulting from the chopper operation. The chopper stabilization technique uses a high frequency sampling clock. For demodulation process, a sample and hold technique is used. 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 high-density logic integration and sampleand-hold circuits.
