A1454
3V Hall Effect Linear Sensor with I2C Output
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
• 1 mm thin (TSSOP-08) package
• 2 factory programmed sensitivity options: 2 LSB/G (for
fields up to ±1000 G) and 4 LSB/G (±500 G)
• Temperature-stable sensitivity for NdFeB and ferrite
magnets
• I2C interface for easy integration with support for up to
127 unique addresses
• EEPROM stores factory programmed settings and up to
16 bytes of user information (programmable through the
I2C interface)
• Micro-power sleep mode through I2C command for
minimizing power in battery-operated applications
• Precise recoverability after temperature cycling
• Wide ambient temperature range: –40°C to 125°C
• 12-bit ADC with 10-bit ENOB (Effective Number of
Bits)
The A1454 linear Hall effect sensor IC provides a 12-bit digital
output word that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic
field that is present. Its quiescent output value is at mid-scale, and
it comes in 2 different factory programmed sensitivity ranges:
2LSB/G & 4LSB/G. The sensitivity temperature coefficient
is also factory programmed to support either Neodymium or
Ferrite magnets. The A1454 incorporates an I2C interface for
easy integration into a wide variety of applications. The I2C
address can either be set by external resistors or programmed
via EEPROM, to support up to 127 unique I2C addresses,
allowing for multiple ICs on the same bus. It also includes 16
bytes of user programmable EEPROM.
Package: 8-Pin TSSOP (suffix LE)
The BiCMOS monolithic process allows the integration of
both high precision analog and high-density digital circuitry.
The A1454 integrates the Hall element, a 12-bit ADC, gain &
offset compensation circuitry, EEPROM memory and the I2C
interface on a single monolithic IC that is packaged in a space
saving surface mount package.
The A1454 I2C interface provides a user-controlled sleep input
command that puts the device in micro-power mode, which
reduces the current consumption of the A1454. This low power
feature makes the A1454 perfect for portable, battery-operated
applications.

Sleep Mode
The 1454 supports a sleep mode where numerous sub-systems
are powered. To enter sleep mode, the user sets the sleep control bit. To awake from sleep mode the user clears the sleep bit.
Since the I²C logic uses SCL as its clock source and the sleep bit
implemented in the SCL clock domain, the system clock does not
need to be operational for the sleep output to be cleared. Within
a period of about 50 µs after clearing the sleep bit, the system
clock will be operational, and the A1454 IC will respond to I2C
commands. Furthermore, within a period of about 150 µs after
clearing the sleep bit, the A1454 will be able to provide a digital
output that is fairly accurate, but not temperature compensated.
Lastly, within a period of about 500 µs after clearing the sleep bit,
the A1454 will be able to provide an output value that is accurate
to within the device accuracy specifications.
Therefore, a design trade-off can be made between wake-up
time, and accuracy of output, based on the specific system-level
requirements.

3V Hall Effect Linear Sensor with I2C Output
CHARACTERISTIC DEFINITIONS
Active Mode Response Time
I2C Interface
The Active Mode Response Time, tPACTIVE, is the time required
to settle internal voltages with an applied magnetic field, after
either VCC is above VCC(min), or the command to activate from
Sleep mode has been received. The I2C master can issue a command to activate the device from Sleep mode by clearing the
SLEEP bit (CR 0x04, D0). After the SLEEP bit has been cleared,
the device requires a finite time to power-on its internal components before accurately responding to an applied magnetic field.
(Note: When coming out of Sleep mode, the IC acts as if it is
being powered on. This means that all volatile registers are reset
to their default values, and those registers which can be programmed into EEPROM are reloaded with what is in EEPROM.)
This is a serial interface that uses two bus lines, SCL and SDA, to
access the internal control registers. Data is exchanged between a
microcontroller (master) and the A1454 (slave). The clock input
to SCL is generated by the master, while the SDA line functions
as either an input or an open drain output, depending on the direction of the data.
Maximum Applied Field
The A1454 device will be able to handle magnetic signals as
large as Bmax before internal amplifiers begin to saturate. Fields
above these values will result in uncertain device operation outside specification limits.
LINEAR SENSITIVITY ERROR
The A1454 is designed to provide a 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 Error is calculated separately for the positive (LinERRPOS) and negative (LinERRNEG) applied magnetic fields. Linearity
Error (%) is measured and defined as:
Sens
(1 – Sens
)× 100 (%)
Sens
= (1 –
)× 100 (%)
Sens
LinERRPOS =
BPOS2
BPOS1
LinERRNEG
BNEG2
BNEG1
where:
SensBx =
|VOUT(Bx) – VOUT(Q)|
Bx
and BPOSx and BNEGx are positive and negative magnetic fields,
with respect to the quiescent voltage output such that |BPOS2|
= 2 ×|BPOS1| and |BNEG2| = 2 ×|BNEG1|. In the above equation,
VOUT(Q) is the quiescent voltage output, and VOUT(Bx) is the Hall
voltage when the field, BX, is applied.
The I2C input thresholds depend on the VCC voltage of the
A1454. The threshold levels over the operating VCC range are
compatible with 3 V logic.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
I2C communication is composed of several steps in the following
sequence:
1. Start Condition. Defined by a negative edge on the SDA line,
while SCL is high.
2. Address Cycle. 7 bits of address, plus 1 bit to indicate write
(0) or read (1), and an acknowledge bit.
3. Data Cycles. Reading or writing 8 bits of data followed by an
acknowledge bit.
4. Stop Condition. Defined by a positive edge on the SDA line,
while SCL is high.
Except to indicate a Start or Stop condition, SDA must be stable
while the clock is high. SDA can only be changed while SCL is
low. It is possible for the Start or Stop condition to occur at any
time during a data transfer. The A1454 always responds by resetting the data transfer sequence.
The state of the Read/Write bit is set to 0 to indicate a write cycle
and set to 1 to indicate a read cycle.
The master monitors for an acknowledge pulse to determine if the
slave device is responding to the address byte sent to the A1454.
When the A1454 decodes the 7-bit address field as a valid
address, it responds by pulling SDA low during the ninth clock
cycle.
During a data write from the master, the A1454 pulls SDA low
during the clock cycle that follows the data byte, in order to indicate that the data has been successfully received.
After sending either an address byte or a data byte, the master
device must release the SDA line before the ninth clock cycle, in
order to allow the handshaking to occur.
Then:
LinERR = max(LinERRPOS , LinERRNEG)

A1454
3V Hall Effect Linear Sensor with I2C Output
I2C Command to Write to the A1454
A1454 acknowledges by transmitting a low to the master on the
SDA line.
The master controls the A1454 by programming it as a slave.
To do so, the master transmits data bits to the SDA input of the
A1454, in synchronization with the clocking signal the master
transmits simultaneously on the SCL input.
A complete transmission begins with the master pulling SDA low
(Start bit), and completes with the master releasing the SDA line
(Stop bit). As shown in figure 1, between these points, the master
transmits two address bytes, the first with the A1454 (chip)
address bits and a write command bit (D0 = 0) and the second
with the initial target register address, which are followed by the
data bytes. After every byte, regardless of byte payload, the slave

Multiple data bytes can be written by one I2C sequence, as shown
in Figure 2. After the slave acknowledges a data byte, instead of
sending a Stop bit, the master sends the next data byte. Only after
the final data byte is written and the slave acknowledges, does the
master provide a Stop bit. The A1454 automatically directs each
additional data byte to the next register, in order of regiter address
number. Note that only the initial register address is required.
This allows faster data entry, although it restricts data entry to
sequential registers. If non-sequential registers are to be written,
separate write commands can be sent.

Figure 2: I2C Write Operation
Customer Write Access
Before attempting to write to any of the serial registers or
EEPROM memory locations in the A1454, an access code must
be entered, to put the device in customer access mode. If customer access mode is configured, then no writes to the device
are allowed. The only exception this this is the SLEEP bit, which
can be written regardless of the access mode. Furthermore, any
register or EEPROM location can be read at any time regardless
of the access mode.
To enter either customer access mode, an access command needs
to be sent via the I2C interface. The command is simply a serial
write operation with the address and data values as shown in
Table 2. Once the access mode is set, it is not possible to change
the mode without power-cycling the device. There is no time
limit for entering the code.

A1454
3V Hall Effect Linear Sensor with I2C Output
I2C Command to Read from the A1454
address and the Read/Write bit set to read (D0 = 1).
This section applies to the reading of both volatile and nonvolatile EEPROM registers. The master can read back the register
values from the A1454. Similar to writing, the master transmits
data bits to the SDA input of the A1454, in synchronization with
the clocking signal the master transmits simultaneously on the
SCL input.
The A1454 then provides the data byte from the addressed regiter,
synchronized with the clock pulse supplied by the master (the
master must provide the clock pulses, as the A1454 slave does
not have the capability to generate them).
In Figure 3, the transmission is of the entire contents of a single
register location (bits 31:0). Optionally, the I²C master can
continue to acknowledge instead of issuing a ‘NACK’ and stopping. This will result in the transfer of data [31:24] from Reg
Address+1. The master can then continue acknowledging or issue
the not acknowledge/stop after any byte to stop receiving data.
Note that only the initial register address is required. This allows
faster data retrieval, although it restricts data retrieval to sequential registers. When the master provides non-acknowledge bit and
Stop bit, the A1454 stops sending data. If non-sequential registers
are to be read, separate read commands can be sent.
A complete transmission consists of a read command from the
master and a response from the A1454. It begins with the master
pulling SDA low (Start bit), and completes with the master
releasing the SDA line (Stop bit). As shown in Figure 3, between
these points, the master transmits two address bytes, the first with
the A1454 (chip) address bits and a write command bit (D0 = 0)
and the second with the initial source register address. After each
address byte, the slave A1454 acknowledges by transmitting a
low to the master on the SDA line. The master then issues another
Start bit (referred to as restart) followed by the same slave chip

A1454
3V Hall Effect Linear Sensor with I2C Output
I2C Address for the A1454
I2C command for writing to the volatile serial registers in the
A1454. Before attempting to write to EEPROM, please ensure
that the device is in Customer Access Mode. For more details see
the Customer Write Access section on page 7.
The default device address, in the case where VA0 and VA1 are
set to VCC, is given by binary 1101 111[0/1], where the last bit
determines if it is a read or a write instruction. For more options
on slave addressing for the A1454, refer to the section: I2C
Device (Slave) Address Coding.
A complete transmission begins with the master pulling SDA
low (Start bit), and completes with the master releasing the SDA
line (Stop bit). As shown in Figure 4, between these points, the
master transmits two address bytes, the first with the A1454
(chip) address bits and a write command bit (D0 = 0) and the second with the initial target EEPROM register address, which are
followed by the data bytes. After every byte, regardless of byte
payload, the slave A1454 acknowledges by transmitting a low to
the master on the SDA line.
EEPROM Functionality
The on-chip EEPROM is divided into eight rows, each thirty two
bits long, with six of the MSBs being used for EEPROM ECC.
On power-up, all registers in EEPROM address 0x03 to 0x07
are loaded into the volatile registers which shadow them. For
example, EE address 0x03 is loaded into registers 0x0C. The user
can overwrite these volatile registers, and they will be reset to the
values in the EEPROM only on a power cycle of the IC.
The 1454 always writes one entire EEPROM row at a time. As
shown in Figure 4. After the slave acknowledges a data byte, the
master sends the next data byte. Only after the final data byte is
written and the slave acknowledges, does the master provide a
Stop bit. The A1454 now takes these 4 data bytes and writes them
to the requested register address. It takes the EEPROM 30 ms to
perform the write command. After such time, the host can issue
the next I2C EEPROM write command, if desired.
Programming EEPROM Blocks
Programming of the EEPROM is done through the I2C interface.
Each row of EEPROM can only be written 1000 times. The I2C
command for writing to EEPROM is very similar to the general

EEPROM Memory Check
The EEPROM Memory Check provides the capability to vary
the EEPROM reference voltages and compare the data from each
reference voltage, to ensure that no EEPROM memory cells are
corrupted. A high reference voltage is used ensure that 1’s are
correctly programmed and a low reference voltage is used to
ensure that the 0’s are correctly programmed.
The Tables 6 and 7 describe the features available in customer
accessible register EEPROM Check.

EEPROM Customer Space
Register 0x02 (Bits 25:0) are available as customer EEPROM
space. This memory location is intended to be utilized by the user
for storing information, such as factory time stamps, lot numbers,
version numbers, and so forth. This registers is not shadowed,
and so must be written 4 bytes at a time, as described in the
Programming EEPROM section (second method). Also, as with
all the EEPROM registers, these registers can only be written to
1000 times.
