A1363
Low Noise, High Precision, Programmable Linear Hall Effect Sensor IC
With Advanced Temperature Compensation and High Bandwidth (120 kHz) Analog Output
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Proprietary segmented linear interpolated temperature
compensation (TC) technology provides a typical
accuracy of 1% across the full operating temperature
range
• Customer programmable, high resolution offset and
sensitivity trim
• Factory programmed sensitivity and quiescent
output voltage TC with extremely stable temperature
performance
• High sensitivity Hall element for maximum accuracy
• Extremely low noise and high resolution achieved via
proprietary Hall element and low noise amplifier circuits
• 120 kHz nominal bandwidth achieved via proprietary
packaging and chopper stabilization techniques
• Patented circuits suppress IC output spiking during fast
current step inputs
The Allegro™ A1363 programmable linear Hall-effect
current sensor IC has been designed to achieve high accuracy
and resolution without compromising bandwidth. The goal
is achieved through new proprietary linearly interpolated
temperature compensation technology that is programmed
at the Allegro factory and provides sensitivity and offset that
are virtually flat across the full operating temperature range.
Temperature compensation is done in the digital domain with
integrated EEPROM technology, without sacrificing the analog
signal path 120 kHz bandwidth, making this device ideal for
HEV inverter, DC-to-DC converter, and electric power steering
(EPS) applications.
This ratiometric Hall-effect sensor IC provides a voltage output
that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The customer
can conFigure the sensitivity and quiescent (zero field) output
voltage through programming on the VCC and output pins, to
optimize performance in the end application. The quiescent
output voltage is user-adjustable around 50% of the supply
voltage, VCC , and the output sensitivity is adjustable within
the range of 0.6 to 14 mV/G.

CHARACTERISTIC DEFINITIONS
Power-On Time (tPO)
When the supply is ramped to its operating voltage, the device
requires a finite time to power its internal components before
responding to an input magnetic field.
Power-On Time, tPO , is defined as: the time it takes for the output
voltage to settle within ±10% of its steady state value under an
applied magnetic field, after the power supply has reached its
minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min), as shown in
Figure 1.

The time interval between a) when the sensor IC reaches 10% of
its final value, and b) when it reaches 90% of its final value (see
Figure 2). Both tr and tRESPONSE are detrimentally affected by
eddy current losses observed in the conductive IC ground plane.
Response Time (tRESPONSE)
The time interval between a) when the applied magnetic field
reaches 80% of its final value, and b) when the sensor reaches
80% of its output corresponding to the applied magnetic field
(see Figure 3).
Delay to Clamp (tCLP )
A large magnetic input step may cause the clamp to overshoot
its steady state value. The Delay to Clamp, tCLP , is defined as:
the time it takes for the output voltage to settle within ±1% of its
steady state value, after initially passing through its steady state
voltage, as shown in Figure 4.

Initial Unprogrammed Quiescent Voltage Output
( VOUT(Q)init )
Quiescent Voltage Output Programming Resolution
(ErrPGVOUT(Q) )
Before any programming, the Quiescent Voltage Output,
VOUT(Q) , has a nominal value of VCC / 2, as shown in Figure 5.
The programming resolution for any device is half of its programming step size. Therefore, the typical programming resolution will be:
Quiescent Voltage Output Programming Range
( VOUT(Q)PR )
The Quiescent Voltage Output, VOUT(Q) , can be programmed
within the Quiescent Voltage Output Range limits: VOUT(Q)PR
(min) and VOUT(Q)PR (max). Exceeding the specified Quiescent
Voltage Output Range will cause Quiescent Voltage Output Drift
Through Temperature Range ΔVOUT(Q)TC to deteriorate beyond
the specified values, as shown in Figure 5.
Average Quiescent Voltage Output Programming Step Size
(StepVOUT(Q))
The Average Quiescent Voltage Output Progamming Step Size,
StepVOUT(Q) , is determined using the following calculation:
StepVOUT(Q) =

Quiescent Voltage Output Temperature Coefficient

Device VOUT(Q) changes as temperature changes, with respect to
its programmed Quiescent Voltage Output Temperature Coefficient, TCQVO . TCQVO is programmed at 150°C, and calculated
relative to the nominal VOUT(Q) programming temperature of
25°C. TCQVO (mV/°C) is defined as:
TCQVO = [VOUT(Q)T2 – VOUT(Q)T1][1/(T2-T1)]
(3)
where T1 is the nominal VOUT(Q) programming temperature of
25°C, and T2 is the TCQVO programming temperature of 150°C.
The expected VOUT(Q) through the full ambient temperature
range, VOUT(Q)EXPECTED(TA) , is defined as:
VOUT(Q)EXPECTED(TA) = VOUT(Q)T1 + TCQVO(TA –T1)

The Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Through Temperature Range,
ΔVOUT(Q)TC , is defined as:

The presence of a south polarity magnetic field, perpendicular
to the branded surface of the package face, increases the output
voltage from its quiescent value toward the supply voltage rail.
The amount of the output voltage increase is proportional to the
magnitude of the magnetic field applied.
Initial Unprogrammed Sensitivity ( Sensinit )
Conversely, the application of a north polarity field decreases the
output voltage from its quiescent value. This proportionality is
specified as the magnetic sensitivity, Sens (mv/G), of the device,
and it is defined as:

has a different SENS_COARSE setting.
The magnetic sensitivity, Sens, can be programmed around its
initial value within the sensitivity range limits: SensPR(min) and
SensPR(max). Exceeding the specified Sensitivity Range will
cause Sensitivity Drift Through Temperature Range ΔSensTC to

where VCLP is either VCLP(HIGH) or VCLP(LOW).
Power-On Reset Voltage (VPOR )
On power-up, to initialize to a known state and avoid current
spikes, the A1363 is held in Reset state. The Reset signal is
disabled when VCC reaches VUVLOH and time tPORR has elapsed,
allowing output voltage to go from a high impedance state
into normal operation. During power-down, the Reset signal is
enabled when VCC reaches VPORL , causing output voltage to
go into a high impedance state. (Note that detailed description
of POR and UVLO operation can be found in the Functional
Description section).
Power-On Reset Release Time (tPORR)
When VCC rises to VPORH , the Power-On Reset Counter starts.
The A1363 output voltage will transition from a high impedance
state to normal operation only when the Power-On Reset Counter
has reached tPORR and VCC has exceeded VUVLOH .
Undervoltage Lockout Threshold (VUVLO )
If VCC drops below VUVLOL output voltage will be locked to
GND. If VCC starts rising A1363 will come out of Lock state
when VCC reaches VUVLOH .
UVLO Enable/Disable Delay Time (tUVLO )
When a falling VCC reaches VUVLOL , time tUVLOE is required
to engage Undervoltage Lockout state. When VCC rises above
VUVLOH , time tUVLOD is required to disable UVLO and have a
valid output voltage.
Output Saturation Voltage (VSAT )
When output voltage clamps are disabled, output voltage can
swing to a maximum of VSAT(HIGH) and to a minimum of
VSAT(LOW) .
Broken Wire Voltage (VBRK )
If the GND pin is disconnected (broken wire event), output voltage will go to VBRK(HIGH) (if a load resistor is connected to VCC)
or to VBRK(LOW) (if a load resistor is connected to GND).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Programming Sensitivity and Quiescent Voltage Output
Memory Locking Mechanisms
Sensitivity and VOUT(Q) can be adjusted by programming
SENS_FINE and QVO bits, as illustrated in Figures 8 and 9.
The A1363 is equipped with two distinct memory locking mechanisms:
Customers should not program sensitivity or VOUT(Q) beyond
the maximum or minimum programming ranges specified in the
Operating Characteristics table. Exceeding the specified limits
will cause sensitivity and VOUT(Q) drift through temperature
range, ΔSensTC and ΔVOUT(Q)TC , to deteriorate beyond the specified values.
DEFAULT LOCK
Programming sensitivity might cause a small drift in VOUT(Q) . As
a result, Allegro recommends programming sensitivity first, then
VOUT(Q) .
Coarse Sensitivity
Each A1363 variant is programmed to a different coarse sensitivity setting. Devices are tested and temperature compensation is
factory programmed under that specific coarse sensitivity setting.
If the coarse sensitivity setting is changed, by programming
SENS_COARSE bits, Allegro can not guarantee the specified
sensitivity drift through temperature range limits, ΔSensTC .
At power-up, all registers of the A1363 are locked by default.
EEPROM and volatile memory cannot be read or written. To
disable Default Lock, a very specific 30 bits customer access
code has to be written to address 0x24 within Access Code Time
Out, tACC = 8 ms, from power-up. At this point, registers can be
accessed. If VCC is power cycled, the Default Lock will automatically be re-enabled. This ensures that during normal operation,
memory content will not be altered due to unwanted glitches on
VCC or the output pin.
LOCK BIT
After EEPROM has been programmed by the customer, the
EELOCK bit can be set high and VCC power cycled to permanently disable the ability to read or write any register. This will
prevent the ability to disable Default Lock using the method
described above. Please note that after EELOCK bit is set high
and VCC pin power cycled, the customer will not have the ability
to clear the EELOCK bit or to read/write any register.

The descriptions in this section assume: temperature = 25°C, no

POWER-UP
At power-up, as VCC ramps up, the output is in a high impedance
state. When VCC crosses VPORH (location [1] in Figure 10 and [1']
in Figure 11), the POR Release counter starts counting for tPORR=
64 µs. At this point, if VCC exceeds VUVLOH = 4 V [2'], the output
will go to VCC / 2 after tUVLOD = 14 µs [3']. If VCC does not

to VCC / 2 after tUVLOD = 14 µs [4].
VCC DROPS BELOW VCC(MIN)= 4.5 V
If VCC drops below VUVLOL [4', 5], the UVLO Enable Counter starts counting. If VCC is still below VUVLOL when counter
reaches tUVLOE = 64 µs, the UVLO function will be enabled and
the ouput will be pulled near GND [6]. If VCC exceeds VUVLOL
before the UVLO Enable Counter reaches 64 µs [5'] , the output
will continue to be VCC / 2.

Chopper Stabilization Technique
When using Hall-effect technology, a limiting factor for total
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. 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 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 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. 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 a proprietary,
dynamic notch filter. The new Allegro filtering techniques are
far more effective at suppressing chopper induced signal noise
compared to the previous generation of Allegro chopper stabilized devices.

Programming Serial Interface
WRITING THE ACCESS CODE
The A1363 incorporates a serial interface that allows an external
controller to read and write registers in the EEPROM and volatile
memory. The A1363 uses a point-to-point communication protocol, based on Manchester encoding per G. E. Thomas (a rising
edge indicates 0 and a falling edge indicates 1), with address and
data transmitted MSB first.
In order for the external controller to write or read from the
A1363 memory during the current session, it must establish serial
communication with the A1363 by sending a Write command
including the Access Code within Access Code Time Out, tACC ,
from power-up. If this deadline is missed, all write and read
access is disabled until the next power-up.
TRANSACTION TYPES
WRITING TO VOLATILE MEMORY
Each transaction is initiated by a command from the controller;
the A1363 does not initiate any transactions. Three commands
are recognized by the A1363: Write Access Code, Write, and
Read. One response frame type is generated by the A1363, Read
Acknowledge. If the command is Read, the A1363 responds by
transmitting the requested data in a Read Acknowledge frame. If
the command is any other type, the A1363 does not acknowledge.
As shown in Figure 16, the A1363 receives all commands via the
VCC pin. It responds to Read commands via the VOUT pin. This
implementation of Manchester encoding requires the communication pulses be within a high (VMAN(H)) and low (VMAN(L)) range
of voltages for the VCC line and the VOUT line. The Write command to EEPROM is supported by two high voltage pulses on the
VOUT line.
In order for the external controller to write to volatile memory,
a Write command must be transmitted on the VCC pin. Successive Write commands to volatile memory must be separated by
tWRITE . The required sequence is shown in Figure 15.

WRITING TO EEPROM
In order for the external controller to write to non-volatile
EEPROM, a Write command must be transmitted on the VCC
pin. The controller must also send two Programming pulses,
long high-voltage strobes, via the VOUT pin. These strobes are
detected internally, allowing the A1363 to boost the voltage on
the EEPROM gates. The required sequence is shown in Figures
17 and 18.
To ensure EEPROM integrity over life time, EEPROM should
not be exposed to more than 100 Write cycles.
READING FROM EEPROM OR VOLATILE MEMORY
In order for the external controller to read from EEPROM or volatile memory, a Read command must be transmitted on the VCC
line. Within time tstart_read , the VOUT line will stop responding

to the magnetic field and the Read Acknowledge frame will be
transmitted on the VOUT line. The Read Acknowledge frame
contains Read data.
After the Read Acknowledge frame has been received from the
A1363, the VOUT line resumes normal operation after time
tREAD . The required sequence is shown in Figure 19.
ERROR CHECKING
The serial interface uses a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for
data-bit error checking (synchronization bits are ignored during
the check). The CRC algorithm is based on the polynomial g(x)
= x3 + x + 1 , and the calculation is represented graphically in
Figure 20. The trailing 3 bits of a message frame comprise the
CRC token. The CRC is initialized at 111. If the serial interface
receives a command with a CRC error, the command is ignored.

VCC LEVELS DURING MANCHESTER COMMUNICATION
For all devices with UVLO functionality, after power-up it is
important that the VCC pin be held at VCC until the first Synchronization pulse of a read/write transaction is sent (see Figure 22).
During the transaction, the VCC pin varies between VMAN(H)
and VMAN(L) , but right after the last CRC bit has been sent, the
controller must bring the VCC pin back to the VCC level in less
than tMAN_VCC . This is important in order to avoid triggering the
UVLO functionality during EEPROM read/write.

EEPROM CELL ORGANIZATION
Programming coefficients are stored in non-volatile EEPROM,
which is separate from the digital subsystem, and accessed by the
digital subsystem EEPROM Controller module. The EEPROM
is organized as 30 bit wide words, each word is made up of 24
data bits and 6 ECC (Error Checking and Correction) check bits,
stored as shown in table below.

EEPROM ERROR CHECKING AND CORRECTION (ECC)
DETECTING ECC ERROR
Hamming code methodology is implemented for EEPROM
checking and correction. The device has ECC enabled after
power-up.
If an uncorrectable error has occurred, bits 25:24 are set to 10, the
VOUT pin will go to a high impedance state, and the device will
not respond to the applied magnetic field. Output voltage will go
to VBRK(HIGH) if a load resistor RL(PULLUP) is connected to VCC
or to VBRK(LOW) if a load resistor RL(PULLDWN) is connected to
GND.
The device always returns 30 bits.
The message received from controller is analyzed by the device
EEPROM driver and ECC bits are added. The first 6 received bits
from device to controller are dedicated to ECC.
