MULTIPLEXED TWO-WIRE
HALL-EFFECT SENSOR ICs
The A3054KU and A3054SU Hall-effect sensors are digital magnetic sensing ICs capable of communicating over a two-wire power/
signal bus. Using a sequential addressing scheme, the device responds to a signal on the bus and returns the diagnostic status of the
IC, as well as the status of each monitored external magnetic field.
As many as 30 sensors can function on the same two-wire bus. This
IC is ideal for multiple sensor applications where minimizing the wiring
harness size is desirable or essential.

Each device consists of high-resolution bipolar Hall-effect switching circuitry, the output of which drives high-density CMOS logic
stages. The logic stages decode the address pulse and enable a
response at the appropriate address. The combination of magneticfield or switch-status sensing, low-noise amplification of the Halltransducer output, and high-density decoding and control logic is made
possible by the development of a new sensor DABiC™ (digital analog
bipolar CMOS) fabrication technology. The A3054SU is an improved
replacement for the original UGN3055U.
These unique magnetic sensing ICs are available in two temperature ranges; the A3054SU operates within specifications between
-20°C and +85°C, while the A3054KU is rated for operation between
-40°C and +125°C. Alternative magnetic and temperature specifications are available on special order. Both versions are supplied in
0.060" (1.54 mm) thick, three-pin plastic SIPs. Each device is clearly
marked with a two-digit device address (XX).

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Sensor Address
Each bus sensor has a factory-specified predefined
address. At present, allowable sensor addresses are
integers from 01 to 30.
LOW-to-HlGH Clock Threshold (VCLH)
Minimum voltage required during the positive-going
transition to increment the bus address and trigger a
diagnostic response from the bus sensors. This is also
the maximum threshold of the on-chip comparator that
monitors the supply voltage, VBUS.
HlGH-to-LOW Threshold (VHL)
Maximum voltage required during the negative-going
transition to trigger a signal current response from the bus
sensors. This is also the maximum threshold of the
on-chip comparator that monitors the supply voltage,
VBUS.
Bus HIGH Voltage (VH)
Bus HIGH voltage during addressing. Voltage should
be greater than VCLH.
Address LOW Voltage (VL)
Bus LOW voltage during addressing. Voltage should
be greater than VRST and less than VCHL .
Bus Reset Voltage (VRST)
Voltage level while resetting sensors.
Sensor Quiescent Current Drain (IQ)
The current drain of bus sensors when active but not
addressed. IQH is the quiescent current drain when the
sensor is not addressed and is at VH IQL is the quiescent
current drain when the sensor is not addressed and is at
VL. Note that IQL is greater than IQH .
Diagnostic Phase
Period on the bus when the address voltage is at VH .
During this period, a correctly addressed sensor responds
by increasing its current drain on the bus. This response
from the sensor is called the diagnostic response and
the bus current increase is called the diagnostic current.
Signal Phase
Period on the bus when the address voltage is at VL.
During this period, a correctly addressed sensor that
detects a magnetic field greater than the magnetic operate point, BOP , responds by maintaining a current drain of
IS on the bus. This response from the sensor is called the
signal response and the bus current is called the signal
current.
Sensor Address Response Current (IS )
Sensor current during the diagnostic and the signal
responses of the bus sensor. This is accomplished by
enabling an internal constant-current source.
3054

TWO-WIRE
HALL-EFFECT SENSOR ICs
ADDRESSING PROTOCOL
Magnetic Operate Point (BOP )
Minimum magnetic field required to switch ON the
Hall amplifier and switching circuitry of the addressed
sensor. This circuitry is only active when the sensor is
addressed.
Magnetic Release Point (BRP)
Magnetic field required to switch OFF the Hall
amplifier and switching circuitry after the output has been
switched ON. When a device is deactivated by changing
the bus address, all magnetic memory is lost.
Magnetic Hysteresis (BHYS)
Difference between the BOP and B RP magnetic field
thresholds.
A device may be addressed by changing the supply
voltage as shown in Figure 1. A preferred addressing
protocol is as follows: the bus supply voltage is brought
low (<2.5 V) so that all devices on the bus are reset. The
voltage is then raised to the address LOW voltage (VL) and
the bus quiescent current is measured. The bus is then
toggled between VL and V H (address HIGH voltage), with
each positive transition representing an increment in the
bus address. After each voltage transition, the bus current
may be monitored to check for diagnostic and signal
responses from sensor ICs.
Sensor Addressing
When a sensor detects a bus address equal to its
factory-programmed address, it responds with an increase
in its supply current drain ( IS) during the next HIGH portion

Bus Current
Figure 1 shows the addressing protocol.
The top trace represents the bus voltage
transitions as controlled by the bus driver
(see Applications Notes for an optimal bus
driver schematic). The second trace represents the bus current contribution of Sensor
02. The diagnostic response from the sensor
indicates that it detected its address on the
bus. However, no signal current is shown,
which indicates that sufficient magnetic field
is not detected at the chip surface and that
pin 3 is open circuited. The third trace
represents the current drain of Sensor 03
when a magnetic field is detected. Note both
the diagnostic and signal currents from the
sensor. The last trace represents the overall
bus current drain. When no sensors are
addressed, the net bus current is the sum of
quiescent currents of all sensors on the bus
(for 'n' sensors, the bus current drain is
n • IQ).
Bus Issues
After a reset, while at the address LOW
voltage (VL), and before the first address
pulse, bus current calibration may be performed. This feature allows for fail-safe
detection of signal current and eliminates
detection problems caused by low signal
current (IS), the operation of sensors at
various ambient temperatures, lot-to-lot
variation of quiescent current, and the
addition or replacement of sensors to the bus
while in the field. At present, a maximum of
30 active sensors can coexist on the same
bus, each with a different address. Address

ofthe address cycle. This response may be
used as an indication that the sensor is "alive
and well" on the bus and is called the diagnostic response. If the sensor detects an
ambient magnetic field, it continues with IS
during the low portion of the address cycle.
This response from the sensor is called the
signal response. When the next positive
(address) transition is detected, the sensor
becomes disabled, and its contribution to the
bus signal current returns to IQ.

31 is designed to be inactive to allow for
further address expansion of the bus (to 62
maximum addresses). In order to repeat the
address cycle, the bus must be reset, as
shown in Figure 1, by bringing the supply
voltage to below VRST. Sensors have been
designed not to ‘wrap-around’.
Magnetic Sensing
The sensor IC has been designed to
respond to an external magnetic field whose
magnetic strength is greater than BOP. It
accomplishes this by amplifying the output of
an on-chip Hall transducer and applying it to
a threshold detector. In order that bus
current is kept to a minimum, the transducer
and amplification circuitry is kept powered
down until the sensor is addressed. Hence,
the magnetic status is evaluated only when
the sensor is addressed.
External Switch Sensing
Pin 3 of the IC may be used to detect the
status of an external switch when magnetic
field sensing is not desired (and in the
absence of a magnetic field). The allowable
states for the switch are ‘open’ or ‘closed’
(shorted to sensor ground).
APPLICATIONS NOTES
Magnetic Actuation
The left side of Figure 2 shows the wiring of an A3054KU or
A3054SU when used as a magnetic threshold detector. Pin 1 of the
sensor is wired to the positive terminal of the bus, pin 2 is connected to
the bus negative terminal, and pin 3 has no connection.
Mechanical Actuation
The right side of Figure 2 shows the wiring of an A3054KU or
A3054SU when used to detect the status of a mechanical switch.
In this case, pin 3 is connected to the switch. The other side of the
switch is connected to the bus return (negative bus supply or ground).
When the mechanical switch is closed, and the correct bus address is
detected by the IC, the sensor responds with a signal current. If the
switch is open, only the diagnostic current is returned.
Bus Configuration
A maximum of 30 individually addresable sensors may be connected across the same two-wire bus as shown in Figure 3. It is
recommended that the sensors use a dedicated digital ground wire to
minimize the effects of changing ground potential (as in the case of
chassis ground in the automotive industry).
The bus was not designed to require two-wire twisted pair wiring to
the sensors. However, in areas of extreme electromagnetic interference, it may be advisable to install a small bypass capacitor (0.01 µF
for example) between the supply and ground terminals of each sensor
instead of using the more expensive wiring.

HALL-EFFECT SENSOR ICs
Bus Driver
It is recommended that the bus be controlled
by microprocessor-based hardware for the
following reasons:
• Sensor address information may be stored
in ROM in the form of a look-up table.
• Bus faults can be pinpointed by the
microprocessor by comparing the diagnostic response to the expected response in
the ROM look-up table.
• The microprocessor, along with an A/D
converter, can also be used to self calibrate the quiescent currents in the bus and
hence be able to easily detect a signal
response.
• The microprocessor can also be used to filter out random line noise
by digitally filtering the bus responses.
• The microprocessor can easily keep track of the signal responses
and initiate the appropriate action (e.g., light a lamp or sound an
alarm, and also pinpoint the location of the signal).
Optimally, the microprocessor is used to control bus-driving
circuitry that will accept TTL-level inputs to drive the bus and will return
an analog voltage representation of the bus current.
Interface Schematic
The bus driver is easily designed using a few operational amplifiers, resistors, and transistors. Figure 4 shows a schematic of a
recommended bus driver circuit that is capable of providing 6 V to 9 V
transitions, resetting the bus, and providing an analog measurement of
the bus current for the A/D input of the microprocessor.

In Figure 4, the ADDRESS input provides a TTL-compatible input
to control the bus supply. A HIGH (5 V) input switches Q1 ON and sets
the bus voltage to 6 V through the resistor divider R4, R5, and Zener
Z1. A LOW input switches Q1 OFF and sets the bus voltage to 9 V
(Z1). This voltage is fed into the positive input of the operational
amplifier OP1 and is buffered and made available at BUS SUPPLY (or
sensor supply). Bus reset control is also available in the form of a TTLcompatible input. When the RESET input is HIGH, Q2 is switched ON
and the positive input of the operational amplifier is set to the saturation voltage of the transistor (approximately 0 V). This resets the bus.
A linear reading of the bus current is made possible by amplifying
the voltage generated across R6 (which is IBUS • R6). The amplifier,
OP2, is a standard differential amplifier of gain R9/R7 (provided that R7
= R8, R9 = R10). The gain of the total transim-pedance amplifier is
given by:
VOUT = IBUS • R6 • R9/R 7
This voltage is available at the ANALOG OUT terminal.
Bus Control Software
The processing of the bus current (available at ANALOG OUT) is
best done by feeding it into the A/D input of a microprocessor. If the
flexibility provided by a microprocessor is not desired, this signal could
be fed into threshold detection circuitry; e.g., comparator, and the
output used to drive a display.
