The A1140, A1141, A1142, and A1143 devices are sensitive, two-wire, unipolar, Hall effect switches that are factory-programmed at end-of-line to optimize
magnetic switchpoint accuracy. These devices are produced on the Allegro
MicroSystems advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication process, which implements a
patented, high-frequency, chopper-stabilization technique that achieves magnetic
stability and eliminates the offsets that are inherent in single-element devices
exposed to harsh application environments. Commonly found in a number of
automotive applications, the A1140-43 family of devices are utilized to sense: seat
track position, seat belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift selector
position.
Two-wire unipolar switches are particularly advantageous in price-sensitive applications, because they require one less wire than the more traditional open-collector output switches. Additionally, the system designer gains inherent diagnostics
because output current normally flows in either of two narrowly-specified ranges.
Any output current level outside of these two ranges is a fault condition. The
A1140-43 family of devices also features on-chip transient protection, and a Zener
clamp to protect against overvoltage conditions on the supply line.
The output currents of the A1141 and A1143 switch HIGH in the presence of a south
polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength; and switch LOW otherwise, including
when there is no significant magnetic field present. The A1140 and A1142 have
inverted output current levels: switching LOW in the presence of a south polarity
magnetic field of sufficient strength, and HIGH otherwise. The devices also differ in
their specified LOW current supply levels.
All family members are offered in two package styles: SOT-23W, a miniature lowprofile package for surface-mount applications (suffix –LH), and TO-92, threelead ultra-mini Single Inline Package (SIP) for through-hole mounting
(suffix –UA).
Field-programmable versions are also available. Refer to: A1180, A1181, A1182,
and A1183.

Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall Effect Switches
Functional Description
Operation
The output, ICC, of the A1140 and A1142 devices switch low
after the magnetic field at the Hall sensor exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced to
below the release point threshold, BRP, the device output goes
high. The differences between the magnetic operate and release
point is called the hysteresis of the device, BHYS. This built-
I+
in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even in the
presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise.
The A1141 and A1143 devices switch with opposite polarity for
similar BOP and BRP values, in comparison to the A1140 and
A1142 (see figure 1).

Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall Effect Switches
Chopper Stabilization Technique
When using Hall-effect technology, a limiting factor for switchpoint 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, namely
dynamic quadrature offset cancellation, removes key sources
of the output drift induced by thermal and mechanical stresses.
This offset reduction technique is based on a signal modulationdemodulation 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 fieldinduced signal to recover its original spectrum at baseband, while
the dc offset becomes a high-frequency signal. The magneticsourced signal then can pass through a low-pass filter, while the
modulated dc offset is suppressed.
The chopper stabilization technique uses a 200 kHz high frequency clock. The chopping occurs on each clock edge, result-
ing in a 400 kHz chop frequency. 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
sample-and-hold circuits. This process is illustrated in figure 2.
The repeatability of magnetic field-induced switching is
affected slightly by a chopper technique. However, the Allegro
high-frequency chopping approach minimizes the affect of
jitter and makes it imperceptible in most applications. Applications that are more likely to be sensitive to such degradation
are those requiring precise sensing of alternating magnetic
fields; for example, speed sensing of ring-magnet targets. For
such applications, Allegro recommends its digital sensor families with lower sensitivity to jitter. For more information on
those devices, contact your Allegro sales representative.

Application Information
For additional general application information, visit the Allegro
MicroSystems Web site at www. allegromicro.com.
Typical Application Circuit
The A114x family of devices must be protected by an external
bypass capacitor, CBYP, connected between the supply, VCC,
and the ground, GND, of the device. CBYP reduces both external
noise and the noise generated by the chopper-stabilization function. As shown in figure 3, a 0.01 µF capacitor is typical.
V+
VCC
A114x
Installation of CBYP must ensure that the traces that connect it to
the A114x pins are no greater than 5 mm in length.
All high-frequency interferences conducted along the supply
lines are passed directly to the load through CBYP, and it serves
only to protect the A114x internal circuitry. As a result, the load
ECU (electronic control unit) must have sufficient protection,
other than CBYP, installed in parallel with the A114x.
A series resistor on the supply side, RS (not shown), in combination with CBYP, creates a filter for EMI pulses. (Additional
information on EMC is provided on the Allegro MicroSystems
Web site.)
When determining the minimum VCC requirement of the A114x
device, the voltage drops across RS and the ECU sense resistor,
RSENSE, must be taken into consideration. The typical value for
RSENSE is approximately 100 Ω.

Power Derating
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature of the device, TJ(max). 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
(1)
∆T = PD × RθJA
(2)
TJ = TA + ∆T
(3)
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) = 17 mA.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First,
invert equation 3:
∆Tmax = 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) = ∆Tmax ÷ RθJA = 15°C ÷ 165 °C/W = 91 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 91 mW ÷ 17 mA = 5 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.
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW
∆T = PD × RθJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C
TJ = TA + ∆T = 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.
