Power-On Time 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). VCC VOUT(B+) – VOUT(B–) (2) B(+) – B(–) Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient The device sensitivity changes with temperature, with respect to its sensitivity temperature coefficient, TCSENS . TCSENS is programmed at 150°C, and calculated relative to the nominal sensitivity programming temperature of 25°C. TCSENS (%/°C) is defined as: VOUT 90% VOUT VCC(min.) 1 SensT2 – SensT1 TCSens = 100% × (3) SensT1 T2–T1 where T1 is the nominal Sens programming temperature of 25°C, and T2 is the TCSENS programming temperature of 150°C. tPO t1 Sens = where B(+) and B(–) are two magnetic fields with opposite polarities. V VCC(typ.) age from its quiescent value. This proportionality is specified as the magnetic sensitivity, Sens (mV/G), of the device and is defined as: t2 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 The ideal value of sensitivity through the temperature range, SensIDEAL(TA), is defined as: +t SensIDEAL(TA) = SensT1 × (100% + TCSENS(TA –T1) ) Quiescent Voltage Output In the quiescent state (that is, with no significant magnetic field: B = 0), the output, VOUT(Q) , equals a ratio of the supply voltage, VCC , throughout the entire operating range of VCC and the ambient temperature, TA . Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Through Temperature Range Due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, the quiescent voltage output, VOUT(Q) , may drift from its nominal value through the operating ambient temperature range, TA . For purposes of specification, the Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Through Temperature Range, ∆VOUT(Q) (mV), is defined as: ∆VOUT(Q) = VOUT(Q)TA – VOUT(Q)25°C (1) Sensitivity The presence of a south-polarity magnetic field perpendicular to the branded surface of the package 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. Conversely, the application of a north polarity field will decrease the output volt- (4) Sensitivity Drift Through Temperature Range Second order sensitivity temperature coefficient effects cause the magnetic sensitivity to drift from its ideal value through the operating ambient temperature, TA. For purposes of specification, the sensitivity drift through temperature range, ∆SensTC , is defined as: ∆SensTC = SensTA – SensIDEAL(TA) SensIDEAL(TA) × 100% (5) Sensitivity Drift Due to Package Hysteresis Package stress and relaxation can cause the device sensitivity at TA = 25°C to change during or after temperature cycling. This change in sensitivity follows a hysteresis curve. For purposes of specification, the Sensitivity Drift Due to Package Hysteresis, ∆SensPKG , is defined as: ∆SensPKG = Sens(25°C)2 – Sens(25°C)1 Sens(25°C)1 × 100% (6) where Sens(25°C)1 is the programmed value of sensitivity at Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com 5 A1324, A1325, and A1326 Linear Hall Effect Sensor ICs with Analog Output TA = 25°C, and Sens(25°C)1 is the value of sensitivity at TA = 25°C after temperature cycling TA up to 150°C, down to –40°C, and back to up 25°C. Symmetry Sensitivity Error The magnetic sensitivity of a device is constant for any two applied magnetic fields of equal magnitude and opposite polarities. Linearity Sensitivity Error The 132x 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 sensitivity error is present when there is a difference between the sensitivities measured at B1 and B2. Symmetry Error (%), is measured and defined as: Linearity Sensitivity Error is calculated separately for the positive (LINERR+) and negative (LINERR– ) applied magnetic fields. Linearity Sensitivity Error (%) is measured and defined as: SensB(++) × 100% LinERR+ = 1– SensB(+) SensB(– –) × 100% LinERR– = 1– SensB(–) (7) LinERR = max(| LinERR+| , |LinERR–| ) (8) |V – VOUT(Q)| SensBx = OUT(Bx) BX (9) SensB(+) × 100% SymERR = 1– SensB(–) (11) where SensBx is defined as in equation 9, and B(+), B(–) are positive and negative magnetic fields such that |B(+)| = |B(–)|. Ratiometry Error The A132x features a ratiometric output. This means that the quiescent voltage output, VOUT(Q) , magnetic sensitivity, Sens, and clamp voltages, VCLPHIGH and VCLPLOW , are proportional to the supply voltage, VCC. In other words, when the supply voltage increases 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 5 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: and where: and B(++), B(+), B(– –), and B(–) are positive and negative magnetic fields with respect to the quiescent voltage output such that |B(++)| > |B(+)| and |B(– –)| > |B(– )| .

This voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall 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 baseband, 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 stress related offset, this novel technique also reduces the amount of thermal noise in the Hall 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 highdensity logic integration and sample-and-hold circuits.
