The 2SA-10 is an integrated combination of a CMOS Hall circuit and a thin ferromagnetic disk. The CMOS circuit contains two pairs of Hall-elements for each of the two directions parallel with the chip surface X and Y. The ferromagnetic disk amplifies the external magnetic field and concentrates it on the Hall elements. The 2SA-10 is ideally suited for rotary position sensing in harsh automotive and industrial environments. It produces two linear, ratio-metric output voltages proportional to the sine and the cosine function of the angle of the applied magnetic field parallel to the chip surface. The circuit is fabricated using a standard CMOS process and the ferromagnetic disk is added in a simple post-processing step. The monolithic device incorporates Hall elements, offset cancellation circuitry, current source, chopper stabilized amplification circuitry, parameter programming capability. By dynamic offset cancellation any offset voltage caused by temperature variations, packaging stress or others is strongly reduced. As a result, the device has an extremely stable signal output, is immune to mechanical stress and is virtually immune to temperature cycling. Therefore, the circuit features a wide application range and very high accuracy.

Application examples are found in contactless angular sensors and encoders, in rotational switches, in brushless dc motors and in joysticks The 2SA-10 is applied in a way very similar to magnetoresistive GMR and AMR angular sensors by sensing the rotation of a magnetic field component parallel with the chip. However, the full integration of magnetic field sensor and programmable signal conditioning circuit of the 2SA-10 offers an exceptional cost effectiveness. Sentron’s 2SA-10 combines the advantage of a miniaturized angular sensor solution and simultaneously higher product performance and reliability. The features of high sensitivity, low offset and low temperature drift meets even the most demanding requirements across many industries. Absolute Angle Sensor The 2SA-10 is positioned under a rotating magnet mounted at the shaft end of a rotating axis. The magnet is magnetized diametrically, so that by rotating the shaft the field through the sensor also rotates. The generated voltages Vx and Vy of the 2SA-10 represent the sine and cosine of the magnetic field direction. Even though the signal amplitudes depend upon the vertical distance between sensor and magnet, the angle information, which is calculated by the ratio of Vx and Vy is not depending on this value. In this manner the angle sensor is very robust towards sensitivity temperature drift, magnet temperature drift and ageing effects as well as assembly tolerances.

The magnetization axis of the magnet is perpendicular to the sensor plane. When the magnet moves parallel to the plane, the magnetic field at the sensor rotates. The output signal Vx of the 2SA-10 behaves like X*B/r^2 and the output signal Vy like Y*B/r^2 with X and Y being the coordinates of the magnet with respect to the sensor, B being the field strength at the sensor and r being the distance between magnet and sensor. If the magnet now moves parallel to the x-axis, the coordinate Y is constant and the ratio Vx/Vy = X/const. is a very linear measure of the position of the magnet. Using a second 2SA-10 sensor the principle can be extended to very linear two-dimensional position sensing. 1.50 0.15 1.00 0.10 0.50 0.05 0.00 0.00 -0.50 -0.05 -0.10 -3.00 -2.00 -1.00 0.00 Vx Vy X/Y Linear (X/Y) 1.00 2.00 ratio Vx/Vy Output voltage [mV] Output Signals X- and Y-Axis 0.20 -1.00 -1.50 3.00 displacement X [mm] Position Sensor / Joystick The 2SA-10 is positioned in the rotation center of a joystick control handle, which holds a permanent magnet at its lower end. In centered position the field emanating from the magnet is exactly perpendicular to the chip surface and the sensor output is zero for X and Y. As soon as the stick is inclined, the sensor output becomes positive or negative on X and Y. The output signal is linear with the inclination angle for a range of about ± 30° of inclination Please contact us for documentation such as application notes, technical papers and others.
