A6850 Dual Channel Switch Interface IC Features and Benefits Description ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ The Allegro® A6850 is designed to interface between a microprocessor and a pair of 2-wire Hall effect sensor ICs. The A6850 uses protected high-side low resistance DMOS MOSFETs to switch the supply voltage to the two Hall effect devices. Each switch can be controlled independently via individual ENABLE pins and both switches are protected with current-limiting circuitry. The output switches are rated to operate to 26.5 V and will source at least 25 mA per channel before current limiting. 4.75 to 26.5 V operation Low VIN-to-VOUT voltage drop 1/ current sense feedback 10 Survive short-to-battery and short-to-ground faults Survive 40 V load dump >4 kV ESD rating on the output pins, >2 kV on all other pins Output current limiting Low operating and Sleep mode currents Integrates with Allegro A114x and A118x Hall effect two-wire sensor ICs Typical two-wire Hall device applications require the user to measure the supply current to determine whether the Hall IC is switched on (magnetic field present) or switched off (no magnetic field present). This is usually accomplished by using an external series shunt resistor and protection circuits for the microprocessor. In many systems, the sensed voltage is used as the input to a microprocessor analog-to-digital (A-to-D) input. This provides the system with an indication of the status of the two-wire switch as well as provides the capability for diagnostic information if there is an open or shorted Hall device.

Putting sense resistors, RSENSE , from these pins to ground will create a voltage that can be read by an ADC (analog-to-digital converter). The value of RSENSE should be chosen so that the voltage drop across the sense resistor (VRSENSE) does not exceed the maximum voltage rating of the ADC. For further protection of the ADC, an external clamping circuit, such as a Zener diode, can be used to clamp any transient current spikes that may occur on the output that would be translated onto the SENSE pins. Overvoltage Protection The A6850 has built-in overvoltage protection against a load dump on the supply bus. In the case of a load dump, or when VIN is connected to the battery supply bus and VIN rises above the overvoltage threshold, VOVP , the A6850 will shut off the outputs. The sense current is one tenth of the output current, plus an offset current. This offset current is consistent across the whole range of the output current. The sense current can be calculated by the following formula: When enabling an output, the part must first come out of sleep mode. Consequently, the wake-up time amounts to a propagation delay before the outputs turn on. Also, the ENABLE pins do not switch with hysteresis until the regulators stabilize. ISENSEx = (IOUTPUTx / 10) + ISENSE(ofs) . (1) The sense resistor must also be chosen to meet the voltage limits on the sense pin (see Electrical Characteristics table). Sleep Mode Low-leakage or sleep modes are required in automotive applications to minimize battery drain when the vehicle is parked. The A6850 enters sleep mode when both ENABLE pins are low. In sleep mode, the internal regulators and all other internal circuitry are disabled. After the internal regulators stabilize, internal circuitry is enabled and the outputs turn on, as shown in figure 3. As long as one ENABLE pin is held high, the A6850 operates with hysteresis. Output Current Limit The A6850 limits the output current to a maximum current of IOUTPUTM. The output current will remain at the current limit until the output load is reduced or the A6850 goes into thermal shutdown. The high output current limit allows the bypass capacitor, CBYP , on the Hall sensor IC to charge up quickly. This allows a high slew rate on the VCC pin of the Hall sensor IC, ensuring that the sensor IC Power-On State will be correct. See the Applications Information section for schematic diagrams and power calculations. Output Faults The A6850 withstands short-to-ground or short-to-battery of the OUTPUTx pins. In the case of short-to-ground, current is held to the current limit (IOUTPUTM). If VOUTPUTx > (VIN + 0.7 V) during a short-to-battery event, the A6850 monitors VOUTPUTx and disables the outputs. Because the protection circuitry requires a finite amount of time to disable the outputs, a bypass capacitor of 1 μF is necessary on VIN. Although OUTPUTx sinks current into the A6850 in this state, the reverse current is shunted to ground and does not appear on the VIN pin. ENABLE VENABLEL > tON RegOk VREG OUTPUT Figure 3.

The transfer characteristic can be considered that of a low pass filter. The response time definitions are given in figures 1 and 2, in the Characteristic Performance section. The rise time response is dependent on the effective capacitance loading on the SENSEx pin. The RC time constant, , can be estimated using: = RSENSEx (90 + CSENSE) (2) where RSENSEx is in kΩ and CSENSE is in pF; the result will be in ns. The 10% to 90% rise time, trLH , may be estimated from: trLH= 2.2 × When a capacitor is added in parallel with the signal source connected to an OUTPUTx pin, additional allowance must be made for settling time caused by the inrush current needed to recharge a partially, or fully discharged, capacitor which has decayed during the disabled period. During this time the current required may reach IOUTPUTM, the current limit value for the OUTPUTx pins. The effects will be most noticeable on a SENSEx pin and will usually cause a signal overshoot as shown as tENsettle in figure 4. Thermal Shutdown (TSD) The A6850 protects itself from excessive heat damage by disabling both outputs when the junction temperature, TJ , rises above the TSD threshold (TTSD). The outputs will remain off until the junction temperature falls below the TTSD level minus the TSD hysteresis, TTSDhys. (3) The small signal low pass filter bandwidth based on a single pole response may be estimated using: BW= 350 / trLH (4) The result is in MHz when trLH is in ns. If the values of trLH and tfHL are significantly different then a better estimate may be given by: BW= 700 / (trLH + tfHL ) (5) The result is in MHz when trLH and tfHL are in ns. Each signal channel may be enabled or disabled individually via their respective ENABLEx pins, as shown in table 1. ENABLEx 50% 0 mA OUTPUTx tENdlyLH Table 1.

To calculate PD: PD = VIN IINQ Example: Calculating the power dissipation and temperature rise, given: TA = 25°C , (6) VIN = 5 V , – VOUTPUT1 IOUTPUT1 – VOUTPUT2 IOUTPUT2 IINQ = 5 mA , – VSENSE1 ISENSE1 – VSENSE2 ISENSE2 . PD = VIN IINQ (7) ISENSEx = IOUTPUTx /10 = 1.5 mA , + (VIN – VOUTPUT1 ) IOUTPUT1 RSENSE1 = RSENSE2 = 2 kΩ , and + (VIN – VOUTPUT2 ) IOUTPUT2 IOUTPUTx × RDS(on) = 15 × 35 = 525 mV = VIN – VOUTPUTx . + (VIN – VSENSE1) ISENSE1 Then: + (VIN – VSENSE2) ISENSE2 . PD = 5 V × 5 mA When IOUTPUTx × RDS(on) < approximately 700 mV, then: + 0.525 V×15 mA+[5 V – (1.5 mA×2 kΩ)]×1.5 mA (VIN – VOUTPUTx ) = IOUTPUTx × RDS(on) . + 0.525 V×15 mA+[5 V – (1.5 mA×2 kΩ)]×1.5 mA When IOUTPUTx × RDS(on) > approximately 700 mV, then: = 46.75 mW . IOUTPUTx = IOUTPUT (max) , and VOUTPUTx is set by the loading on the OUTPUTx pin. The temperature rise of the A6850 can be calculated by multiplying PD and the thermal resistance from junction to ambient, RθJA . The formula for temperature rise, ΔT, is: IOUTPUT1 = IOUTPUT2 = 15 mA , ΔT = PD × RθJA . (8) The RθJA for an 8-pin SOIC (Allegro L package) on a one-layer board with minimum copper area is 140 °C/W. (More thermal data is available on the Allegro MicroSystems website.) Substituting in equation 8: ΔT = 46.75 mW × 140 °C/W = 6.5°C . Substituting in equation 9: TJ = 25°C + 6.5°C = 31.5°C . The total junction temperature can be calculated by: TJ = TA + ΔT , (9) where TA is the ambient air temperature.

The current is then limited to: IOUTPUT1 = VIN / (35 + RSERIES) = 12 V / 1035 Ω For example, to calculate the power dissipation in the A6850 driving two mechanical switches with 1 kΩ series resistors, with VIN = 12 V, assume that the current limit for each of the outputs is set to the maximum value, IOUTPUTM (max) = 45 mA. When the mechanical switch is closed without a series resistor, the A6850 will be at the current limit. The full 12 V of the power supply will drop across the A6850 at 45mA The power dissipation for one mechanical switch closed would be: PD1 = VDrop1 × IOUTPUT1 = 12 V × 45 mA = 540 mW (7) = 11.59 mA VDrop1 = 35 × IOUTPUT1 (8) = 405.7 mV The power dissipation in the A6850 from this switch is much lower: PD1 = VDrop1 × IOUTPUT1 (6) (9) = 0.4057 V × 11.3 mA = 4.58 mW VCC or VBAT VCC VIN Digital Output Digital Output 1 µF 1 ENABLE1 3 ENABLE2 5 VIN OUTPUT1 8 Wiring Harness RSERIES A6850 Controller Input1 Input2 2 SENSE1 4 SENSE2 OUTPUT2 GROUND RSENSE1 RSENSE2 6 RSERIES 7 Figure 6.

The scheme shown in figure 9 illustrates possible supply decoupling and signal filtering options. The selection of protection and filtering component values will depend on the details of the final application. The A6850 must be protected with a suitable bypass capacitor to prevent transients entering VIN. The capacitor should be as close to the VIN and GND pins as feasible. A pi-filter placed between the OUTPUTx pins and the sensor IC has been shown to demonstrate excellent performance in normal automotive Bulk Cable Injection (BCI) testing. However, component selection and layout as well as cable specification and placement must be tailored to the individual application. EMC results should be validated. 1 μF 100 Ω VIN OUTPUT1 ENABLE1 1000 pF ENABLE2 VBAT 1 0.1 μF A6850 Hall Device SENSE1 SENSE2 2 OUTPUT2 GROUND Figure 9.
