DESCRIPTION
The APS12205, APS12215, and APS12235 Hall-effect sensor
ICs are extremely temperature-stable and stress-resistant
devices especially suited for operation over extended junction
temperature ranges up to 175°C. Superior high-temperature
performance is made possible through dynamic offset
cancellation, which reduces the residual offset voltage normally
caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and
thermal stress.
The single silicon chip includes: a Hall plate, small signal
amplifier, chopper stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and a short-
circuit-protected open-drain output. A south pole of sufficient
strength turns the output on; a north pole of sufficient strength
is necessary to turn the output off. For applications requiring
operation from greater than 5.5 V or operation directly from
a battery, refer to the A1220, A1221, or A1223.
Two package styles provide a choice of through-hole or surface
mounting. Package type LH is a modified 3-pin SOT23W
surface-mount package, while UA is a three-pin ultramini SIP
for through-hole mounting. Both packages are lead (Pb) free,
with 100% matte-tin-plated leadframes.

OPERATION
The output of these devices switches low (turns on) when a mag-
netic field perpendicular to the Hall element exceeds the operate
point threshold, BOP (see Figure 1). After turn-on, the output volt-
age is VOUT(SAT)
. The output transistor is capable of continuously
sinking up to 30 mA. When the magnetic field is reduced below
the release point, BRP , the device output goes high (turns off).
The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the
hysteresis, BHYS , of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows
clean switching of the output even in the presence of external
mechanical vibration and electrical noise.
Removal of the magnetic field will leave the device output
latched on if the last crossed switchpoint is BOP, or latched off if
the last crossed switch point is BRP.
POWER-ON BEHAVIOR
Device power-on occurs once tON has elapsed. During the
time prior to tON, and after VCCVCC(min), the output state is
VOUT(SAT) (Low). After tON has elapsed, the output will corre-
spond with the applied magnetic field for B > BOP or B < BRP.
See Figure 2 for an example.
Powering-on the device in the hysteresis range (less than BOP and
higher than BRP) will give an output state of VOUT(SAT). The cor-
rect state is attained after the first excursion beyond BOP or BRP
.
Figure 1: Switching Behavior of Latches
On the horizontal axis, the B+ direction indicates increasing
south polarity magnetic field strength, and the B– direction
indicates decreasing south polarity field strength (including the
case of increasing north polarity.

APPLICATIONS
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected (in close proximity to the Hall element) between the
supply and ground of the device to guarantee correct performance
under harsh environmental conditions and to reduce noise from
internal circuitry. As is shown in Figure 3, a 0.1 µF capacitor is
typical.

sensors is available in:

CHOPPER STABILIZATION
A limiting factor for switchpoint accuracy when using Hall-effect
technology is the small signal voltage developed across the Hall
plate. This voltage is proportionally small relative to the offset
that can be produced at the output of the Hall sensor. This makes
it difficult to process the signal and maintain an accurate, reliable
output over the specified temperature and voltage range. Chopper
stabilization is a proven approach used to minimize Hall offset.
The Allegro technique, dynamic quadrature offset cancellation,
removes key sources of the output drift induced by temperature
and package stress. This offset reduction technique is based on a
signal modulation-demodulation process. Figure 4 illustrates how
it is implemented.
The undesired offset signal is separated from the magnetically
induced signal in the frequency domain through modulation. The
subsequent demodulation acts as a modulation process for the
offset, causing the magnetically induced signal to recover its orig-
inal spectrum at baseband while the DC offset becomes a high-
frequency signal. Then, using a low-pass filter, the signal passes
while the modulated DC offset is suppressed. Allegro’s innova-
tive chopper stabilization technique uses a high-frequency clock.
The high-frequency operation allows a greater sampling rate
that produces higher accuracy, reduced jitter, and faster signal
processing. Additionally, filtering is more effective and results in
a lower noise analog signal at the sensor output. Devices such as
the APS12205, APS12215, and APS12235 that use this approach
have an extremely stable quiescent Hall output voltage, are
immune to thermal stress, and have precise recoverability after
temperature cycling. This technique is made possible through the
use of a BiCMOS process which allows the use of low offset and
low noise amplifiers in combination with high-density logic and
sample-and-hold circuits.

POWER DERATING
The device must be operated below the maximum junction tem-
perature 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 appli-
cation. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors
affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on the
Allegro MicroSystems website.)
The Package Thermal Resistance, RθJA, is a figure of merit sum-
marizing 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 resulting power dissipation capability directly reflects upon
the ability of the device to withstand extreme operating condi-
tions. The junction temperature mission profile specified in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table designates a total operating life
capability based on qualification for the most extreme conditions,
where TJ may reach 175°C.
The silicon IC is heated internally when current is flowing into
the VCC terminal. When the output is on, current sinking into the
VOUT terminal generates additional heat. This may increase the
junction temperature, TJ, above the surrounding ambient tempe-
rature. The APS12205, APS12215, and APS12235 are permitted
to operate up to TJ = 175°C. As mentioned above, an operating
device will increase TJ according to equations 1, 2, and 3 below.
This allows an estimation of the maximum ambient operating
temperature.
PD = VIN × IIN (1)
ΔT = PD × RθJA (2)
TJ = TA + ΔT (3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 5 V, ICC = 2.5 mA, VOUT = 185 mV, IOUT = 2 mA (output
on), and RθJA = 165°C/W, then:
PD = (VCC × ICC) + (VOUT × IOUT) =
(5 V × 2.5 mA) + (185 mV × 2 mA) =
12.5 mW + 0.4 mW = 12.9 mW
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 12.9 mW × 165°C/W = 2.1°C
TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 2.1°C = 27.1°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allow-
able power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding
TJ(max), at a selected RθJA.
For example, given the conditions RθJA = 228°C/W, TJ(max) =
175°C, VCC(max) = 5.5 V, ICC(max) = 4 mA, VOUT = 500 mV,
and IOUT = 5 mA (output on), the maximum allowable operating
ambient temperature can be determined.
The power dissipation required for the output is shown below:
PD(VOUT) = VOUT × IOUT = 500 mV × 5 mA = 2.5 mW
The power dissipation required for the IC supply is shown below:
PD(VCC) = VCC × ICC = 5.5 V × 4 mA = 22 mW
Next, by inverting using equation 2:
ΔT = PD × RθJA = [PD(VOUT) + PD(VCC)] × 228°C/W =
(2.5 mW + 22 mW) × 228°C/W =
24.5 mW × 228°C/W = 5.6°C
Finally, by inverting equation 3 with respect to voltage:
TA(est) = TJ(max) – ΔT = 175°C – 5.6°C = 169.4°C
In the above case there is only sufficient power dissipation
capability to operate up to TA(est). This particular result indicates
that, at TJ(max), the application and device can only dissipate
adequate amounts of heat at ambient temperatures ≤ TA(est);
the APS12205, APS12215, and APS12235 performance is not
guaranteed above TA = 150°C for the “L” temperature variant and
TA = 85°C for the “E” temperature variant.
