A1354 High Precision 2-Wire Linear Hall Effect Sensor IC with Pulse Width Modulated Output Features and Benefits Description Designed for automotive, battery-powered applications Customer programmable quiescent duty cycle, sensitivity, and PWM carrier frequency, through VCC pin Simultaneous programming of duty cycle, sensitivity, and PWM carrier frequency, for system optimization Factory programmed sensitivity temperature coefficient and quiescent duty cycle drift Selectable unidirectional or bidirectional quiescent duty cycles Pulse width modulated (PWM) output provides increased noise immunity compared to analog output Temperature-stable quiescent duty cycle output and sensitivity The A1354 device is a high precision, programmable 2-wire Hall effect linear sensor IC with a pulse width modulated (PWM) output. The duty cycle (D) of the PWM output signal is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The A1354 device converts an analog signal from its internal Hall circuit to a digitally encoded PWM output signal. The coupled noise immunity of the digitally encoded PWM output is far superior to the noise immunity of an analog output signal. Continued on the next page... Package: 4-pin SIP (suffix KT) 1 mm case thickness The BiCMOS, monolithic circuit inside of the A1354 integrates a Hall element, precision temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity and offset drift of the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, proprietary dynamic offset cancellation circuits, and PWM conversion circuitry. The dynamic offset cancellation circuits reduce the residual offset voltage of the Hall element. Hall element offset is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. The high frequency offset cancellation (chopping) clock allows a greater sampling rate, which increases the accuracy of the output signal and results in faster signal processing capability. The A1354 device is provided in a lead (Pb) free 4-pin single inline package (KT suffix), with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

In turn, D is proportional to a change in air gap between the A1354 Hall element and the magnetic target. The output duty cycle in the quiescent state (no significant magnetic field: B = 0 G), D(Q) , remains steady at the specific programmed duty cycle throughout the entire operating ranges of VCC and ambient temperature, TA. Power-On Time When the supply is ramped to its operating voltage, the device requires a finite time to power its internal components before supplying a valid PWM output duty cycle. Power-On Time, tPO , is defined as the time it takes, with no applied magnetic field (quiescent state), for the PWM output voltage duty cycle, D(Q) , to settle within 5% of its steady state value, after the power supply has reached its minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min). Response Time The time interval, tRESPONSE , between a) when the applied magnetic field reaches 90% of its final value, and b) when the device reaches 90% of its output level corresponding to the applied magnetic field. tRESPONSE depends on the signal delay defined by the device filter bandwidth, BWi , and a full PWM period, which is required for output update. Guaranteed Quiescent Duty Cycle Output Range The quiescent duty cycle output, D(Q) , can be programmed within the guaranteed quiescent duty cycle range limits: D(Q)(min) and D(Q)(max). The available guaranteed programming range for D(Q) falls within the distributions of the initial duty cycle, D(Q)init , and of the maximum programming code for setting D(Q) , as shown in figure 1. Quiescent Duty Cycle Output Programming Resolution The programming resolution for any device is half of its programming step size. Therefore, the typical programming resolution is: ErrPGD(Q)(typ) = 0.5 x StepD(Q)(typ) D(Q)maxcode - D(Q)mincode 2n -1 , (2) Quiescent Output Duty Cycle Drift Through Temperature Range Due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, the quiescent duty cycle temperature coefficient, TCD(Q), may drift from its nominal value over the range of the operating ambient temperature, TA. For purposes of specification, the Quiescent Duty Cycle Output Drift Through Temperature Range, D(Q) (%), is defined as: D(Q) = D(Q)(TA) - D(Q)(25C) . (3) D(Q) should be calculated using the actual measured values of D(Q)(TA) and D(Q)(25C) rather than ideal programming target values. Sensitivity The presence of a south polarity magnetic field, perpendicular to the branded face of the package, increases the output duty cycle from its quiescent value toward the maximum duty cycle limit. The amount of the output duty cycle increase is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field applied. Conversely, the application of a north polarity field decreases the output duty cycle from its quiescent value. This proportionality is specified as the magnetic sensitivity, Sens (%/G), of the device, and it is defined for bipolar devices as: Sens = D(BPOS) - D(BNEG) BPOS - BNEG Average Quiescent Duty Cycle Output Step Size The average quiescent duty cycle output step size, StepD(Q) , for a single device is determined using the following calculation: StepD(Q) = . , (4) Guaranteed D(Q) Programming Range (1) where: n is the number of available programming bits in the trim range, 2n -1 is the value of the maximum programming code in the range, and D(Q)maxcode is the quiescent output duty cycle at code 2n -1.

Average Carrier Frequency Step Size Refer to the Average Quiescent Duty Cycle Output Step Size section for a conceptual explanation. Carrier Frequency Programming Resolution Refer to the Quiescent Duty Cycle Output Programming Resolution section for a conceptual explanation. Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient Device Sensitivity changes as temperature changes, with respect to its programmed sensitivity temperature coefficient, TCSENS. TCSENS is programmed at 125C, and calculated relative to the nominal sensitivity programming temperature of 25C. TCSENS (%/C) is defined as: 1 SensT2 - SensT1 TCSens = x 100% T2-T1 , (6) Sens T1 where T1 is the nominal Sens programming temperature of 25C, and T2 is the TCSENS programming temperature of 125C. The expected value of Sens over the full ambient temperature range, SensEXPECTED(TA) = SensT1x [100% +TCSENS (TA -T1)] (7) 100 % SensEXPECTED(TA) should be calculated using the actual measured values of SensT1 and TCSENS rather than ideal programming target values. Sensitivity Drift Through Temperature Range Second order sensitivity temperature coefficient effects cause the magnetic sensitivity, Sens, to drift from its expected value over the operating ambient temperature range, TA. For purposes of specification, the sensitivity drift through temperature range, SensTC, is defined as: SensTC = SensTA - SensEXPECTED(TA) SensEXPECTED(TA) x 100% . (8) Sensitivity Drift Due to Package Hysteresis Package stress and stress relaxation can cause the device sensitivity at TA = 25C to change during and after temperature cycling. For purposes of specification, the sensitivity drift due to package hysteresis, SensPKG, is defined as: SensPKG = Sens(25C)2 - Sens(25C)1 x 100% Sens(25C)1 , (9) where Sens(25C)1 is the programmed value of sensitivity at TA = 25C, and Sens(25C)2 is the value of sensitivity at TA = 25C, after temperature cycling TA up to 125C, down to -40C, and back to up 25C. Linearity Sensitivity Error The A1354 is designed to provide a 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 error is present when there is a difference between the sensitivities measured at B1 and B2.

Linearity error (%) is measured and defined as: D(+B) - D(Q) LinERRPOS = 3/4- 3/4 D(+B1/2) - D(Q) x % , D(-B) - D(Q) LinERRNEG = 3/4- 3/4 D(-B1/2) - D(Q) x % , (10) where: SensBx = |D(Bx) - D(Q)| Bx . (11) (12) Note that unipolar devices only have positive linearity error (LINERRPOS). Symmetry Sensitivity Error The magnetic sensitivity of an A1354 device is constant for any two applied magnetic fields of equal magnitude and opposite polarities. Symmetry error, x % , (13) where SensBx is as defined in equation 11, and BPOS and BNEG are positive and negative magnetic fields such that |BPOS| = |BNEG|. Note that the symmetry error specification is only valid for bipolar devices. Jitter The duty cycle of the PWM output may vary slightly over time despite the presence of a constant applied magnetic field and a constant carrier frequency for the PWM signal. This phenomenon is known as jitter, JitterPWM (%), and is defined as: JitterPWM = Then: LinERR = max( LinERRPOS , LinERRNEG ) . SymERR (%), is measured and defined as: D(+B) - D(Q) SymERR = 3/4- 3/4 D(Q) - D(-B) DBmax - DBmin 2 , (14) where DBmax and DBmin are the maximum and minimum duty cycles measured the over 1000 PWM clock periods with a constant applied magnetic field. Resolution The ability to derive the value of the applied magnetic field from the device output is affected by jitter. The resolution of the magnetic field, RESPWM (G), is defined as: JitterPWM RESPWM = .

This voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall element. 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 modulation-demodulation process. The undesired offset signal is separated from the magnetic fieldinduced 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 base band, 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. The chopper stabilization technique uses a 200 kHz high frequency clock. For demodulation process, a sample and hold technique is used, where the sampling is performed at twice the chopper frequency (400 kHz). 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.

Unique combinations of different voltage amplitude pulses control the internal programming logic of the device to select a programmable parameter and set its value. There are three voltage levels that must be taken into account when programming using a high voltage pulse, VPH (consisting of a VP(LOW) - VP(HIGH) - VP(LOW) sequence), and a mid voltage pulse, VPM (consisting of a VP(LOW) - VP(MID) - VP(LOW) sequence). The low voltage level, VP(LOW) , separates the VPH and VPM programming pulses. The 1354 features Try mode, Blow mode, and Lock mode: * In Try mode, the value of multiple programmable parameters may be set and measured simultaneously. The parameter values are stored temporarily, and reset after cycling the supply voltage. kit is available for download free of charge, and provides additional information on programming these devices. Definition of Terms Register The section of the programming logic that controls the choice of programmable modes and parameters. Bitfield The internal fuses unique to each register, represented as a binary number. Incrementing the bitfields of a particular register causes its programmable parameter to change, based on the internal programming logic. Key A series of mid voltage pulses used to select a register, with a value expressed as the decimal equivalent of the binary value. The LSB of a register is denoted as key 1, or bitfield 0. Code The number used to identify the combination of fuses activated in a bitfield, expressed as the decimal equivalent of the binary value. The LSB of a bitfield is denoted as code 1, or bit 0. * In Blow mode, the value of a single programmable parameter may be set, measured, and permanently set by blowing solidstate fuses internal to the device. Additional parameters may be blown sequentially. This mode is used for blowing the devicelevel fuse, which permanently blocks the further programming of all parameters. Addressing Incrementing the bit field code of a selected register by serially applying a pulse train through the VCC pin of the device. Each parameter can be measured during the addressing process, but the internal fuses must be blown before the programming code (and parameter value) becomes permanent. * Lock mode prevents all future programming of the device. This is accomplished by blowing a special fuse using blow mode. The programming sequence is designed to help prevent the device from being programmed accidentally; for example, as a result of noise on the supply line. Although any programmable variable power supply can be used to generate the pulse waveforms, Allegro highly recommends using the Allegro Sensor IC Evaluation Kit, available on the Allegro website On-line Store. The manual for that Fuse Blowing Applying a high pulse of sufficient duration to permanently set an addressed bit by blowing a fuse internal to the device. Once a bit (fuse) has been blown, it cannot be reset. Blow Pulse A high pulse of sufficient duration to blow the addressed fuse. Cycling the Supply Powering-down, and then powering-up the supply voltage. Cycling the supply is used to clear the programming settings in Try mode.

Blowing is accomplished by applying a VPH pulse, called a blow pulse, of sufficient duration at the VP(HIGH) level to permanently set an addressed bit by blowing a fuse internal to the device. Due to power requirements, the fuse for each bit in the bitfield must be blown individually. To accomplish this, the code representing the desired parameter value must be translated to a binary number. For example, as shown in figure 4, decimal code 5 is equivalent to the binary number 101. Therefore bit 2 (code 4) must be addressed and blown, the device power supply cycled, and then bit 0 (code 1) addressed and blown. An appropriate sequence for blowing code 5 is shown V+ V+ VP(HIGH) VP(HIGH) VP(MID) VP(MID) Code 2n - 1 Register 1: Blow and Lock Register 2: Try Also, it has four registers that select among the seven programmable parameters: When addressing the bitfield, the number of VPM pulses is represented by a decimal number called the code. Addressing activates the corresponding fuse locations in the given bitfield by incrementing the binary value of an internal DAC. The value of the bitfield (and code) increments by one with the falling edge of each VPM pulse, up to the maximum possible code for the register (see the Programming Logic table). As the code increases, the value of the programmable parameter changes. Measurements can be taken after each VPM pulse to determine if the desired result for the programmable parameter has been reached. Cycling the supply voltage resets all the locations in the bitfield that have unblown fuses to their initial states. Code 2n - 2 The A1354 has two registers that select among the three programming modes: Bitfield Addressing After a parameter register has been selected, a VPH pulse transitions the programming logic into the bitfield addressing state. Applying a series of VPM pulses to the VCC pin of the device, as shown in figure 3, increments the bitfield of the selected parameter. Code 2 Mode and Parameter Register Selection Each mode and programmable parameter can be accessed through a specific register. To select a register, a sequence of voltage pulses consisting of a VPH pulse, a series of VPM pulses, and a VPH pulse (with no VCC supply interruptions) must be applied serially to the VCC pin. The number of VPM pulses is called the key, and uniquely identifies each register. The pulse train used for selection of the first register, key 1, is shown in figure 2. Code 1 A1354 VP(LOW) VP(LOW) tLOW 0 tACTIVE Figure 2. Parameter selection pulse train. This shows the sequence for selecting the register corresponding to key 1, indicated by a single VPM pulse. 0 Figure 3. Bitfield addressing pulse train. Addressing the bitfield by incrementing the code causes the programmable parameter value to change. The number of bits available for a given programming code, n, varies among parameters; for example, the bitfield for D(Q) has 6 bits available, which allows 63 separate codes to be used.

The order of blowing bits, however, is not important. Blowing bit 0 first, and then bit 2 is acceptable. Note: After blowing, the programming is not reversible, even after cycling the supply power. Although a register bitfield fuse cannot be reset after it is blown, additional bits within the same register can be blown at any time until the device is locked. For example, if bit 1 (binary 10) has been blown, it is still possible to blow bit 0. The end result would be binary 11 (decimal code 3). Locking the Device After the desired code for each parameter is programmed, the device can be locked to prevent further programming of any parameters. Additional Guidelines The additional guidelines in this section should be followed to ensure the proper behavior of these devices: * A 0.1 F blowing capacitor, CBLOW, must be mounted between the VCC pin and the GND pin during programming, to ensure enough current is available to blow fuses. * The CBLOW blowing capacitor must be replaced in the final application with a 10 nF bypass capacitor for proper operation. * The application capacitance, CBYPASS, should be used when measuring the output duty cycle during programming. The blowing capacitor, CBLOW, should be removed during measurement and should only be applied when blowing fuses. * The power supply used for programming must be capable of delivering at least 26 V and 300 mA.

In this mode, each VPH pulse will indefinitely loop the programming logic through the Mode Select, Register Select, and Bitfield Select states, as long as there are no interruptions in the VCC supply. To enter Try mode, after powering the VCC supply and entering the Initial state, send one VPH pulse to enter Mode Select state, and then two VPM pulses (Mode Selection key 2). Select the required parameter register and address its bitfield. When addressing the bitfield, each VPM pulse increments the value of the parameter register, up to the maximum possible code (see the Programming Logic table). The addressed parameter value is stored in the device, even after the programming drive voltage is removed from the VCC pin, allowing its value to be measured. To test an additional programmable parameter in conjunction with the original, enter an additional VPH pulse on the VCC pin to re-enter the parameter selection field. Select a different parameter register, and address its bitfield without any supply interruptions. Both parameter values are stored and can be measured after removing the programming drive voltage. Multiple programming combinations can be tested to achieve optimal application accuracy. See figure 6 for an example of the Try mode pulse train. Registers can be addressed and re-addressed an indefinite number of times, and in any order. After the required code is found for each register, cycle the supply voltage and blow the bitfield fuse using Blow mode. Note that for accurate time measurements, the blow capacitor, CBLOW , should be removed during output voltage measurement. Blow Mode After the required value of the programmable parameter is found using Try mode, the corresponding code should be blown to make the value permanent. To do this, select the required parameter register, and address and blow each required bit separately (as described in the Fuse Blowing section). The supply must be cycled between blowing each bit of a given code. After a bit is blown, cycling the supply will not reset its value. Single parameters can still be addressed in Blow mode before fuse blowing (simultaneous addressing of multiple parameters, as in Try mode, is not possible). After powering the VCC supply, select the required parameter register and address its bitfield. When addressing the bitfield, each VPM pulse increments the value of the parameter register, up to the maximum possible code (see Programming Logic table). The addressed parameter value is stored in the device, even after the programming drive voltage is removed from the VCC pin, allowing its value to be measured. Note that for accurate time measurements, the blow capacitor, CBLOW, should be removed during output voltage measurement. It is not possible to decrement the value of the register without resetting the parameter bitfield. To reset the bit field, and thus the value of the programmable parameter, cycle the supply voltage. When testing the device in Try mode, it is recommended to select parameter register 4, the null register, before tests. This recommendation is because the programming voltage levels overlap the VCC operating levels, so varying VCC during tests in Try mode may unintentionally result in device programming. It is possible to switch between Try and Blow modes where single programmable parameters can be blown in Blow mode while other parameters can still be tested in Try mode. Lock Mode To lock the device, address the LOCK bit, and apply a blow pulse with CBLOW in place. After locking the device, no future programming of any parameter is possible.

Mode Select State This state allows the selection of the Mode register. To select a Mode register, increment through the keys by applying VPM pulses to the VCC pin. Register keys select among the following programing modes: * 1 pulse - Blow and Lock * 2 pulses - Try To enter the Parameter Select state, apply 2 VPH pulses to the VCC pin.

Applying VPM pulses to the VCC pin increments the bitfield. In Try mode, to re-enter the Parameter Selection state, apply 1 VPH pulse on the VCC pin. The previously addressed parameter retains its value as long as VCC is not cycled. In Blow or Lock mode, to leave the Bitfield Select state requires either cycling VCC or blowing the fuses for the selected code. Note: Merely addressing the bitfield does not permanently set the value of the selected programming parameter; fuses must be blown to do so. Fuse Blowing State To blow an addressed bitfield, apply a VPH pulse to the VCC pin. Power to the device should then be cycled before additional programming is attempted. Note: Each bit representing a decimal code must be blown individually (see the Fuse Blowing section).

The recommended sequence for programming is shown in the Additional Guidelines section, but for this example, we start at setting the register for Fine Duty Cycle and then go on to final locking of the device. 12. Send two VPH pulses to enter the Register Select state. 13. Send two VPM pulses to select the Fine D(Q) register. 14. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Bitfield Select state. The Fine D(Q) register is reset to 000000000. To find the correct duty cycle value: 15. Send one hundred and twenty-eight VPM pulses to set bitfield 7. (The bitfields can be set in any order.) 1. Power-on the system. This resets all unprogrammed bits in all registers to 0. The device enters the Initial state. 16. Send one VPH pulse to exit the Bitfield Select state. The bitfield fuse is blown. 2. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Mode Select state. 3. Send two VPM pulses to select the Try mode. 4. Send two VPH pulses to enter the Register Select state. 5. Send two VPM pulses to select the Fine D(Q) register. 6. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Bitfield Select state. The Fine D(Q) register is reset to 000000000. 7. For this example, send one hundred and twenty-eight VPM pulses to set bitfield 7 (010000000, decimal 128). Now we can measure the device output to see if this is the required value. Assume for this example that the value is slightly too low. So we proceed to change it, as follows: 8. Send one VPM pulse to increment the Fine D(Q) code by 1. This yields a total register value of 129 by setting bitfield 0: 010000001. Assume we measure the device and find this is the correct duty cycle value we require. We are finished trying values for this parameter, and now want to set the value permanently by blowing the corresponding bitfield fuses. Blowing fuses is done one bitfield (one fuse) at a time. We are setting two bitfields, so we have to blow them in two stages: 9. Reset the device by powering it off and on. The device returns to the Initial state. 10. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Mode Select state. 11. Send one VPM pulse to select the Blow mode. One of the two bitfields is programmed. Now we program the other bitfield: 17. Repeat steps 9 to 14 to select the Fine D(Q) register again and enter the Bitfield Select state. This time, however, the register resets to 010000000, because bit 7 has been permanently set. 18. Send one VPM pulse to set bit 0. 19. Send one VPH pulse to exit the Bitfield Select state. The bitfield fuse is blown. Program the remaining parameter by repeating the above steps. After programming all parameters, we can lock the device: 20. Reset the device by powering it off and on. The device returns to the Initial state. 21. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Mode Select state. 22. Send one VPM pulse to select the Lock mode. 23. Send two VPH pulses to enter the Register Select state. 24. Send five VPM pulses to select the LOCK register. The register resets either to 0000000000, or to 0000010000 if Calibration Test mode has been previously enabled. 25. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Bitfield Select state. 26. Send five hundred and twelve VPM pulses to set the LOCK bit, bitfield 9. 27. Send one VPH pulse to exit the Bitfield Select state. The bitfield fuse is blown. Programming of the device is complete. Optionally, test the results, or power-off the device.

This test mode is optional and must be enabled by blowing its programming bit. After the test mode bit has been blown, the device enters Calibration Test mode every time the device is powered-up. In customer applications the PWM interface circuitry (body control module: BCM in figure 7) and the A1354 may be powered via different power and ground circuits. As a result, the ground reference for the A1354 may differ from the ground reference of the BCM. In some customer applications this ground difference can be as large as 0.5 V. Differences in the ground reference for the A1354 and the BCM can result in variations in the threshold voltage used to measure the duty cycle of the A1354. If the PWM conversion threshold voltage varies, then the duty cycle will vary because there is a finite rise time, tr , and fall time, tf , in the PWM waveform. This problem is shown in figure 8. The Calibration Test mode allows end users to compensate for any threshold errors that result from a difference in system ground potentials. While the A1354 is in the test period, the VCC 1 VCC BCM 4.7 k A1354 CBYPASS GND CL 10 nF 10 nF 4 GND1 GND2 Figure 7: In many applications the A1354 may be powered using a different ground reference than the BCM. This may cause the ground reference for the A1354 (GND 1) to differ from the ground reference of the BCM (GND 2) by as much as to 0.5 V. VOH VOL Figure 8. When the threshold voltage is correctly centered between VOH and VOL, the duty cycle accurately coincides with the applied magnetic field. If the threshold voltage is raised, the output duty cycle appears shorter than expected. Conversely, if the threshold voltage is lowered, the output duty cycle is longer than expected.

After powering-up, the A1354 outputs its quiescent duty cycle waveform for 800 ms, regardless of the applied magnetic field (see figure 9). This allows the BCM to compare the measured quiescent duty cycle with an ideal 50% duty cycle. During Calibration Teat mode PMW output = 50% duty cycle After the initial 800 ms has elapsed, the duty cycle corresponds to an applied magnetic field as expected. The 800 ms calibration test time corresponds to a PWM frequency of 125 Hz. If the PWM frequency is programmed away from its target of 125 Hz, the duration of the calibration test time will scale inversely with the change in PWM frequency. After the calibration expires, PWM output proportional to external magnetic field Figure 9. Calibration Test Mode. After powering-on, the A1354 outputs a 50% duty cycle for the first 800 ms, regardless of the applied magnetic field (Calibration Test mode in effect). After the initial 800 ms has elapsed, the output responds to a magnetic field as expected. The example in this figure assumes that a large +B (south polarity) field is applied to the device after the initial 800 ms.
