A1250 Hall Effect Latch / Bipolar Switch Features and Benefits Description * High speed, 4-phase chopper stabilization * Low operating voltage down to 3.0 V * High Sensitivity * Stable switchpoints * Robust EMC The A1250 Hall-effect sensor IC is a temperature stable, stress-resistant bipolar switch. This device is the most sensitive Hall-effect device in the AllegroTM bipolar switch family and is intended for ring-magnet sensing. Superior high-temperature performance is made possible through an Allegro patented dynamic offset cancellation that utilizes chopper-stabilization. This method reduces the offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. Packages: 3-pin SOT23W (suffix LH), and 3-pin SIP (suffix UA) The A1250 includes the following on a single silicon chip: a voltage regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and a short circuit protected open-drain output. Advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication processing takes advantage of low-voltage requirements, component matching, very low input-offset errors, and small component geometries. The A1250 Hall-effect bipolar switch turns on in a south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength and switches off in a north polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength. Because the output state is not defined if the magnetic field is diminished or removed, to ensure that the device switches, Allegro recommends using magnets of both polarities and of sufficient strength in the application.

After turn-on, the output voltage is VOUT(SAT) . The output transistor is capable of sinking current up to the short circuit current limit IOM , which is a minimum of 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. The other two modes of operation are the unipolar switch and the negative switch, shown in panels 1b and 1c, respectively. The unipolar switch type operates only in a south polarity field, and will switch to the high state if the magnetic field is removed. The negative switch operates only in a north polarity field, and will switch to the low state if the magnetic field is removed. Given the magnetic parameter specifications (refer to Magnetic Characteristics table), bipolar switches will operate in one of three modes, depending on switchpoints. For typical values of BOP and BRP , the device will operate as a latch, as shown in figure 1a. Note that, when the magnetic flux density exceeds a switchpoint, the output will retain its state when the magnetic field is removed. Powering up the device in the hysteresis band, that is in a magnetic field less than BOP and higher than BRP , allows an indeterminate output state. Note that this hysteresis band encompasses zero magnetic field on devices that exhibit latch behaviors. The correct state is determined after the first magnetic excursion beyond BOP or BRP .

Because these devices are not guaranteed to behave as latches, magnetic fields of sufficient magnitude and alternate polarity are required to ensure output switching. 0 B+ BHYS Figure 1. Bipolar Device Output Switching Modes. These behaviors can be exhibited when using a circuit such as that shown in figure 1. Panel A displays the hysteresis when a device exhibits latch mode (note that the BHYS band incorporates B = 0), panel B shows unipolar switch behavior (the BHYS band is more positive than B = 0), and panel C shows negative switch behavior (the BHYS band is more negative than B = 0). Bipolar devices, such as the A1250, can operate in any of the three modes.

Typical Application Circuit Chopper Stabilization Technique When using Hall-effect technology, a limiting factor for switchpoint accuracy is the small signal voltage developed across the Hall element. This voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall sensor 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 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. 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 sensor 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.

Under certain combinations of peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the application. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.) The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, is a figure of merit summarizing 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, RJC, is relatively small component of RJA. Ambient air temperature, TA, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by overmolding. The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, PD), can be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental relationships used to estimate TJ, at PD. PD = VIN x IIN (1) T = PD x RJA (2) TJ = TA + T (3) Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150C, package UA, using a single-layer PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RJA = 165 C/W, TJ(max) = 165C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and ICC(max) = 4 mA. Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max) . First, invert equation 3: Tmax = TJ(max) - TA = 165 C - 150 C = 15 C This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2: PD(max) = Tmax / RJA = 15C / 165 C/W = 91 mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: VCC(est) = PD(max) / ICC(max) = 91 mW / 4 mA = 23 V The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages VCC(est) . Compare VCC(est) to VCC(max) . If VCC(est) VCC(max) , then reliable operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires enhanced RJA. If VCC(est) VCC(max) , then operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions. For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25C, VIN = 12 V, IIN = 4 mA, and RJA = 140 C/W, then: PD = VIN x IIN = 12 V x 4 mA = 48 mW T = PD x RJA = 48 mW x 140 C/W = 7C TJ = TA + T = 25C + 7C = 32C A worst-case estimate, PD(max) , represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max) , at a selected RJA and TA.
