A1688 Two-Wire, True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy Sensor IC FEATURES AND BENEFITS * Integrated capacitor reduces need for external EMI protection components * Wide leads facilitate ease of assembly * True zero-speed operation * Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for air gap independent switchpoints * Automatic Offset Adjustment (AOA) for signal processing optimization * Large operating air gap range * Internal current regulator for two-wire operation * Undervoltage lockout * Single chip sensing IC for high reliability * On-chip voltage regulator with wide operating voltage range and stability in the presence of a variety of complex load impedances * Fully synchronous digital logic with Scan and IDDQ testing Package: 2-pin SIP (suffix UB) DESCRIPTION The A1688 is a Hall-effect-based integrated circuit (IC) that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed digital ring magnet and gear tooth sensing in two-wire applications. The A1688 is offered in the UB package, which integrates the IC and a high temperature ceramic capacitor in a single overmolded SIP package. The integrated capacitor provides enhanced EMC performance with reduced external components. The integrated circuit incorporates a dual-element Hall-effect circuit and signal processing that switches in response to differential magnetic signals created by magnetic encoders, or, when properly backbiased with a magnet, from ferromagnetic targets. The device contains a sophisticated digital circuit that reduces magnet and system offsets, calibrates the gain for air gap independent switchpoints, and provides true zero-speed operation. Signal optimization occurs at power-up through the combination of offset and gain-adjust and is maintained throughout operation with the use of a running-mode calibration scheme. Runningmode calibration provides immunity from environmental effects such as micro-oscillations of the sensed target or sudden air gap changes. The regulated current output is configured for two-wire interface circuitry and is ideally suited for obtaining speed information in wheel speed applications. The Hall element spacing is optimized for high resolution, small diameter targets. The package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.

The magnetic fields are sensed at different points (spaced at a 1.75 mm pitch), generating a differential internal analog voltage, VPROC, that is processed for precise switching of the digital output signal. In Figure 5, the top panel, labeled Mechanical Position, represents the mechanical features of the ring magnet or gear target and orientation to the device. The bottom panel, labeled Device Output Signal, displays the square waveform corresponding to the digital output signal that results from a rotating target configured as shown in Figure 4. That direction of rotation (of the target side adjacent to the package face) is: perpendicular to the leads, across the face of the device, from the pin 1 side to the pin 2 side. This results in the device output switching from high to low output state as a north magnetic pole passes the device face. In this configuration, the device output voltage switches to its high polarity when a south pole is the target feature nearest to the device. If the direction of rotation is reversed or if a part of type A1688LUBxx-L-x is used, then the output polarity inverts (seeTable 1). The Hall IC is self-calibrating and also possesses a temperaturecompensated amplifier and offset cancellation circuitry. Its voltage regulator provides supply noise rejection throughout the operating voltage range. Changes in temperature do not greatly affect this device due to the stable amplifier design and the offset rejection circuitry. The Hall transducers and signal processing electronics are integrated on the same silicon substrate, using a proprietary BiCMOS process. Target Profiling During Operation An operating device is capable of providing digital information that is representative of the mechanical features of a rotating gear or ring magnet. The waveform diagram in Figure 5 presents the automatic translation of the mechanical profile, through the magnetic profile that it induces, to the digital output signal of the A1688. No additional optimization is needed and minimal processing circuitry is required. This ease of use reduces design time and incremental assembly costs for most applications.

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 website.) 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. A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RJA and TA. Example: Reliability for VCC at TA=150C, package UB, using minimum-K PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RJA=213C/W, TJ(max)=165C, VCC(max)= 24 V, and ICC(max) = 16 mA. Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First, invert equation 3: Tmax = TJ(max) - TA = 165C-150C = 15C This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2: PD(max) = Tmax/RJA =15C/213 C/W=64.9mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: PD = VIN x IIN (1) VCC(est) = PD(max) /ICC(max)= 64.9mW/16.0mA=4.05 V T = PD x RJA (2) TJ = TA + T(3) The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages VCC(est). For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25C, VCC = 12V, ICC = 14 mA, and RJA = 213 C/W, then: 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. PD = VCC x ICC = 12 V x 14 mA = 168 mW T = PD x RJA = 168 mW x 213 C/W = 38.8C TJ = TA + T = 25C + 38.8C = 63.8C Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 8 A1688 Two-Wire, True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy Sensor IC PACKAGE OUTLINE DRAWING For Reference Only - Not for Tooling Use (Reference DWG-9070) Dimensions in millimeters Dimensions exclusive of mold flash, gate burrs, and dambar protrusions Exact case and lead configuration at supplier discretion within limits shown +0.06 4.00 -0.05 B 4 x 10 E 1.75 1.50 0.05 E 1.125 C 1.45 E 4.00 +0.06 -0.07 E E1 Mold Ejector Pin Indent E2 E Branded Face A 4 x 2.50 REF 0.25 REF 0.30 REF NNN YYWW LLLL 45 0.85 0.07 0.42 0.10 D Standard Branding Reference View 2.54 REF N Y W L 4 x 0.85 REF 1 2 1.00 0.10 12.20 0.10 +0.05 0.25 -0.03 4 x 7.37 REF 1.80 0.10 = Supplier emblem = Last three digits of device part number = Last 2 digits of year of manufacture = Week of manufacture = Lot number A Dambar removal protrusion (8x) B Gate and tie bar burr area C Active Area Depth, 0.38 mm REF D Branding scale and appearance at supplier discretion E Hall elements (E1 and E2); not to scale F Molded Lead Bar for preventing damage to leads during shipment 0.38 REF 0.25 REF 4 x 0.85 REF 0.85 0.07 1.80 +0.06 -0.07 F 4.00 +0.06 -0.05 1.50 0.05 Figure 6: Package UB, 2-Pin SIP Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 9 A1688 Two-Wire, True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy Sensor IC Revision History Number Date - March 18, 2014 Initial release.
