A1160 Chopper-Stabilized Precision Hall-Effect Switch with Advanced Diagnostics FEATURES AND BENEFITS DESCRIPTION *AEC-Q100 automotive qualified *Unipolar switch points * Externally enabled diagnostics feature * Diagnostics feature exercises the entire magnetic and electrical signal path within the IC * Resistant to physical stress * Superior temperature stability through advanced chopper stabilization techniques * Output short-circuit protection * Internal regulator enables operation from unregulated supplies * Reverse-battery protection * Solid-state reliability * Small surface-mount package The A1160 is a unipolar, Hall-effect switch with an externally enabled diagnostic function. In normal operating mode, the A1160 functions as a standard, unipolar Hall-effect switch. The output transistor turns on (output signal switches low) in the presence of a sufficient magnetic field (>BOP(max)). Additionally, the output transistor of the A1160 switches off (output signal switches high) when the magnetic field is removed (<BRP(min)). Package: 5-pin SOT23W (suffix LH) The A1160 includes conductive coils in close proximity to the Hall element. When the diagnostic feature is enabled, these coils are energized. The energized coils generate an internal magnetic field that can be sensed by the Hall element. While in Diagnostic mode, the output of the A1160 provides a square wave output, which confirms the IC is properly sensing the internally generated magnetic field. The Diagnostic mode exercises the entire magnetic and electrical signal path internal to the IC, fully confirming functionality. Therefore, use of the A1160 either eliminates the need for redundant sensors in safety critical applications or increases robustness in safety critical applications that require redundant sensors (drive-by-wire systems and so forth). The A1160 Hall-effect sensor IC is extremely temperaturestable and stress-resistant, especially suited for operation Approximate footprint Continued on the next page...

Design simulations show that a 10,000 G external field will not adversely affect the A1160 in Diagnostic mode when a 1% sensitivity mismatch between the Hall elements in the IC is assumed.

As is shown in figure 2, a 0.1F capacitor is typical. Extensive applications information on magnets and Hall-effect sensor ICs is available on the Allegro website, including the following application notes: * Hall-Effect IC Applications Guide, AN27701 * Soldering Methods for Allegro's Products - SMT and ThroughHole, AN26009 Switch to High VOUT(SAT) 0 BRP 0 BOP Powering-on the IC in the hysteresis range (applied magnetic lower than BOP but also higher than BRP) results in output at the high state. The output will not switch until there is a valid transition beyond BOP or BRP. The correct output state is attained after the first excursion beyond BOP or BRP. VCC VOUT The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the hysteresis, BHYS, of the IC. This built-in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output, including when in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. V+ Switch to Low Operation The output of the A1160 switches low (turns on) when a magnetic field perpendicular to the Hall element exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP. After turn-on, the output is capable of sinking 25mA and the output voltage is VOUT(SAT). When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point, BRP, the output goes high (turns off). This is illustrated in figure 1. B+ BHYS Figure 1. Switching behavior of Hall effect switches. 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).

The Diagnostic mode uses an internally generated magnetic signal to exercise the signal path. This signal is compared to two reference signals in the Schmitt trigger. If the diagnostic signal is between the two reference signals, the device is considered to be working within specification and a 50% PWM signal is set at the output pin (VOUT), as shown in figure 3. If the diagnostic signal is above the upper reference or below the lower reference, the output PWM is set at a fixed value that is either at nearly 0% or at nearly 100% duty cycle. The Diagnostic mode of operation not only detects catastrophic failures but also identifies drifts in the magnetic switch points. If BOP or BRP drift to values below or above the values stated in the Drift Detection Threshold section of the Operating Characteristics table, the output PWM is set at a fixed value that is either at nearly 0% or at nearly 100% duty cycle. DIAG DIAG t VOUT t VOUT Device OK Duty = 50% t Device Failure Duty 50% or Duty 50% t Figure 3. Diagnostics Functional Diagram. When the A1160 passes the diagnostic test, a 50% duty cycle signal is sent out (left panel). In the event of a failure, the output will be forced either high or low (right panel). Diagnostic mode is only active when the DIAG input pin is pulled high. Allegro MicroSystems 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 10 Chopper-Stabilized Precision Hall-Effect Switch with Advanced Diagnostics A1160 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 IC. This makes it difficult to process the signal while maintaining an accurate, reliable output across the specified operating temperature and voltage ranges. Chopper stabilization is a unique approach used to minimize Hall offset on the chip. The 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 unwanted 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 baseband, 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. This configuration is illustrated in figure 4. The chopper stabilization technique uses a 400 kHz, high frequency clock. For demodulation process, a sample-and-hold technique is used, where the sampling is performed at twice the chopper frequency (800 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. The repeatability of magnetic field-induced switching is affected slightly by a chopper technique. However, the Allegro high frequency chopping approach minimizes the affect of jitter and makes it imperceptible in most applications. Applications that are more likely to be sensitive to such degradation are those requiring precise sensing of alternating magnetic fields; for example, speed sensing of ring-magnet targets. For such applications, Allegro recommends its digital sensor IC families with lower sensitivity to jitter. For more information on those products, contact your Allegro sales representative.
