A1359 Factory-Programmed Dual Output Linear Hall Effect Sensor IC With Analog and Pulse Width Modulated Outputs Features and Benefits Description * Dual tracking outputs: analog voltage output and pulse width modulated (PWM) output * Matched analog and PWM outputs enable user to detect various output error conditions * Factory-programmed offset, sensitivity, and polarity * Sensitivity temperature coefficient (TC) and QVO/QD temperature coefficient programmed at AllegroTM for improved accuracy * High speed chopping scheme minimizes quiescent voltage output (QVO) drift across temperature * Temperature-stable QVO and sensitivity * Output voltage clamps provide short circuit diagnostic capabilities * Wide ambient temperature range: -40C to 150C * Immune to mechanical stress * Enhanced EMC performance for stringent automotive applications New applications for linear output Hall effect sensors, such as displacement and angular position, require high accuracy in conjunction with redundant outputs. The Allegro A1359 programmable, linear, Hall effect sensor IC has been designed specifically to achieve both goals. The features associated with this linear device make it ideal for use in automotive and industrial applications requiring high accuracy, and this temperature-stable device operates across an extended temperature range: -40C to 150C. The accuracy of the device is enhanced via programmability at the Allegro factory for optimization of device sensitivity, the quiescent voltage output (QVO: output with no magnetic field), and quiescent duty cycle (QD) for a given application or circuit. The A1359 also allows optimized performance across the entire operating temperature range via programming the temperature coefficients for both sensitivity and QVO/QD at Allegro end-of-line test. This ratiometric Hall effect sensor IC provides a analog voltage, and a PWM signal with duty cycle, that are proportional to the applied magnetic field.

Power-On Time for analog output, tPOVOUT, is defined as the time it takes for the output voltage to settle within 10% of its steady state value after the power supply has reached its minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min). (See figure 1.) Power-On Time is specified in a different way for the PWM output than the analog output. For the PWM output, the Power-On Time, tPOPWM, is defined as the time it takes for the duty cycle to settle within 10% of the target steady state value from the time the power supply has reached the minimum specified operating voltage, VCC(min). (See figure 2.) Response Time The time interval, tRESPONSEPWM or tRESPONSEVOUT , between: a) when the applied magnetic field reaches 90% of its final value, and b) when the sensor IC reaches 90% of its output corresponding to the applied magnetic field (PWM duty cycle or analog VOUT ). Figure 3 illustrates an example with the PWM output. Response time is conceptually the same for the analog output.

The delay to clamp, tCLPVOUT , is defined as the time it takes for the output voltage to settle within 1% of its steady state value after initially passing through its steady state voltage. This is conceptually the same for the PWM output duty cycle settling to the steady state value. (See figure 4.) Quiescent Voltage Output In the quiescent state (no significant magnetic field: B = 0 G), the analog output, VOUT, is ratiometric to the supply voltage, VCC , throughout the entire operating range of VCC . The PWM output, VPWMOUT , by virtue of being a % duty-cycle will remain at 50% nominal throughout the entire VCC operating range (4.5 to 5.5 V). Quiescent Output Drift through Temperature Range Due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, the Quiescent Voltage Output, VOUT(Q) , may drift from its nominal value across the operating ambient temperature, TA. For purposes of specification, the Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Through Temperature Range, VOUT(Q) (mV), is defined as: VOUT(Q) = VOUT(Q)(TA) - VOUT(Q)(25C) (1) Sensitivity Assuming the sensitivity of the device is positive (Positive Polarity: A1359LLETR-T), the presence of a southpolarity magnetic field perpendicular to the branded surface of the package face increases the output voltage from its quiescent value toward the supply voltage rail.

Definition of Delay to Clamp where BPOS and BNEG are two magnetic fields with opposite polarities. Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient Device sensitivity changes as temperature changes, with respect to its programmed Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient, TCSENS. TCSENS is programmed at 150C, and calculated relative to the nominal sensitivity programming temperature of 25C. TCSENS (%/C) is defined as: 1 SensT2 - SensT1 TCSENS = 100% x SensT1 T2-T1 (3) where T1 is the nominal Sens programming temperature of 25C, and T2 is the TCSENS programming temperature of 150C. The ideal value of Sens through the full ambient temperature range, SensIDEAL(TA), is defined as: SensIDEAL(TA) = SensT1x [100% +TCSENS (TA -T1)] Magnetic Input Signal Device Output, VPWMOUT or VOUT (V) VCLP(HIGH) voltage increase is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field applied. Conversely, the application of a north polarity field decreases the output voltage from its quiescent value. For the case of the reverse polarity device (A1359LLETR-RP-T), the presence of a south-polarity magnetic field perpendicular to the branded surface of the package face decreases the output voltage from its quiescent value toward the ground rail. The amount of the output voltage decrease is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field applied. Conversely, the application of a north polarity field increases the output voltage from its quiescent value. This proportionality is specified as the magnetic sensitivity, Sens (mV/G), of the device and is defined as: VOUT(BPOS) - VOUT(BNEG) Sens = (2) BPOS - BNEG (4) Sensitivity Drift Due to Package Hysteresis Package stress and relaxation can cause the device sensitivity at TA = 25C to change during and after temperature cycling. This change in sensitivity follows a hysteresis curve. For purposes of specification, the Sensitivity Drift Due to Package Hysteresis, SensPKG, is defined as: SensPKG = Sens(25C)2 - Sens(25C)1 Sens(25C)1 x 100 (%) Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com (5) 7 Factory-Programmed Dual Output Linear Hall Effect Sensor IC With Analog and Pulse Width Modulated Outputs A1359 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 150C, down to -40C, and back to up 25C. Linearity Sensitivity Error The A1359 is designed to provide 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 Sensitivity Error is calculated separately for the positive (LinERRPOS) and negative (LinERRNEG ) applied magnetic fields. Linearity error (%) is measured and defined as: SensBPOS2 LinERRPOS = 1- SensBPOS1 x 100 (%) SensBNEG2 LinERRNEG = 1- SensBNEG1 x 100 (%) (6) |VOUT(Bx) - VOUT(Q)| Bx Ratiometry Error The A1359 provides a ratiometric output. This means that the quiescent voltage output, VOUT(Q) , magnetic sensitivity, Sens, and clamp voltage, VCLPH and VCLPL, are proportional to the supply voltage, VCC . In other words, when the supply voltage increases or decreases by a certain percentage, each characteristic also increases or decreases by the same percentage. Error is the difference between the measured change in the supply voltage relative to 5 V, and the measured change in each characteristic. The ratiometric error in quiescent voltage output, RatVOUT(Q) (%), for a given supply voltage, VCC, is defined as: where: SensBx = Symmetry Sensitivity Error The magnetic sensitivity of the A1359 device is constant for any two applied magnetic fields of equal magnitude and opposite polarities. Symmetry Sensitivity Error, SymERR (%), is measured and defined as: SensBPOS x 100 (%) SymERR = 1- (10) SensBNEG where SensBx is as defined in equation 7, and BPOS and BNEG are positive and negative magnetic fields such that |BPOS| = |BNEG|. (7) and BPOSx and BNEGx are positive and negative magnetic fields, with respect to the quiescent voltage output such that BPOS2 > BPOS1 and BNEG2 > BNEG1. VOUT(Q)(VCC) / VOUT(Q)(5V) RatERRVOUT(Q) = 1- VCC / 5 V The ratiometric error in magnetic sensitivity, RatSens (%), for a given supply voltage, VCC , is defined as: Then: RatERRSens = 1- LinERR = max( |LinERRPOS | , |LinERRNEG |) (8) Clamping Range The output voltage clamps, VCLPH and VCLPL , limit the operating magnetic range of the applied field in which the device provides a linear output. The maximum positive and negative applied magnetic fields in the operating range can be calculated: VCLP(HIGH) - VOUT(Q) Sens VOUT(Q) - VCLP(LOW) |BNEG(max)| = Sens x 100 (%) (11) |BPOS(max)| = (9) Sens(VCC) / Sens(5V) VCC / 5 V x 100 (%) (12) The ratiometric error in the clamp voltages, RatVOUTCLP (%), for a given supply voltage, VCC, is defined as: RatVOUTCLP = 1- VCLP(VCC) / VCLP(5V) VCC / 5 V x 100 (%) (13) where VCLP is either VCLPH or VCLPL. Note: Equations 11 and 13 apply to the analog channel (VOUT), only. Recall that for the PWM output, the 0 G output is 50% from 4.5 to 5.5 V. However, as sensitivity is ratiometric with VCC for both analog and PWM channels, equation 12 applies to both the analog and the PWM channels.

This phenomenon is known as jitter, JitterPWM (%) , and is defined as: JitterPWM = DB(max) - DB(min) 2 VCC VUVLOLO tUVLO (14) where DB(max) and DB(min) are the maximum and minimum duty cycles, measured in 1000 PWM clock periods, in a constant applied magnetic field. Undervoltage Lockout The A1359 features an undervoltage lockout function that ensures that the device will output a valid signal when VCC is above a certain threshold, VUVLOHI , and remains valid until VCC falls below a lower threshold, VUVLOLOW . The undervoltage lockout feature provides a hysteresis of operation to eliminate indeterminate output states. The output of the A1359 is held low (GND) until VCC exceeds VUVLOHI . When VCC exceeds VUVLOHI , the device powers-up and the output provides a ratiometric output voltage proportional to the input magnetic signal, and VCC . If VCC should drop back down below VUVLOLOW for more than tuvlo after the device is powered-up, the output would be pulled low. (See figure 5.) PWM to Analog Output Mismatch When comparing the PWM output to the analog output for channel mismatch, the following equation is used to convert PWM (% D, duty cycle) to voltage (V): VPWMOUT = D(Q) + D(field) = VOUT(Q) x 20.0 %D / V + VOUT(B) x 21.0%D / V where: VUVLOHI (15) D(Q) is the quiescent PWM signal with no input field (B = 0 G), and D(field) is the PWM signal in response to the input magnetic field. In other words, the product of PWM sensitivity (%D/G) and input magnetic field (G). (See figure 6.) VPWMOUT or VOUT time Figure 5.

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 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.
