A1321/A1322/A1323

Ratiometric Linear Hall Effect Sensor for High-Temperature Operation

The A132X family of linear Hall-effect sensors are optimized, sensitive, and temperature-stable. These ratiometric Hall-effect sensors provide a voltage output that
is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The A132X family has a quiescent
output voltage that is 50% of the supply voltage and output sensitivity options
of 2.5mV/G, 3.125mV/G, and 5mV/G. The features of this family of devices are
ideal for use in the harsh environments found in automotive and industrial linear
and rotary position sensing systems.

Each device has a BiCMOS monolithic circuit which integrates a Hall element,
improved temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity
drift of the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, and a rail-to-rail lowimpedance output stage.

A proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset voltage normally caused by device
overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. The high frequency
clock allows for a greater sampling rate, which results in higher accuracy and
faster signal processing capability. This technique produces devices that have an
extremely stable quiescent output voltage, are immune to mechanical stress, and
have precise recoverability after temperature cycling. Having the Hall element
and an amplifier on a single chip minimizes many problems normally associated
with low-level analog signals.
Output precision is obtained by internal gain and offset trim adjustments made at
end-of-line during the manufacturing process.
The A132X family is provided in a 3-pin single in-line package (UA) and a 3-pin
surface mount package (LH). Each package is available in a lead (Pb) free version
(suffix, T) , with a 100% matte tin plated leadframe.

Ratiometric Linear Hall Effect Sensor for High-Temperature Operation
Characteristic Definitions
Quiescent Voltage Output. In the quiescent state (no
magnetic field), the output equals one half of the supply voltage
over the operating voltage range and the operating temperature
range. Due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, there is a tolerance on the quiescent voltage output
both as a function of supply voltage and as a function of ambient
temperature. For purposes of specification, the quiescent voltage
output as a function of temperature is defined in terms of magnetic flux density, B, as:
Vout(q)() =

Vout(q)() Vout(q)(25C)

Linearity and Symmetry. The on-chip output stage

is designed to provide a linear output with a supply voltage of
5 V. Although application of very high magnetic fields will not
damage these devices, it will force the output into a non-linear
region. Linearity in percent is measured and defined as:
Lin+ =

Lin =

The stability of sensitivity as a function of temperature is

defined as:
Sens() =

Vout(q)(VCC) Vout(q)(5V)

and the percent ratiometric change in sensitivity is

defined as:

(2)

Sens() Sens(25C)

Vout(q)(V) =

Sens(V) =

Sensitivity. The presence of a south-pole magnetic field perpendicular to the package face (the branded surface) increases
the output voltage from its quiescent value toward the supply
voltage rail by an amount proportional to the magnetic field
applied. Conversely, the application of a north pole will decrease
the output voltage from its quiescent value. This proportionality
is specified as the sensitivity of the device and is defined as:
Sens =

The percent ratiometric change in the quiescent voltage output is

defined as:

(1)

This calculation yields the devices equivalent accuracy,

over the operating temperature range, in gauss (G).

Vout(B) Vout(+B)

Ratiometric. The A132X family features a ratiometric output.

The quiescent voltage output and sensitivity are proportional to
the supply voltage (ratiometric).
