A1140/41/42/43
Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall-Effect Switches
The A1140, A1141, A1142, and A1143 devices are sensitive, two-wire, unipolar, Hall effect switches that are factory-programmed at end-of-line to optimize magnetic switchpoint accuracy. These devices are produced on the Allegro MicroSystems advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication process, which implements a patented, high-frequency, chopper-stabilization technique that achieves magnetic stability and eliminates the offsets that are inherent in single-element devices exposed to harsh application environments. Commonly found in a number of automotive applications, the A1140-43 family of devices are utilized to sense: seat track position, seat belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift selector position. Two-wire unipolar switches are particularly advantageous in price-sensitive applications, because they require one less wire than the more traditional open-collector output switches. Additionally, the system designer gains inherent diagnostics because output current normally flows in either of two narrowly-specified ranges. Any output current level outside of these two ranges is a fault condition. The A1140-43 family of devices also features on-chip transient protection, and a Zener clamp to protect against overvoltage conditions on the supply line. The output currents of the A1141 and A1143 switch HIGH in the presence of a south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength; and switch LOW otherwise, including when there is no significant magnetic field present. The A1140 and A1142 have inverted output current levels: switching LOW in the presence of a south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength, and HIGH otherwise. The devices also differ in their specified LOW current supply levels. All family members are offered in two package styles: SOT-23W, a miniature lowprofile package for surface-mount applications (suffix –LH), and TO-92, threelead ultra-mini Single Inline Package (SIP) for through-hole mounting (suffix –UA). Field-programmable versions are also available. Refer to: A1180, A1181, A1182, and A1183.

Functional Description
Operation The output, ICC, of the A1140 and A1142 devices switch low after the magnetic field at the Hall sensor exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced to below the release point threshold, BRP, the device output goes high. The differences between the magnetic operate and release point is called the hysteresis of the device, BHYS. This builtin hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. The A1141 and A1143 devices switch with opposite polarity for similar BOP and BRP values, in comparison to the A1140 and A1142 (see figure 1).

Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall Effect Switches
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. 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. The patented 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 modulationdemodulation 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 fieldinduced signal to recover its original spectrum at baseband, while the dc offset becomes a high-frequency signal. The magneticsourced signal then can pass through a low-pass filter, while the modulated dc offset is suppressed. The chopper stabilization technique uses a 200 kHz high frequency clock. The chopping occurs on each clock edge, resulting in a 400 kHz chop frequency. 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. This process is illustrated in figure 2. 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 families with lower sensitivity to jitter. For more information on those devices, contact your Allegro sales representative.

Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall Effect Switches Application Information
For additional general application information, visit the Allegro MicroSystems Web site at www. allegromicro.com.
Typical Application Circuit The A114x family of devices must be protected by an external bypass capacitor, CBYP, connected between the supply, VCC, and the ground, GND, of the device. CBYP reduces both external noise and the noise generated by the chopper-stabilization function. As shown in figure 3, a 0.01 µF capacitor is typical. Installation of CBYP must ensure that the traces that connect it to the A114x pins are no greater than 5 mm in length. All high-frequency interferences conducted along the supply lines are passed directly to the load through CBYP, and it serves only to protect the A114x internal circuitry. As a result, the load ECU (electronic control unit) must have sufficient protection, other than CBYP, installed in parallel with the A114x. A series resistor on the supply side, RS (not shown), in combination with CBYP, creates a filter for EMI pulses. (Additional information on EMC is provided on the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.) When determining the minimum VCC requirement of the A114x device, the voltage drops across RS and the ECU sense resistor, RSENSE, must be taken into consideration. The typical value for RSENSE is approximately 100 Ω.

Power Derating The device must be operated below the maximum junction temperature of the device, TJ(max). 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, RθJA, 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, RθJC, is relatively small component of RθJA. 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 × IIN ∆T = PD × RθJA TJ = TA + ∆T (1) (2) (3) Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package UA, using minimum-K PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RθJA = 165°C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and ICC(max) = 17 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 ÷ RθJA = 15°C ÷ 165 °C/W = 91 mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 91 mW ÷ 17 mA = 5 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 RθJA. 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= 25°C, VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then: PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW ∆T = PD × RθJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C TJ = TA + ∆T = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RθJA and TA.
