This ratiometric Hall-effect sensor provides a voltage output
that is proportional to the applied magnetic field and features
a quiescent voltage output of 50% of the supply voltage.
Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element,
offset and sensitivity trim circuitry to correct for the variation
in the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, and a
proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique.

Undervoltage Lockout. The A1304 provides an undervoltage
lockout feature which ensures that the device outputs a VOUT
signal only when VCC is above certain thresholds . The undervoltage lockout feature provides a hysteresis of operation to eliminate
indeterminate output states.
The output of the A1304 is held low (GND) until VCC exceeds
the VCC rising UVLO reset threshold. After that , the device
VOUT output is enabled, providing a ratiometric output voltage that is proportional to the input magnetic signal and VCC . If
VCC should drop back down below the VCC falling UVLO trip
threshold after the device is powered up, the output would be
pulled low (see Figure 4) until VCC rising UVLO reset threshold
is reached again and VOUT would be reenabled.

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 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 fieldinduced 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 mechanical
stress related offset, this novel technique also reduces the amount
of thermal noise in the Hall sensor IC 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.
