DESCRIPTION
APS11500 devices are two-wire planar Hall-effect sensor
integrated circuits (ICs) developed in accordance with
ISO 26262 :2011 (pending assessment). They include internal
diagnostics and support a functional safety level of ASIL A.
The enhanced two-wire current-mode interface provides
interconnect open/short diagnostics and adds a Safe State
to communicate diagnostic information while maintaining
compatibility with legacy two-wire systems. Two-wire sensors
are well-suited to safety applications, especially those involving
long wire harnesses.
The APS11500 product options include magnetic switch points,
temperature coefficient, hysteresis, and whether the device
responds to north or south magnetic fields (unipolar switch) or
both (bipolar latch or omnipolar switch). The response can be
matched to SmCo, NdFeB, or low-cost ferrite magnets. There is
a choice of two output current levels and either output polarity.

DESCRIPTION (continued)
Two-Wire Hall-Effect Switch
APS11500 sensors are engineered to operate in the harshest
environments with minimal external components. They are qualified
beyond the requirements of AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and will survive
extended operation at 175°C junction temperature. These monolithic
ICs include on-chip reverse-battery protection, overvoltage protection
(40 V load dump), ESD protection, overtemperature detection, and an
internal voltage regulator for operation directly from an automotive
battery bus. These integrated features reduce the end-product bill
of materials (BOM) and assembly cost.
The available SIP package with integrated discrete components
(UC) enables PCB-less applications by incorporating all of the EMC
protection components into the IC package. Other package options
include industry-standard surface-mount SOT (LH) and through-hole
SIP (UA) packages. All three packages are RoHS-compliant and
lead (Pb) free with 100% matte-tin-plated leadframes.
For situations where a functionally equivalent but factory-programmed
two-wire latch or end-of-line programmable device is preferred, refer
to the APS12400 and APS11900 device families, respectively.

APS11500
Two-Wire Hall-Effect Switch
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Functional Safety
Operation
The APS11500 was designed in accordance with the international
standard for automotive functional safety,
ISO 26262:2011 (pending assessment). This
2
product achieves an ASIL (Automotive Safety
Integrity Level) rating of ASIL A according to
the standard. The APS11500 is classified as a
SEooC (Safety Element out of Context) and
can be easily integrated into safety-critical systems requiring
higher ASIL ratings that incorporate external diagnostics or use
measures such as redundancy. Safety documentation will be
provided to support and guide the integration process. Contact
your local FAE for A2-SIL™ documentation: www.allegromicro.
com/ASIL.
The APS11500 devices are two-wire unipolar planar Hall-effect
switches. The user can select a device that respond to a north
or south magnetic field. There is a choice of two output current
levels, ICC(L1) and ICC(L2), and the user can determine which
current state is applied, ICC(L) or ICC(H), when the magnetic field
is present.
-
The APS11500 has internal diagnostics to check the voltage supply
(an undervoltage lockout regulator) and to detect overtemperature
conditions. See the Diagnostics section for more information.

APS11500
Two-Wire Hall-Effect Switch
Power-On Behavior
The APS11500 has an internal voltage regulator with undervoltage lockout. As the device powers up, it stays in the power-on
state (POS) of ICC(H) until the supply voltage exceeds VCC(UV)DIS.
After tPO, the current consumption is ICC(L) or ICC(H), according
to the magnetic field and the device configuration, as shown in
Figure 1.
Similarly, when the supply voltage decreases, the device returns
to the power on state (POS) when the supply voltage drops below
VCC(UV)EN, as shown in Figure 3.
When the device powers on in the hysteresis range (less than BOP
and higher than BRP), the output corresponds to the power-on
state. In this case, the correct state is attained after the first excursion beyond BOP or BRP.
Any value of ICC between the allowed ranges for ICC(H) and ICC(L)
indicates a general fault condition.

Diagnostic Features
When properly supplied, APS11500 always has current flowing at
a specified level: either ICC(H), ICC(L), or ISAFE. Any current outside of these narrow ranges is a fault condition. If there is a short,
current increases so that ICC > ICC(H) (max), outside the valid ICC(H)
range. If there is an open, the current lowers below the ICC(L) (min),
outside the valid output current range. In this way, connectivity
issues between the ECU and the sensor can easily be detected.
Additionally, the APS11500 has an overtemperature feature: if
the junction temperature increases beyond TSD, then the current
is reduced to ISAFE. The device current also changes to ISAFE if
there is an error in the device configuration which is checked at
power-on and after an overtemperature event.
The APS11500 allows the user to select the magnetic temperature coefficient to compensate for drifts of SmCo, NdFeB, and
ferrite magnets over temperature—as indicated in the specifications table on page 5. This compensation improves the magnetic
system performance over the entire temperature range. For
example, the magnetic field strength from ferrite decreases as the
temperature increases from 25°C to 150°C. This lower magnetic
field strength means that a lower switching threshold is required
to maintain switching at the same distance from the magnet to the
sensor. Correspondingly, higher switching thresholds are required
at cold temperatures, as low as –40°C, due to the higher magnetic
field strength from the ferrite magnet. The APS11500 compensates the switching thresholds over temperature as described
above. It is recommended that system designers evaluate their
magnetic circuit over the expected operating temperature range to
ensure the magnetic switching requirements are met.
For example, the typical ferrite compensation is –0.2%/°C.
With a 25°C temperature BOP switch point of 80 G, the switch
point changes nominally by –0.2%/°C × 80 × (150°C – 25°C) =
–20 G to 80 G – 20 G = 60 G at 150°C. And at –40°C, the switch
point changes by –0.2%/°C × 80 × (–40°C – 25°C) = 10 G to
80 G + 10 G = 90 G.

APS11500
Two-Wire Hall-Effect Switch
Applications
For the LH and UA packages, an external bypass capacitor (from
0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) should be connected (in close proximity to
the Hall element) between the supply and ground of the device
to reduce both external noise and noise generated by the chopper stabilization. Some applications may require additional EMC
immunity which is achieved with an enhanced protection circuit.
For example, increasing the bypass capacitor from 0.01 µF to
0.1 µF improves immunity to Powered ESD (ISO 10605) and
Direct Capacitive Coupling.
A series resistor and a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor is integrated into
the UC package, making it easy to achieve an EMC-robust design
with no external components or PCB required.
Note that the bypass capacitor selection directly affects the slew
rate. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the typical slew
rate with 0.1 µF bypass capacitor. A 0.01 µF bypass capacitor
slew rate is ten times faster.
Typical application circuits are shown in “Figure 5: Typical
Application Circuits” on page 16.

Two-Wire Hall-Effect Switch
Chopper Stabilization Technique
A limiting factor for switch point accuracy when using Halleffect technology is the small-signal voltage developed across
the Hall plate. This voltage is proportionally small relative to the
offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall sensor. This
makes it difficult to process the signal and maintain an accurate,
reliable output over the specified temperature and voltage range.
Chopper stabilization is a proven approach used to minimize
Hall offset.
The technique, dynamic quadrature offset cancellation, removes
key sources of the output drift induced by temperature and package stress. This offset reduction technique is based on a signal
modulation-demodulation process. “Figure 6: Model of Chopper
Stabilization Circuit (Dynamic Offset Cancellation)” illustrates
how it is implemented.
The undesired offset signal is separated from the magnetically
induced signal in the frequency domain through modulation. The
subsequent demodulation acts as a modulation process for the
offset causing the magnetically induced signal to recover its original spectrum at baseband while the DC offset becomes a highfrequency signal. Then, using a low-pass filter, the signal passes
while the modulated DC offset is suppressed. Allegro’s innovative
chopper-stabilization technique uses a high-frequency clock.
The high-frequency operation allows a greater sampling rate that
produces higher accuracy, reduced jitter, and faster signal processing. Additionally, filtering is more effective and results in a
lower noise analog signal at the sensor output. Devices such as the
APS11500 that use this approach have an extremely stable quiescent Hall output voltage, are immune to thermal stress, and have
precise recoverability after temperature cycling. This technique is
made possible through the use of a BiCMOS process which allows
the use of low offset and low noise amplifiers in combination with
high-density logic and sample-and-hold circuits.

Two-Wire Hall-Effect Switch
POWER DERATING
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature, TJ (max). Reliable operation may require derating
supplied power and/or improving the heat dissipation properties
of the application.
Thermal Resistance (junction to ambient), 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 ambient air. RθJA is dominated by the Effective Thermal Conductivity,
K, of the printed circuit board which includes adjacent devices
and board layout. Thermal resistance from the die junction to
case, RθJC, is a relatively small component of RθJA. Ambient air
temperature, TA, and air motion are significant external factors in
determining a reliable thermal operating point.
The following three equations can be used to determine operation
points for given power and thermal conditions.
PD = VIN × IIN
(1)
∆T = PD × RθJA
(2)
TJ = TA + ∆T
(3)
For example, given common conditions: TA = 25°C, VCC = 12 V,
ICC = 6 mA, and RθJA = 110°C/W for the LH package, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 6 mA = 72 mW
∆T = PD × RθJA = 72 mW × 110°C/W = 7.92°C
TJ = TA + ∆T = 25°C + 7.92°C = 32.92°C
Determining Maximum VCC
For a given ambient temperature, TA, the maximum allowable power dissipation as a function of VCC can be calculated.
PD (max) represents the maximum allowable power level without
exceeding TJ (max) at a selected RθJA and TA.
Example: VCC at TA = 150°C, package UA, using low-K PCB.
Using the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RθJA =
165°C/W, TJ (max) = 175°C, VCC (max) = 24 V, and ICC (max) =
17 mA, calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD (max).
First, using equation 3:
∆T (max) = TJ (max) – TA = 175°C – 150°C = 25°C
This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal
power dissipation. Then, from equation 2:
PD (max) = ∆T (max) ÷ RθJA = 25°C ÷ 165°C/W = 152 mW
Finally, using equation 1, solve for maximum allowable VCC for
the given conditions:
VCC (est) = PD (max) ÷ ICC (max) = 152 mW ÷ 17 mA = 8.9 V
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤ VCC (est).
If the application requires VCC > VCC(est) then RθJA must by
improved. This can be accomplished by adjusting the layout,
PCB materials, or by controlling the ambient temperature.
Determining Maximum TA
In cases where the VCC (max) level is known, and the system
designer would like to determine the maximum allowable ambient temperature TA (max), for example, in a worst-case scenario
with conditions VCC (max) = 24 V, ICC (max) = 17 mA, and RθJA
= 228°C/W for the LH package using equation 1, the largest possible amount of dissipated power is:
PD = VIN × IIN
PD = 24 V × 17 mA = 408 mW
Then, by rearranging equation 3 and substituting with equation 2:
TA (max) = TJ (max) – ΔT
TA (max) = 175°C – (408 mW × 228°C/W)
TA (max) = 175°C – 93°C = 82°C
Finally, note that the TA (max) rating of the device is 150°C and
performance is not guaranteed above this temperature for any
power level.
