FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
• Flexible and easy-to-use sensor for motors/encoders
• ISO 26262:2011 / ASIL A functional safety compliance
• 2D magnetic sensing via planar and vertical Hall elements
□□ Quadrature independent of magnet pole pitch and air
gap—no target optimization required
□□ Works in almost any orientation to the target (XY, ZX,
and ZY options)
• Reduces accumulation of lost counts/pulses
□□ System can restore correct state after power-cycling
(-P option)
• Dual outputs of quadrature or speed/direction signals
• High magnetic sensitivity
• Optimized for applications with regulated power rails
□□ Operation from 2.8 to 5.5 V
• Automotive grade/qualified per AEC-Q100
□□ TJ up to 175°C
□□ Output short-circuit protection
□□ Resistant to physical stress
• Small size
The APS12625 and APS12626 integrated circuits are dual
ultrasensitive Hall-effect latches optimized for use with ring
magnets. They feature both vertical and planar Hall elements
with sensing axes that are orthogonal to one another, providing
90° of phase separation. This phase separation is inherently
independent of magnet pole spacing and air gap. No target
optimization is required, making them extremely flexible and
easy to use.
For example, the ring magnet pole-pitch can be changed without
having to modify the sensor position or other mechanical design
details. Additionally, XY, ZX, and ZY options are available to
work in almost any orientation to the target. The APS12625
features Speed and Direction outputs, while the APS12626 has
quadrature outputs (Channel A/B).
A unique feature allows the host system to restore the correct
state after power-cycling the device (-P option). This reduces
the potential accumulation of lost counts/pulses when the device
wakes up with one or more sensors in its hysteresis region.

2D Hall-Effect Speed and Direction Sensor ICs
DESCRIPTION (continued)
On a single silicon chip, these devices include: three Hall plates
(one planar and two vertical), a multiplexer, a small-signal
amplifier, chopper stabilization, a Schmitt trigger, and two NMOS
output transistors which can sink up to 10 mA continuously. They
operate from a regulated supply voltage of 2.8 to 5.5 V and have
been qualified beyond the requirements of AEC-Q100 grade 0 for
operation up to 175°C junction temperature.
The small geometries of the BiCMOS process allow these devices
to be offered in an ultrasmall package. Package designator “LH”
indicates a modified SOT23-W surface-mount package. This
package is RoHS compliant and lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte
tin leadframe plating.

2D Hall-Effect Speed and Direction Sensor ICs
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Removal of the magnetic field will leave the device output
latched on if the last crossed switchpoint is BOP, or latched off if
the last crossed switchpoint is BRP.
V+
Switch to High
Outputs
The Speed (SPD) output is the XOR of the output of the two
active Hall elements, providing two times the resolution of a
single channel, while the direction (DIR) output provides the
direction of the target. The direction output, DIR, is always
updated before SPD, according to tdir-to-speed. It is updated on
every transition of either Hall sensor, allowing the use of updown counters without loss of pulses.
QUADRATURE
The APS12626 offers individual outputs of the two active Hall
sensors, referred to here as Channel A and Channel B. The Output
Option Table indicates which Hall sensing element corresponds
to “Channel A” and “Channel B” in each configuration.

With dual-planar Hall sensors, the ring magnet must be properly
designed and optimized for the physical Hall element spacing
(distance) to have the two channels in quadrature or 90 degrees
out of phase. With the APS12625/6, which uses one planar and
one vertical Hall-effect sensing element, or two vertical Halleffect sensing elements perpendicular to one another, no target
optimization is required. When the face of the IC is facing the
ring magnet, the planar Hall senses the magnet poles and the
vertical Hall senses the transition between poles; therefore, the
two channels will inherently be in quadrature, regardless of the
ring-magnet pole spacing. The same is true in the dual-vertical
Hall configuration, with the vertical Hall element facing the magnet poles sensing the magnet IC poles and the other vertical Hall
element sensing the transitions between poles. The quadrature
relationship allows for the direction signal to be appropriately
updated.
The Channel A and Channel B outputs of the APS12626 switch
low (turn on) when the corresponding Hall element is presented
with a perpendicular south magnetic field of sufficient strength
(>BOP). The device outputs switch high (turn off) when the
strength of a perpendicular north magnetic field exceeds the
release point (BRP). The difference in the magnetic operate and
release points is the hysteresis (BHYS) of the device. See Figure 1.

On the horizontal axis, the B+ direction indicates increasing

indicates decreasing south polarity field strength (including
the case of increasing north polarity)
This built-in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even
in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical
noise. The outputs will power-on in the high output state, even
when powering-on in the hysteresis region, between BOP and BRP
for both versions of the device, with and without the power-on

Operation
With dual-planar Hall sensors, the ring magnet must be properly
designed and optimized for the physical Hall spacing (distance)
for the outputs of the two latches to be in quadrature, or 90
degrees out of phase. With the APS12625 and APS12626, no
target optimization is required. When the face of the IC is facing
the ring magnet, the planar Hall senses the magnet poles and the
vertical Hall senses the transition between poles; therefore, the
two channels will inherently be in quadrature, regardless of the
ring-magnet pole spacing.
Figure 2 shows a ring magnet optimized for the E1-to-E2 spacing
dual
planar
of a dual-planar sensor, resulting in quadrature, or 90 degrees
phase separation between channels. This same target also results
in quadrature for the 2D sensing APS12625/6. However when
a different ring magnet is used which is not optimized for the
E1-to-E2 spacing, the dual-planar sensor exhibits diminished
phase separation, making signal processing the outputs into speed
and direction less robust. Using a different ring-magnet geometry
has no effect on the APS12625/6, and the two channels remain in
quadrature (see Figure 3).
The relationship of the various signals and the typical system timing is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 5: Output signal updating with respect to the channel sampling
The two active channels are multiplexed with a typical 20 µs
sampling period per channel. If the magnetic signal crosses the
respective BOP or BRP of a particular channel, that channel’s
output will not be updated until the end of its sampling period.
If the signal crosses the thresholds while the alternate channel
is sampling, the update will occur at the end of the next
sampling period (as long as the signal does not cross back over
the thresholds). This is illustrated in Figure 5. The sampling
error introduced by the multiplexing increases with magnetic
input frequency, which can affect the output duty cycle and
phase separation between outputs. Contact your Allegro field
applications engineer (FAE) for more information regarding
suitability to high frequency applications.

APS12625/6 Sensor and Relationship to Target
There are no output options for the APS12625; it is always
Speed/Direction. The APS12626 has A/B outputs. Additionally,
each device is available in 3 different sensing configurations,
with X-axis vertical Hall and Y-axis vertical Hall active, with
Z-axis planar Hall and the X-axis vertical Hall active, or with
the Z-axis planar Hall and the Y-axis vertical Hall active. This
offers incredible flexibility for positioning the IC within various
applications.
Axes option B (Z-X) supports having the IC positioned with
the face of the package facing the ring magnet, and the axis of
rotation (Figure 7a) lengthwise along the package body, or with
either of the non-leaded sides of the package facing the ring
magnet (Figure 7b).
Axes option A (X-Y) supports having the IC positioned with the
face of the package in-plane with the ring magnet from either the
leadless (Figure 6a) or leaded (Figure 6b) sides of the package.
Figure 7a
Figure 7b
Axes option C (Z-Y) supports the traditional configuration with
the face of the package facing the ring magnet (Figure 8a), with the
axis of rotation going across the leads, or with either of the leaded
sides of the package facing the ring magnet (Figure 8b).

Temperature Coefficient and Magnet Selection
The APS12625/6 allows the user to select the magnetic temperature coefficient to compensate for the drift of SmCo 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 APS12625/6 compensate
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 –0.17%/°C.
With a 25°C temperature BOP switchpoint of 25 G, the
switchpoint changes nominally by –0.17%/°C × 25 × (150°C
– 25°C) = –5.3 G to 25 G – 5.3 G = 19.7 G at 150°C.
And at –40°C, the switchpoint changes by –0.17%/°C ×
25 × (–40°C – 25°C) = 2.8 G to 25 G + 2.8 G = 27.8 G.

If the desired power-on state is high, the user should not input a

restored to the desired state. The start-up flow for quadrature outputs (APS12626) is shown in Figure 11, and the flow for speed
and direction outputs (APS12625) is shown in Figure 12.

When the sensor powers on, each channel assumes an output
state based on the input magnetic field present at the time, unless
the field level is within the hysteresis band. In that case (field
within hysteresis band), the output can be forced low externally

The forcing signal needs to be provided for more than 100 µs, the

state of each channel will be copied by the sensor.
This allows setting a wake-up state that is consistent with the
shutdown state, thus avoiding errors in the total pulse count. If
the target starts moving before t > tPOS_input, the desired wake-up

once either of the output channels has an output transition (i.e.
sufficient target movement).

with the international standard for automotive
functional safety, ISO 26262:2011. This
product achieves an ASIL (Automotive Safety
Integrity Level) rating of ASIL A according to the standard.
The APS12625/6 is classified as a SEOoC (Safety Element

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 APS12625/6 has internal diagnostics to check the voltage
supply (an undervoltage lockout regulator).
An external bypass capacitor must be connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor) between the supply and ground of the
device to guarantee correct performance and to reduce noise from
internal circuitry. As shown in Figure 13, a 0.1 µF capacitor is
typical. If the application requires additional EMC protection,
additional components are suggested in gray in the same figure.

2D Hall-Effect Speed and Direction Sensor ICs
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 proven
approach used to minimize Hall offset on the chip.
The 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 modulation-demodulation process. The undesired offset signal is separated from the magnetic field-induced
signal in the frequency domain through modulation.
The chopper stabilization technique uses a high frequency clock,
generally at hundreds of kilohertz. A sample-and-hold technique
is used for demodulation, where the sampling is performed at
twice the chopper 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.
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 signal then can pass through
a low-pass filter, while the modulated DC offset is suppressed.

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 website.)
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.
A worst-case estimate (PD(max)) represents the maximum allowable power level (VDD(max), IDD(max)), without exceeding TJ(max),
at a selected RθJA and TA.
Example: Reliability for VDD at TA = 150°C, package LH-5,
using low-K PCB.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RθJA = 124°C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VDD(max) = 5.5 V, and
IDD(max) = 4.5 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 ÷ 124°C/W = 121 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
PD = VIN × IIN
(1)
VDD(est) = PD(max) ÷ IDD(max)
∆T = PD × RθJA (2)
VDD(est) = 121 mW ÷ 4.5 mA
TJ = TA + ∆T
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA = 25°C,
VDD = 5 V, IDD = 3 mA, and RθJA = 124°C/W for the LH-5 package, then:
PD = VDD × IDD = 5 V × 3 mA = 15 mW
∆T = PD × RθJA = 15 mW × 124°C/W = 1.9°C
VDD(est) = 26.9 V
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤ VDD(est).
Compare VDD(est) to VDD(max). If VDD(est) ≤ VDD(max), then reliable operation between VDD(est) and VDD(max) requires enhanced
RθJA. If VDD(est) ≥ VDD(max), then operation between VDD(est) and
VDD(max) is reliable under these conditions.
TJ = TA + ∆T = 25°C + 1.9°C = 26.9°C
