A325 and Field-Programmable, Chopper-Stabilized Features and Benefits Chopper stabilization for stable switchpoints throughout operating temperature range Externally programmable operate point (through VCC pin) On-board voltage regulator for 4.2 V to 24 V operation On-chip protection against: Supply transients Output short-circuits Reverse-battery condition Package: 3-pin SOT89 (suffix LT) and 3-pin SIP (suffix UA) Not to scale Description The A325 and are field-programmable, chopperstabilized, unipolar Hall-effect switches designed for use in high-temperature applications. These devices use a chopper-stabilization technique to eliminate offset inherent in single-element devices. The A325 and are externally programmable devices. The devices have a wide range of programmability of the magnetic operate point (B OP ) while the hysteresis remains fixed. This advanced feature allows for optimization of the sensor switchpoint and can drastically reduce the effects of variations found in a production environment, such as magnet and device placement tolerances. These devices provide on-chip transient protection. A Zener clamp on the power supply protects against overvoltage conditions on the supply line. These devices also include short-circuit protection on the output. The output of the A325 switches LOW when subjected to a south-polarity magnetic field with a flux density that exceeds the threshold for B OP, and switches HIGH when the field drops below the magnetic release point, B RP. The output of the has the opposite polarity, switching HIGH in a south-polarity magnetic field that B OP, and switching LOW when the field drops below B RP.

A325 and Description (continued) The other differences in the devices are the power-on state. The A325 powers-on in the HIGH state, while the powers-on in the LOW state. Three package styles provide a magnetically optimized package for most applications. Type LT is a miniature SOT89/TO-243AA surface mount package that is thermally enhanced with an exposed ground tab, and type UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting. The packages are lead (Pb) free, with 1% matte tin plated leadframes (suffix, T).

A325 and Functional Description Chopper-Stabilized Technique The Hall sensor is based on a Hall element, a small sheet of semiconductor material in which a constant bias current flows when a constant voltage source is applied. The output takes the form of a voltage measured across the width of the Hall element, and has negligible value in the absence of a magnetic field. When a magnetic field is applied with flux lines at right angles to the current in the Hall element, a small signal voltage directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field occurs at the output of the Hall element. This small signal voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset produced at the input of the device. This makes it very difficult to process the signal and maintain an accurate, reliable output over the specified temperature and voltage range. Therefore, it is important to reduce any distortion of the signal that could be amplified when the signal is processed. Chopper stabilization is a unique approach used to minimize input offset on the Hall IC. This technique removes a key source of output drift due to temperature and mechanical stress, and produces a 3X reduction in offset in comparison to other, conventional methods. This offset reduction chopping technique is based on a signal modulation-demodulation process. The undesired offset signal is separated from the magnetically-induced signal in the frequency domain. The offset (and any low-frequency noise) component of the signal can be seen as signal distortion added after the signal modulation process has taken place. Therefore, the dc offset is not modulated and remains a low-frequency component. Consequently, the signal demodulation process acts as a modulation process for the offset, causing the magneticallyinduced signal to recover its original spectrum at baseband while the dc offset becomes a high-frequency signal. Then, the signal passes using a low-pass filter, while the modulated dc offset is suppressed. The advantage of this approach is significant offset reduction, which desensitizes the Hall IC against the effects of temperature and mechanical stress. The disadvantage is that this technique features a demodulator that uses a sample-and-hold block to store and recover the signal. This sampling process can slightly degrade the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) by producing replicas of the noise spectrum at the baseband. This degradation is a function of the ratio between the white noise spectrum and the sampling frequency. The effect of the degradation of the SNR is higher jitter, also known as signal repeatability. However, the jitter in a continuous-time device can be 5X that of the A325/.

A325 and Programming Protocol The operate switchpoint, B OP, can be field-programmed. To do so, a coded series of voltage pulses through the VCC pin is used to set bitfields in onboard registers. The effect on the device output can be monitored, and the registers can be cleared and set repeatedly until the required B OP is achieved. To make the setting permanent, bitfield-level solid state fuses are blown, and finally, a device-level fuse is blown, blocking any further coding. It is not necessary to program the release switchpoint, B RP, because the difference between B OP and B RP, referred to as the hysteresis, B HYS, is fixed. The range of values between B OP(min) and B OP(max) is scaled to 64 increments. The actual change in magnetic flux (G) represented by each increment is indicated by B RES (see the Operating Characteristics table; however, testing is the only method for verifying the resulting B OP ). For programming, the 64 increments are individually identified using 6 data bits, which are physically represented by 6 bitfields in the onboard registers. By setting these bitfields, the corresponding calibration value is programmed into the device. Three voltage levels are used in programming the device: a low voltage, V PL, a minimum required to sustain register settings; a mid-level voltage, V PM, used to increment the address counter in the device; and a high voltage, V PH, used to separate sets of V PM pulses (when short in duration) and to blow fuses (when long in duration). A fourth voltage level, essentially V, is used to clear the registers between pulse sequences. The pulse values are shown in the Programming Protocol Characteristics table and in figure 1. V PH V PM V PL T d(1) T d(p) T d() Figure 1. Pulse amplitudes and durations Additional information on device programming and programming products is available on www. allegromicro.com. Programming hardware is available for purchase, and programming software is available free of charge. Code Programming. Each bitfield must be individually set. To do so, a pulse sequence must be transmitted for each bitfield that is being set to 1. If more than one bitfield is being set to 1, all pulse sequences must be sent, one after the other, without allowing V CC to fall to zero (which clears the registers). The same pulse sequence is used to provisionally set bitfields as is used to permanently set bitfield-level fuses. The only difference is that when provisionally setting bitfields, no fuse-blowing pulse is sent at the end of the pulse sequence. t PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL CHARACTERISTICS, T A = 25ºC, unless otherwise noted Characteristic Symbol Test Conditions Min.

A325 and The pulse sequences consist of the following groups of pulses: 1. An enable sequence. 2. A bitfield address sequence. 3. When permanently setting the bitfield, a long V PH fuse-blowing pulse. (Note: Blown bit fuses cannot be reset.) 4. When permanently setting the bitfield, the level of V CC must be allowed to drop to zero between each pulse sequence, in order to clear all registers. However, when provisionally setting bitfields, V CC must be maintained at V PL between pulse sequences, in order to maintain the prior bitfield settings while preparing to set additional bitfields. Bitfields that are not set are evaluated as zeros. The bitfield-level fuses for value bitfields are never blown. This prevents inadvertently setting the bitfield to 1. Instead, blowing the devicelevel fuse protects the bitfields from being accidentally set in the future. When provisionally trying the calibration value, one pulse sequence is used, using decimal values. The sequence for setting the value 5 1 is shown in figure 2. When permanently setting values, the bitfields must be set individually, and 5 1 must be programmed as binary 11. Bit 3 is set to 1 (1 2, which is 4 1 ), then bit 1 is set to 1 (1 2, which is 1 1 ). Bit 2 is ignored, and so remains.two pulse sequences for permanently setting the calibration value 5 are shown in figure 3. The final V PH pulse is maintained for a longer period, enough to blow the corresponding bitfield-level fuse. V PH V PM V PL Enable Address Optional Monitoring Clear Try 5 1 t Figure 2.

A325 and Enabling Addressing Mode. The first segment of code is a keying sequence used to enable the bitfield addressing mode. As shown in figure 4, this segment consists of one short V PH pulse, seven or more V PM pulses, and one short V PH pulse, with no supply interruptions. This sequence is designed to prevent the device from being programmed accidentally, such as by noise on the supply line. V PH V PM V PL Minimum 7 pulses Figure 4. Addressing mode enable pulse sequence t Address Selection. After addressing mode is enabled, the target bitfield address, is indicated by a series of VPM pulses, as shown in figure 3. When provisionally trying a value, this sequence is followed by a short V PH pulse, which serves to delimit the address and set the corresponding bitfield. When permanently setting a bitfield, the V PH pulse is continued for a longer period of time, suffienct to not only set the bitfield to 1, but also to blow the bitfield fuse.

After the desired B OP calibration value is programmed, and all of the corresponding bitfield-level fuses are blown, the device-level fuse should be blown. To do so, the lock bit (bitfield address 65) should be encoded as 1 and have its fuse blown. This is done in the same manner as permanently setting the other bitfields, as shown in figure 6.

A325 and For additional general application information, visit the Allegro MicroSystems Web site at www. allegromicro.com. Application Information Typical Application Circuit It is strongly recommended that an external ceramic bypass capacitor, C BYP, in the range of.1 μf to.1 μf be connected between the VCC pin and the supply and GND pin to reduce both external noise and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization technique. (The diagram at the right shows C BYP at.1 μf.) C BYP should be installed so that the traces that connect it to the A325/ are no greater than 5 mm in length. (For programming the device, the capacitor may be further away from the device, including mounting on the board used for programming the device.) The series resistor R S, in combination with C BYP creates a filter for EMI pulses. (Additional information on EMC is provided on the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.) R S will have a drop of approximately 8 mv. This must be taken into consideration when determining the minimum VCC requirement for the A325/. The pull-up resistor, R L, should be chosen to limit the current through the output transistor; do not exceed the maximum continuous output current of the device.

A325 and Power Derating The device must be operated below the maximum junction temperature of the device, T J(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 T J. (Thermal data is also available on the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.) The Package Thermal Resistance, R JA, 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, R JC, is relatively small component of R JA. Ambient air temperature, T A, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by overmolding. The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, P D ), can be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental relationships used to estimate T J, at P D. P D = V IN I IN (1) T = P D R JA (2) Example: Reliability for V CC at T A = 15 C, package UA, using minimum-k PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: R JA = 165 C/W, T J(max) = 165 C, V CC(max) = 24 V, and I CC(max) = 1 ma. Calculate the maximum allowable power level, P D(max). First, invert equation 3: T max = T J(max) T A = 165 C 15 C = 15 C This provides the allowable increase to T J resulting from internal power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2: P D(max) = T max R JA = 15 C 165 C/W = 91 mw Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: V CC(est) = P D(max) I CC(max) = 91 mw 1 ma = 9 V The result indicates that, at T A, the application and device can dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages V CC(est). Compare V CC(est) to V CC(max). If V CC(est) V CC(max), then reliable operation between V CC(est) and V CC(max) requires enhanced R JA. If V CC(est) V CC(max), then operation between V CC(est) and V CC(max) is reliable under these conditions. T J = T A + ΔT (3) For example, given common conditions such as: T A = 25 C, V CC = 12 V, I CC = 4 ma, and R JA = 165 C/W, then: P D = V CC I CC = 12 V 4 ma = 48 mw T = P D R JA = 48 mw 165 C/W = 8 C T J = T A + T = 25 C + 8 C = 33 C A worst-case estimate, P D(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (V CC(max), I CC(max) ), without exceeding T J(max), at a selected R JA and T A. 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 1536 Worcester, Massachusetts 1615-36 (58) 853-5 13
