New applications for linear output Hall-effect sensors, such
as displacement and angular position, require higher accuracy
and smaller package sizes. The Allegro A1318 and A1319
linear Hall-effect sensor ICs have been designed specifically to
meet both requirements. These temperature-stable devices are
available in both surface-mount and through hole packages.
The accuracy of each device is enhanced via end-of-line
optimization. Each device features non-volatile memory to
optimize device sensitivity and the quiescent voltage output
(QVO: output in the absence of a magnetic field) for a given
application or circuit. This A1318 and A1319 optimized
performance is sustained across the full operating temperature
range by programming the temperature coefficient for both
sensitivity and QVO at Allegro end-of-line test.
These ratiometric Hall-effect sensor ICs provide a voltage
output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The
quiescent voltage output is adjusted around 50% of the supply
voltage.
The features of these linear devices make them ideal for
use in automotive and industrial applications requiring high
accuracy, and operate across an extended temperature range,
–40°C to 150°C.
Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element,
temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic
sensitivity drift of the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier,
a clamped low-impedance output stage, and a proprietary dynamic
offset cancellation technique.
The A1318 and A1319 sensor ICs are offered in two package styles.
The LH is a SOT-23W style, miniature, low profile package for
surface-mount applications. The UA is a 3-pin, ultra-mini, single
inline package (SIP) for through-hole mounting. Both packages are
lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
