A1128 Highly Programmable Hall-Effect Switch FEATURES AND BENEFITS DESCRIPTION *Chopper stabilization for stable switchpoints throughout operating temperature range *Externally programmable: Operate point (through the VCC pin) Output polarity Output fall time for reduced EMI in automotiveapplications *On-board voltage regulator for 3 to 24V operation *On-chip protection against: Supply transients Output short-circuits Reverse battery condition The A1128 is a field-programmable, unipolar Hall-effect switch designed for use in high-temperature applications. This device uses a chopper-stabilization technique to eliminate offset inherent in single-element devices. The devices are externally programmable. A wide range of programmability is available on the magnetic operate point, BOP, while the hysteresis remains fixed. This advanced feature allows optimization of the sensor IC switchpoint and can drastically reduce the effects of mechanical placement tolerances found in end-use production environments. A proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset voltage, which is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. Having the Hall element and amplifier in a single chip minimizes many problems normally associated with low-level analog signals.

Typical Application Circuit CHOPPER STABILIZATION TECHNIQUE When using Hall-effect technology, a limiting factor for switch point 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 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.

Switch On Switch On VOUT at the Hall sensor IC exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced to below the release point threshold, BRP, the device output switches on. Switch Off When the Output Polarity bit is not set (POL = 0), the A1128 output switches on after the magnetic field at the Hall sensor IC exceeds the operate point threshold, BOP. When the magnetic field is reduced to below the release point threshold, BRP , the device output switches off. The difference between the magnetic operate and release points is called the hysteresis of the device, BHYS.

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 8 A1128 Highly Programmable Hall-Effect Switch PROGRAMMING GUIDELINES OVERVIEW Programming is accomplished by sending a series of input voltage pulses serially through the VCC (supply) pin of the device. A unique combination of different voltage level pulses controls the internal programming logic of the device to select a desired programmable parameter and change its value. There are three voltage levels that must be taken into account when programming. These levels are referred to as high (VPH), mid (VPM), and low (VPL). The A1128 features three programmable modes, Try mode, Blow mode, and Read mode: *In Try mode, programmable parameter values are set and measured simultaneously. A parameter value is stored temporarily, and reset after cycling the supply voltage. available on the Allegro website On-line Store. The manual for that kit is available for download free of charge, and provides additional information on programming these devices. (Note: This kit is not recommended for production purposes.) DEFINITION OF TERMS Register The section of the programming logic that controls the choice of programmable modes and parameters. Bit Field The internal fuses unique to each register, represented as a binary number. Changing the bit field settings of a particular register causes its programmable parameter to change, based on the internal programming logic. tACTIVE *In Blow mode, the value of a programmable parameter may be permanently set by blowing solid-state fuses internal to the device. Device locking is also accomplished in this mode. Supply Voltage, VCC *In Read mode, each bit may be verified as blown or not blown. The programming sequence is designed to help prevent the device from being programmed accidentally; for example, as a result of noise on the supply line. Note that, for all programming modes, no parameter programming registers are accessible after the devicelevel LOCK bit is set. The only function that remains accessible is the overall Fuse Checking feature.

Cycling the supply is used to clear the programming settings in Try mode. Programming Procedure Programming involves selection of a register and mode, and then setting values for parameters in the register for evaluation or fuse blowing. Figure 8 provides an overview state diagram. REGISTER SELECTION Each programmable parameter can be accessed through a specific register. To select a register, from the Initial state, a sequence of voltage pulses consisting of one VPH pulse, one VPM pulse, and then a unique combination of VPH and VPM pulses, is applied serially to the VCC pin (with no VCC supply interruptions). This sequence of pulses is called the key, and uniquely identifies each register. An example register selection key is shown in figure 5. To simplify Try mode, the A1128 provides a set of four virtual When addressing a parameter in Try mode, the bit field address (code) defaults to the value 1, on the falling edge of the final register selection key VPH pulse (see figure 6). A complete example is shown figure 10. Note that, in the four BOP selection virtual registers, after the maximum code is entered, the next VPM pulse wraps back to the beginning of the register, and selects code 0. VPM VPL GND Figure 5. Example of Try mode register selection pulses, for the BOP Negative Trim, Up-Counting register. VPH VCC VCC VPH VPM Code 2n -1 Blow Pulse A high voltage pulse of sufficient duration to blow the addressed fuse. TRY MODE In Try mode, the bit field addressing is accomplished by applying a series of VPM pulses to the VCC pin of the device, as shown in figure 6. Each pulse increases the total bit field value of the selected parameter, increasing by one on the falling edge of each additional VPM pulse. When addressing a bit field in Try mode, the number of VPM pulses is represented by a decimal number called a code. Addressing activates the corresponding fuse locations in the given bit field by increasing the binary value of an internal DAC, up to the maximum possible code. As the value of the bit field code increases, the value of the programmable parameter changes. Measurements can be taken after each VPM pulse to determine if the desired result for the programmable parameter has been reached. Cycling the supply voltage resets all the locations in the bit field that have un-blown fuses to their initial states. This should also be done before selection of a different register in Try mode. Code 2n -2 Fuse Blowing Applying a high voltage pulse of sufficient duration to permanently set an addressed bit by blowing a fuse internal to the device. Once a bit (fuse) has been blown, it cannot be reset. MODE SELECTION The same physical registers are used for all programming modes. To distinguish Blow mode and Read mode, when selecting the registers an additional pulse sequence consisting of eleven VPM pulses followed by one VPH pulse is added to the key. The combined register and mode keys are shown in table 3. Code 3 Addressing Increasing the bit field code of a selected register by serially applying a pulse train through the VCC pin of the device. Each parameter can be measured during the addressing process, but the internal fuses must be blown before the programming code (and parameter value) becomes permanent. Code 2 Code The number used to identify the combination of fuses activated in a bit field, expressed as the decimal equivalent of the binary value. The LSB of a bit field is denoted as code 1, or bit 0. registers, one for each combination of: BOP selection (BOPSEL), BOP polarity (BOPPOL), and a facility for transiting BOP magnitude values in an increasing or decreasing sequence. These registers also allow wrapping back to the beginning of the register after transiting the register. Code 1 Key A series of voltage pulses used to select a register or mode. VPL GND Figure 6. Try mode bit field addressing pulses. Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 10 A1128 Highly Programmable Hall-Effect Switch The four BOP selecting virtual registers allow the programmer to adjust the BOP parameter for use in north or south magnetic fields. In addition, values can be traversed from low to high, or from high to low. Figure 12 shows the relationship between the BOP parameter and the different Try mode registers. Note: See the Output Polarity section for information about setting the POL bit before using Try mode. The FALL and POL fields are in the same register (FALL is bits 1:0, and POL is bit 2). Therefore, in Try mode both can be programmed simultaneously by adding the codes for the two parameters, and send the sum as the code. For example, sending code 7 (111) sets FALL to 3 (x11) and sets POL (1xx). BLOW MODE After the required code is determined for a given parameter, its value can be set permanently by blowing individual fuses in the appropriate register bit field. Blowing is accomplished by selecting the register and mode selection key, followed by the appropriate bit field address, and ending the sequence with a Blow pulse. The Blow mode selection key is a sequence of eleven VPM pulses followed by one VPH pulse. The Blow pulse consists of a VPH pulse of sufficient duration, tBLOW, to permanently set an addressed bit by blowing a fuse internal to the device. The device power must be cycled after each individual fuse is blown. Due to power requirements, a 0.1 F blowing capacitor, CBLOW, must be mounted between the VCC pin and the GND pin during programming, to ensure enough current is available to blow fuses. If programming in the application, CBYPASS (see figure 1) can serve the same purpose. The fuse for each bit in the bit field must be blown individually. The A1128 built-in circuitry allows only one fuse at a time to be blown. During Blow mode, the bit field can be considered a "onehot" shift register. Table 2 illustrates how to relate the number of VPM pulses to the binary and decimal value for Blow mode bit field addressing. It should be noted that the simple relationship between the number of VPM pulses and the required code is: 2n = Code, where n is the number of VPM pulses, and the bit field has an initial state of decimal code 1 (binary 00000001). To correctly blow the required fuses, the code representing the required parameter value must be translated to a binary number. For example, as shown in figure 7, decimal code 5 is equivalent to the binary number 101. Therefore bit 2 must be addressed and blown, the device power supply cycled, and then bit 0 must be addressed and blown. The order of blowing bits, however, is not important. Blowing bit 0 first, and then bit 2 is acceptable. A complete example is shown in figure 11. Note: After blowing, the programming is not reversible, even after cycling the supply power. Although a register bit field fuse cannot be reset after it is blown, additional bits within the same register can be blown at any time until the device is locked. For example, if bit 1 (binary 10) has been blown, it is still possible to blow bit 0. The end result would be binary 11 (decimal code 3). LOCKING THE DEVICE After the required code for each parameter is programmed, the device can be locked to prevent further programming of any parameters. To do so, perform the following steps: 1. Ensure that the CBLOW capacitor is mounted. 2. Select the Output/Lock Bit register key. 3. Select Blow mode selection key. 4. Address bit 4 (10000) by sending four VPM pulses. 5. Send one Blow pulse, at IPP and SRBLOW, and sustain it for tBLOW. 6. Delay for a tLOW interval, then power-down. 7. Optionally check all fuses. Table 2.

The fuse checking feature is enabled by using the Fuse Checking registers, and while in Try mode, applying the codes shown in table 3. The register is only valid in Try mode and is available before or after the programming LOCK bit is set. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES The additional guidelines in this section should be followed to ensure the proper behavior of these devices: *The power supply used for programming must be capable of delivering at least VPH and 175 mA. *Be careful to observe the tLOW delay time before powering down the device after blowing each bit. *Set the LOCK bit (only after all other parameters have been programmed and validated) to prevent any further programming of the device. Selecting the Fuse Threshold High register checks that all blown fuses are properly blown. Selecting the Fuse Threshold Low register checks all un-blown fuses are properly intact. The supply current, ICC, increases by 250 A if a marginal fuse is detected. If all fuses are correctly blown or fully intact, there will be no change in supply current. READ MODE The A1128 features a Read mode that allows the status of each programmable fuse to be read back individually. The status, blown or not blown, of the addressed fuse is determined by monitoring the state of the VOUT pin. A complete example is shown in figure 9. OUTPUT POLARITY When selecting the BOP registers in Try mode, the output polarity is determined by the value of the Output Polarity bit (POL). The default value is POL = 0 (fuse un-blown). For applications that require the output states defined by POL = 1 (see Operating Characteristics table), it is recommended to first permanently blow the POL bit by selecting the Output / Lock bit register, and code4. The output is then defined by POL=1 when selecting the BOP Try mode registers. See table 3 for parameter details. Read mode uses the same register selection keys as Blow mode (see table 3), allowing direct addressing of the individual fuses in the BOPPOL and BOPSEL registers (do not inadvertently send a Blow pulse while in Read mode). After sending the register and mode selection keys, that is, after the falling edge of the final VPH pulse in the key, the first bit (the LSB) is selected. Each additional VPM pulse addresses the next bit in the selected register, up Register (and Mode) Selection Key Bit Field (Fuse) Address Codes VPM 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 3 Bit 4 Bit 5 Bit 6 Bit 7 Bit 3 Blown Bit 4 Blown Bit 5 Un-Blown Bit 6 Blown Bit 7 Un-Blown Don't Care Bit 2 Un-Blown VPM Bit 1 Un-Blown VPH Bit 0 VPL GND VOUT 7 Bit 0 Blown VCC VPH VPL Fuse intact Fuse blown GND Read-out on VOUT pin Figure 9.

In this example, the code (blown fuses) is 20 + 23 + 24 + 26 = 89 (0101 1001). After each address pulse is sent, the voltage on the VOUT pin will be at GND for blown fuses and at VCC (at VPL or VPM) for un-blown fuses.

Read mode is available only before the LOCK bit has been set. (the status of the Output Polarity bit, POL, does not affect Read mode output values, allowing POL to be tested also). If the output state is high, the fuse can be considered un-blown. During Read mode VOUT must be pulled high using a pull-up resistor (see RLOAD in the Typical Application Circuit diagram). After the final VPH key pulse, and after each VPM address pulse, if VOUT is low, the corresponding fuse can be considered blown Bit Field Address Codes Register (and Mode) Selection Key 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Code 7 Code 8 Code 9 Code 10 VPL GND 10 11 Code 12 2 Code 11 1 Code 6 4 Code 5 3 Code 4 2 Code 3 1 Code 2 VPM Code 1 VCC VPH Figure 10.

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 15 A1128 Highly Programmable Hall-Effect Switch Magnetic Field Intensity, B (G) BOP can be set to any value within the range allowed by the BOPSEL registers. This includes switchpoints of south or north polarity, and switchpoints at or near the zero crossing point for B. However, switching is recommended only within the Programmable BOP Range, specified in the Operating Characteristics table. B+ (south) BOP(max) BOP Setpoint 0 BOP(min) B- (north) 0 Trimming of BOP is typically done in two stages. In the first stage, BOP is adjusted temporarily using the Try mode programming features, to find the fuse value that corresponds to the optimum BOP. After a value is determined, then it can be permanently set using the Blow mode features. As an aid to programming the A1128 has several options available in Try Mode for adjusting the BOP parameter. As shown in figure 12, these allow trimming of BOP for operation in north or south polarity magnetic fields. In addition the BOP parameter can either trim-up, start at the BOP minimum value and increase to the maximum value, or trim-down, starting at the BOP maximum value and decreasing to the minimum value. Magnetic Field Intensity, B (G) B OP SELECTION The A1128 allows accurate trimming of the magnetic operate point, BOP , within the application. This programmable feature reduces effects due to mechanical placement tolerances and improves performance when used in proximity or vane sensing applications.

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 16 A1128 Highly Programmable Hall-Effect Switch 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, RJA, 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, RJC, is relatively small component of RJA. 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. PD = VIN x IIN (1) T = PD x RJA(2) TJ = TA + T(3) Example: Reliability for VCC at TA=150C, package UA, using a single-layer PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RJA=165 C/W, TJ(max) =165C, VCC(max) =24V, and ICC(max) = 5.5 mA. Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max) . First, invert equation 3: Tmax = TJ(max) - TA = 165C-150C = 15C This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2: PD(max) = Tmax/RJA =15C/165 C/W= 91mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: VCC(est) = PD(max) /ICC(max) = 91 mW/5.5mA= 16.5 V The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages VCC(est) . Compare VCC(est) to VCC(max) . If VCC(est) VCC(max) , then reliable operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires enhanced RJA. If VCC(est) VCC(max) , then operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions. For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25C, VIN = 12V, IIN = 4 mA, and RJA = 140 C/W, then: PD = VIN x IIN = 12 V x 4 mA = 48 mW T = PD x RJA = 48 mW x 140 C/W = 7C TJ = TA + T = 25C + 7C = 32C A worst-case estimate, PD(max) , represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max) , at a selected RJA and TA.
