High-Precision Programmable Linear Hall-Effect
Sensor Family
Release Note: Revision bars indicate significant
changes to the previous edition.
1. Introduction
The HAL82x is a new member of the Micronas family
of programmable linear Hall sensors. As an extension
to the HAL 8x5, it offers an improved temperature per-
formance, enhanced wiring failure detection and a 14-
bit multiplexed analog data output. It is possible to pro-
gram different sensors which are in parallel to the
same supply voltage individually.
The HAL82x is an universal magnetic field sensor with
a linear output based on the Hall effect. The IC can be
used for angle or distance measurements if combined
with a rotating or moving magnet. The major charac-
teristics like magnetic field range, sensitivity, output
quiescent voltage (output voltage at B = 0 mT), and
output voltage range are programmable in a non-vola-
tile memory. The sensor has a ratiometric output char-
acteristic, which means that the output voltage is pro-
portional to the magnetic flux and the supply voltage.
The HAL82x features a temperature-compensated
Hall plate with choppered offset compensation, an A/D
converter, digital signal processing, a D/A converter
with output driver, an EEPROM memory with redun-
dancy and lock function for the calibration data, an
EEPROM for customer serial number, a serial inter-
face for programming the EEPROM, and protection
devices at all pins. The internal digital signal process-
ing is of great benefit because analog offsets, temper-
ature shifts, and mechanical stress do not degrade the
sensor accuracy.
The HAL82x is programmable by modulating the sup-
ply voltage. No additional programming pin is needed.
The easy programmability allows a 2-point calibration
by adjusting the output voltage directly to the input sig-
nal (like mechanical angle, distance, or current). Indi-
vidual adjustment of each sensor during the cus-
tomer’s manufacturing process is possible. With this
calibration procedure, the tolerances of the sensor, the
magnet, and the mechanical positioning can be com-
pensated in the final assembly. This offers a low-cost
alternative for all applications that presently need
mechanical adjustment or laser trimming for calibrating
the system.
In addition, the temperature compensation of the Hall
IC can be fit to common magnetic materials by pro-
gramming first and second order temperature coeffi-
cients of the Hall sensor sensitivity. This enables oper-
ation over the full temperature range with high
accuracy.
The calculation of the individual sensor characteristics
and the programming of the EEPROM memory can
easily be done with a PC and the application kit from
Micronas.
The sensor is designed for hostile industrial and
automotive applications and operates with typically
5 V supply voltage in the ambient temperature range
from 40 °C up to 150 °C. The HAL82x is available
in the very small leaded packages TO92UT-1 and
TO92UT-2.
1.1. Major Applications
Due to the sensor’s versatile programming character-
istics and low temperature drifts, the HAL82x is the
optimal system solution for applications such as:
contactless potentiometers,
angle sensors (like throttle position, paddle position
and EGR applications),
distance measurements,
magnetic field and current measurement.

1.6. Solderability and Welding
Solderability
During soldering reflow processing and manual
reworking, a component body temperature of 260 °C
should not be exceeded.
Welding
Device terminals should be compatible with laser and
resistance welding. Please note that the success of
the welding process is subject to different welding
parameters which will vary according to the welding
technique used. A very close control of the welding
parameters is absolutely necessary in order to reach
satisfying results. Micronas, therefore, does not give
any implied or express warranty as to the ability to
weld the component.

2. Functional Description
2.1. General Function
The HAL82x is a monolithic integrated circuit which
provides an output voltage proportional to the mag-
netic flux through the Hall plate and proportional to the
supply voltage (ratiometric behavior).
The external magnetic field component perpendicular
to the branded side of the package generates a Hall
voltage. The Hall IC is sensitive to magnetic north and
south polarity. This voltage is converted to a digital
value, processed in the Digital Signal Processing Unit
(DSP) according to the settings of the EEPROM regis-
ters, converted to an analog voltage with ratiometric
behavior, and stabilized by a push-pull output transis-
tor stage. The function and the parameters for the DSP
are explained in Section 2.2. on page 8.
The setting of the LOCK register disables the program-
ming of the EEPROM memory for all time. This regis-
ter cannot be reset.
As long as the LOCK register is not set, the output
characteristic can be adjusted by programming the
EEPROM registers. The IC is addressed by modulat-
ing the supply voltage (see Fig. 2–1). In the supply
voltage range from 4.5 V up to 5.5 V, the sensor gen-
erates an analog output voltage. After detecting a
command, the sensor reads or writes the memory and
answers with a digital signal on the output pin. The
analog output is switched off during the communica-
tion. Several sensors in parallel to the same supply
and ground line can be programmed individually. The
selection of each sensor is done via its output pin.
The open-circuit detection provides a defined output
voltage if the VDD or GND line is broken. Internal tem-
perature compensation circuitry and the choppered off-
set compensation enables operation over the full tem-
perature range with minimal changes in accuracy and
high offset stability. The circuitry also rejects offset
shifts due to mechanical stress from the package. The
non-volatile memory consists of redundant and non-
redundant EEPROM cells. The non-redundant
EEPROM cells are only used to store production infor-
mation inside the sensor. In addition, the sensor IC is
equipped with devices for overvoltage and reverse-
voltage protection at all pins.

2.2. Digital Signal Processing and EEPROM
The DSP is the main part of this sensor and performs
the signal conditioning. The parameters for the DSP
are stored in the EEPROM registers. The details are
shown in Fig. 2–3.
Terminology:
SENSITIVITY: name of the register or register value
Sensitivity: name of the parameter
The EEPROM registers consist of four groups:
Group 1 contains the registers for the adaption of the
sensor to the magnetic system: MODE for selecting
the magnetic field range and filter frequency, TC,
TCSQ and TC-Range for the temperature characteris-
tics of the magnetic sensitivity.
Group 2 contains the registers for defining the output
characteristics: SENSITIVITY, VOQ, CLAMP-LOW,
and CLAMP-HIGH. The output characteristic of the
sensor is defined by these 4 parameters.
The parameter VOQ (Output Quiescent Voltage) cor-
responds to the output voltage at B = 0 mT.
The parameter Sensitivity defines the magnetic sen-
sitivity:
The output voltage can be calculated as:
The output voltage range can be clamped by setting
the registers CLAMP-LOW and CLAMP-HIGH in order
to enable failure detection (such as short-circuits to
VDD or GND and open connections).
Group 3 contains the general purpose register GP. The
GP Register can be used to store customer informa-
tion, like a serial number after manufacturing. Micro-
nas will use this GP REGISTER to store informations
like, Lot number, wafer number, x and y position of the
die on the wafer, etc. This information can be readout
by the customer and stored in it’s on data base or it
can stay in the sensor as is.
Group 4 contains the Micronas registers and LOCK for
the locking of all registers. The Micronas registers are
programmed and locked during production. These reg-
isters are used for oscillator frequency trimming, A/D
converter offset compensation, and several other spe-
cial settings.
An external magnetic field generates a Hall voltage
on the Hall plate. The ADC converts the amplified
positive or negative Hall voltage (operates with mag-
netic north and south poles at the branded side of the
package) to a digital value. The digital signal is fil-
tered in the internal low-pass filter and manipulated
according to the settings stored in the EEPROM. The
digital value after signal processing is readable in the
D/A-READOUT register. Depending on the program-
mable magnetic range of the Hall IC, the operating
range of the A/D converter is from 30 mT...+30 mT
up to 100 mT...+100 mT.
During further processing, the digital signal is multi-
plied with the sensitivity factor, added to the quiescent
output voltage and limited according to the clamping
voltage. The result is converted to an analog signal
and stabilized by a push-pull output transistor stage.
The D/A-READOUT at any given magnetic field
depends on the programmed magnetic field range, the
low-pass filter, TC values and CLAMP-LOW and
CLAMP-HIGH. The D/A-READOUT range is min. 0
and max. 16383.
Note: During application design, it should be taken
into consideration that the maximum and mini-
mum D/A-READOUT should not saturate in the
operational range of the specific application.

they define the magnetic field range of the A/D con-
verter.

Filter
The FILTER bit is bit number 4 of the MODE register; it
defines the 3 dB frequency of the digital low pass fil-
ter.
Bit Time
The BITTIME bit is bit number 5 of the MODE register;
It defines the protocol bit time for the communication
between the sensor and the programmer board.
Output Format
The OUTPUTMODE bits are the bits number 6 to 7 of
the MODE register; They define the different output
modes.
In Analog Output mode, the sensor provides an ratio-
metric 12-bit analog output voltage between 0 V and
5V.
In Multiplex Analog Output mode, the sensor transmits
the LSN and MSN of the output value separately. This
enables the sensor to transmit a 14-bit signal. In exter-
nal trigger mode the ECU can switch the output of the
sensor between LSN and MSN by changing current
flow direction through sensor output. In case the out-
put is pulled up by a 10 kΩ resistor the sensor sends
the MSN. If the output is pulled down the sensor will
send the LSN. Maximum refresh rate is about 500 Hz
(2 ms). Three pins are sufficient.
Note: Please contact Micronas for further information
about Multiplex Analog Output Mode.
In Burn-In Mode, the signal path of the sensors DSP is
stimulated internally without applied magnetic field. In
this mode, the sensor provides a “saw tooth” shape
output signal. Shape and frequency of the saw tooth
signal depends on the programming of the sensor.
This mode can be used for Burn-In test in the custom-
ers production line.
TC Register
The temperature dependence of the magnetic sensitiv-
ity can be adapted to different magnetic materials in
order to compensate for the change of the magnetic
strength with temperature. The adaption is done by
programming the TC (Temperature Coefficient) and
the TCSQ registers (Quadratic Temperature Coeffi-
cient). Thereby, the slope and the curvature of the tem-
perature dependence of the magnetic sensitivity can
be matched to the magnet and the sensor assembly.
As a result, the output voltage characteristic can be
fixed over the full temperature range. The sensor can
compensate for linear temperature coefficients ranging
from about 3100 ppm/K up to 1000 ppm/K and qua-
dratic coefficients from about 7 ppm/K² to 2 ppm/K².
The full TC range is separated in the following four
ranges:
TC (5 bit) and TCSQ (3 bit) have to be selected individu-
ally within each of the four ranges. For example: 0 ppm/k
requires TC-Range = 1, TC = 15 and TCSQ = 1.

Sensitivity
The SENSITIVITY register contains the parameter for
the multiplier in the DSP. The Sensitivity is program-
mable between 4 and 4. For VDD = 5 V, the register
can be changed in steps of 0.00049.
For all calculations, the digital value from the magnetic
field of the D/A converter is used. This digital informa-
tion is readable from the D/A-READOUT register.
VOQ
The VOQ register contains the parameter for the
adder in the DSP. VOQ is the output voltage without
external magnetic field (B = 0 mT) and programmable
from VDD up to VDD. For VDD = 5 V, the register can
be changed in steps of 4.9 mV.
Note: If VOQ is programmed to a negative voltage, the
maximum output voltage is limited to:
Clamping Voltage
The output voltage range can be clamped in order to
detect failures like shorts to VDD or GND or an open
circuit.
The CLAMP-LOW register contains the parameter for
the lower limit. The lower clamping voltage is program-
mable between 0 V and VDD/2. For VDD = 5 V, the reg-
ister can be changed in steps of 9.77 mV.
The CLAMP-HIGH register contains the parameter for
the upper limit. The upper clamping voltage is pro-
grammable between 0 V and VDD. For VDD = 5 V, in
steps of 9.77 mV.
GP Register
This register can be used to store some information,
like production date or customer serial number. Micro-
nas will store production Lot number, wafer number
and x,y coordinates in three blocks of this registers.
The total register contains of four blocks with a length
of 13 bit each. The customer can read out this informa-
tion and store it in his own production data base for ref-
erence or he can change them and store own produc-
tion information.
Note: To enable programming of the GP register bit 0
of the MODE register has to be set to 1. This
register is not a guarantee for trace-ability.
LOCKR
By setting the first bit of this 2-bit register, all registers
will be locked, and the sensor will no longer respond to
any supply voltage modulation. This bit is active after
the first power-off and power-on sequence after setting
the LOCK bit.
Warning: This register cannot be reset!
D/A-READOUT
This 14-bit register delivers the actual digital value of
the applied magnetic field after the signal processing.
This register can be read out and is the basis for the
calibration procedure of the sensor in the system envi-
ronment.
Note: The MSB and LSB are reversed compared with
all the other registers. Please reverse this regis-
ter after readout.

2.3. Calibration Procedure
2.3.1. General Procedure
For calibration in the system environment, the applica-
tion kit from Micronas is recommended. It contains the
hardware for the generation of the serial telegram for
programming (Programmer Board Version 5.1) and the
corresponding software (PC824 and PC825) for the
input of the register values.
For the individual calibration of each sensor in the cus-
tomer application, a two point adjustment is recom-
mended. The calibration shall be done as follows:
Step 1: Input of the registers which need not be
adjusted individually
The magnetic circuit, the magnetic material with its
temperature characteristics, the filter frequency, the
output mode and the GP Register value are given for
this application. Therefore, the values of the following
registers should be identical for all sensors of the cus-
tomer application.
–FILTER
(according to the maximum signal frequency)
–RANGE
(according to the maximum magnetic field at the
sensor position)
–OUTPUTMODE
TC, TCSQ and TC-RANGE
(depends on the material of the magnet and the
other temperature dependencies of the application)
–GP
(if the customer wants to store own production infor-
mation. It is not necessary to change this register)
As the clamping voltages are given. They have an
influence on the D/A-Readout value and have to be set
therefore after the adjustment process.
Write the appropriate settings into the HAL82x regis-
ters.
Step 2: Initialize DSP
As the D/A-READOUT register value depends on
the settings of SENSITIVITY, VOQ and CLAMP-
LOW/HIGH, these registers have to be initialized
with defined values, first:
–VOQ
INITIAL = 2.5 V
SensitivityINITIAL = 0.5
–Clamp-Low = 0V
Clamp-High = 4.999 V
Step 3: Define Calibration Points
The calibration points 1 and 2 can be set inside the
specified range. The corresponding values for VOUT1
and VOUT2 result from the application requirements.
For highest accuracy of the sensor, calibration points
near the minimum and maximum input signal are rec-
ommended. The difference of the output voltage
between calibration point 1 and calibration point 2
should be more than 3.5 V.
Step 4: Calculation of VOQ and Sensitivity
Set the system to calibration point 1 and read the reg-
ister D/A-READOUT. The result is the value D/A-
READOUT1.
Now, set the system to calibration point 2, read the
register D/A-READOUT again, and get the value D/A-
READOUT2.
With these values and the target values VOUT1 and
VOUT2, for the calibration points 1 and 2, respectively,
the values for Sensitivity and VOQ are calculated as:
This calculation has to be done individually for each
sensor.
Next, write the calculated values for Sensitivity and
VOQ into the IC for adjusting the sensor. At that time it
is also possible to store the application specific values
for Clamp-Low and Clamp-High into the sensors
EEPROM.

The sensor is now calibrated for the customer applica-
tion. However, the programming can be changed again
and again if necessary.
Note: For a recalibration, the calibration procedure
has to be started at the beginning (step 1). A
new initialization is necessary, as the initial val-
ues from step 1 are overwritten in step 4.
Step 5: Locking the Sensor
The last step is activating the LOCK function by pro-
gramming the LOCK bit. Please note that the LOCK
function becomes effective after power-down and
power-up of the Hall IC. The sensor is now locked and
does not respond to any programming or reading com-
mands.
Warning: This register can not be reset!

4. Application Notes
4.1. Application Circuit
For EMC protection, it is recommended to connect one
ceramic 4.7 nF capacitor each between ground and
the supply voltage, respectively the output voltage pin.
In addition, the input of the controller unit should be
pulled-down with a 10 kΩ resistor and a ceramic
4.7 nF capacitor.
Please note that during programming, the sensor will
be supplied repeatedly with the programming voltage
of 12.5 V for 100 ms. All components connected to the
VDD line at this time must be able to resist this voltage.
Fig. 4–1: Recommended application circuit
4.2. Use of two HAL82x in Parallel
Two different HAL82x sensors which are operated in
parallel to the same supply and ground line can be
programmed individually. In order to select the IC
which should be programmed, both Hall ICs are inacti-
vated by the “Deactivate” command on the common
supply line. Then, the appropriate IC is activated by an
“Activate” pulse on its output. Only the activated sen-
sor will react to all following read, write, and program
commands. If the second IC has to be programmed,
the “Deactivate” command is sent again, and the sec-
ond IC can be selected.
Note: The multi-programming of two sensors works
only if the outputs of the two sensors are pulled
to GND with a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor.
Fig. 4–2: Parallel operation of two HAL82x
4.3. Temperature Compensation
The relationship between the temperature coefficient
of the magnet and the corresponding TC, TCSQ and
TC-Range codes for linear compensation is given in
the following table. In addition to the linear change of
the magnetic field with temperature, the curvature can
be adjusted as well. For this purpose, other TC, TCSQ
and TC-Range combinations are required which are
not shown in the table. Please contact Micronas for
more detailed information on this higher order temper-
ature compensation.

Note: The above table shows only some approximate
values. Micronas recommends to use the TC-
Calc software to find optimal settings for temper-
ature coefficients. Please contact Micronas for
more detailed information.
4.4. Ambient Temperature
Due to the internal power dissipation, the temperature
on the silicon chip (junction temperature TJ) is higher
than the temperature outside the package (ambient
temperature TA).
At static conditions and continuous operation, the fol-
lowing equation applies:
For typical values, use the typical parameters. For
worst case calculation, use the max. parameters for
IDD and Rth, and the max. value for VDD from the appli-
cation.
For VDD = 5.5 V, Rth = 235 K/W, and IDD = 10 mA, the
temperature difference ΔT = 12.93 K.
For all sensors, the junction temperature TJ is speci-
fied. The maximum ambient temperature TAmax can be
calculated as:
4.5. EMC and ESD
The HAL82x is designed for a stabilized 5 V supply.
Interferences and disturbances conducted along the
12 V on board system (product standard ISO 7637
part 1) are not relevant for these applications.
For applications with disturbances by capacitive or
inductive coupling on the supply line or radiated distur-
bances, the application circuit shown in Fig. 4–1 is rec-
ommended. Applications with this arrangement should
pass the EMC tests according to the product stan-
dards ISO 7637 part 3 (Electrical transient transmis-
sion by capacitive or inductive coupling).
Please contact Micronas for the detailed investigation
reports with the EMC and ESD results.

5. Programming of the Sensor
5.1. Definition of Programming Pulses
The sensor is addressed by modulating a serial tele-
gram on the supply voltage. The sensor answers with
a serial telegram on the output pin.
The bits in the serial telegram have a different bit time
for the VDD-line and the output. The bit time for the
VDD-line is defined through the length of the Sync Bit
at the beginning of each telegram. The bit time for the
output is defined through the Acknowledge Bit.
A logical “0” is coded as no voltage change within the
bit time. A logical “1” is coded as a voltage change
between 50% and 80% of the bit time. After each bit, a
voltage change occurs.
5.2. Definition of the Telegram
Each telegram starts with the Sync Bit (logical 0),
3 bits for the Command (COM), the Command
Parity Bit (CP), 4 bits for the Address (ADR), and
the Address Parity Bit (AP).
There are 4 kinds of telegrams:
Write a register (see Fig. 5–2)
After the AP Bit, follow 14 Data Bits (DAT) and the
Data Parity Bit (DP). If the telegram is valid and the
command has been processed, the sensor answers
with an Acknowledge Bit (logical 0) on the output.
Read a register (see Fig. 5–3)
After evaluating this command, the sensor answers
with the Acknowledge Bit, 14 Data Bits, and the
Data Parity Bit on the output.
Programming the EEPROM cells (see Fig. 5–4)
After evaluating this command, the sensor answers
with the Acknowledge Bit. After the delay time tw,
the supply voltage rises up to the programming volt-
age.
Activate a sensor (see Fig. 5–5)
If more than one sensor is connected to the supply
line, selection can be done by first deactivating all
sensors. The output of all sensors will be pulled to
ground by the internal 10 kΩ resistors. With an Acti-
vate pulse on the appropriate output pin, an individ-
ual sensor can be selected. All following commands
will only be accepted from the activated sensor.

5.3. Telegram Codes
Sync Bit
Each telegram starts with the Sync Bit. This logical “0”
pulse defines the exact timing for tp0.
Command Bits (COM)
The Command code contains 3 bits and is a binary
number. Table 5–2 shows the available commands
and the corresponding codes for the HAL82x.
Command Parity Bit (CP)
This parity bit is “1” if the number of zeros within the 3
Command Bits is uneven. The parity bit is “0”, if the
number of zeros is even.
Address Bits (ADR)
The Address code contains 4 bits and is a binary num-
ber. Table 5–3 shows the available addresses for the
HAL82x registers.
Address Parity Bit (AP)
This parity bit is “1” if the number of zeros within the
4 Address bits is uneven. The parity bit is “0” if the
number of zeros is even.
Data Bits (DAT)
The 14 Data Bits contain the register information.
The registers use different number formats for the
Data Bits. These formats are explained in Section 5.4.
In the Write command, the last bits are valid. If, for
example, the TC register (10 bits) is written, only the
last 10 bits are valid.
In the Read command, the first bits are valid. If, for
example, the TC register (10 bits) is read, only the first
10 bits are valid.
Data Parity Bit (DP)
This parity bit is “1” if the number of zeros within the
binary number is even. The parity bit is “0” if the num-
ber of zeros is uneven.
Acknowledge
After each telegram, the output answers with the
Acknowledge signal. This logical “0” pulse defines the
exact timing for tpOUT.

5.5.1. Programming Information
If the content of any register (except the lock registers)
is to be changed, the desired value must first be writ-
ten into the corresponding RAM register. Before read-
ing out the RAM register again, the register value must
be permanently stored in the EEPROM.
Permanently storing a value in the EEPROM is done
by first sending an ERASE command followed by
sending a PROM command. The address within the
ERASE and PROM commands must be zero.
ERASE and PROM act on all registers in parallel.
Note: To store data in the GP register it is necessary
to set bit number 0 of the MODE register to one,
before sending an ERASE and PROM com-
mand. Otherwise the data stored in the GP reg-
ister will not be changed.
If all HAL82x registers are to be changed, all writing
commands can be sent one after the other, followed by
sending one ERASE and PROM command at the end.
During all communication sequences, the customer
has to check if the communication with the sensor was
successful. This means that the acknowledge and the
parity bits sent by the sensor have to be checked by
the customer. If the Micronas programmer board is
used, the customer has to check the error flags sent
from the programmer board.
Note: For production and qualification tests, it is man-
datory to set the LOCK bit after final adjustment
and programming of HAL82x. The LOCK func-
tion is active after the next power-up of the sen-
sor. The success of the Lock Process should be
checked by reading at least one sensor register
after locking and/or by an analog check of the
sensors output signal. Electrostatic Discharges
(ESD) may disturb the programming pulses.
Please take precautions against ESD.
