The vertical and planar Hall elements feature sensing axes that are orthogonal to one another and provide 90 of phase separation for ring magnets that is inherently independent of magnet pole spacing and air gap. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Continued on the next page... * Automotive Blower fans Electric pumps Electronic power steering Seat motors Trunk/liftgate motors Window/sunroof motors * Industrial, Commercial, and Consumer Garage doors Industrial motors Motorized window blinds Motorized gates Pumps White goods The 2D architecture of the A1262 simplifies the design of motors and magnetic encoders by providing quadrature output signals in a very small footprint. The A1262 outputs allow the speed and direction of a rotating ring magnet to be determined. The A1262 is available in two sensing options that allow flexibility in end-system magnetic design. Both options feature a planar Hall plate that is sensitive to magnetic fields perpendicular to the face of the package (Z). Two options of vertical Hall plate orientation (X or Y) in both packages offer flexibility in system design and magnet to sensor placement.

The device will power-on in the low output state, even when powering-on in the hysteresis region, between BOP and BRP. Unlike dual-planar Hall-effect sensors, which have two planar Hall-effect sensing elements spaced apart across the width of the package, both the vertical and planar sensing elements on the A1262 are located in essentially the same location on the IC. dual planar Switch to High VOUTPUT B- BRP VOUT(ON) 0 BOP 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. VOUT(OFF) Switch to Low The outputs of the A1262 switch low (turn on) when the corresponding Hall element is presented with a perpendicular south magnetic field of sufficient strength. OUTPUTA switches low if the Z-axis direction exceeds the operate point (BOP), and OUTPUTB switches low if the Y-axis direction (A1262 with default option) or X-axis direction (A1262 with -X option) exceeds BOP. After turn-on, the output voltage is VOUT(SAT). 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. B+ BHYS Figure 1: Switching Behavior of Latches On the horizontal axis, the B+ direction indicates increasing south polarity magnetic field strength, and the B- direction indicates decreasing south polarity field strength (including the case of increasing north polarity With dual-planar Hall sensors, the ring magnet must be properly designed and optimized for the physical Hall spacing (distance) in order to have the outputs of the two latches to be in quadrature, or 90 degrees out of phase. With the A1262, which uses one planar and one vertical Hall-effect sensing element, 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 A1262 Dual-Planar Sensor A1262 Figure 2: Ring magnet optimized for a dual-planar Hall-effect sensor resulting in output quadrature also results in quadrature for the A1262. Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 10 A1262 2D, Dual-Channel, Ultrasensitive Hall-Effect Latch two channels will inherently be in quadrature, irrespective of the ring-magnet pole spacing. Figure 2 above shows a ring magnet optimized for the E1-to-E2 spacing 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 A1262. However when a different ring magnet is used which is not optimized for dual planar 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 A1262, and the two channels remain in quadrature (see Figure 3 below). The relationship of the various signals and the typical system timing is shown in Figure 4. A1262 Dual-Planar Sensor A1262 Figure 3: Ring magnet not optimized for a dual-planar Hall-effect sensor resulting in significantly reduced output phase separation, however still results in quadrature for the A1262. Figure 4: Typical System Timing The Planar (P) and Vertical (V) signals represent the magnetic input signal, which is converted to the device outputs, OUTPUTA and OUTPUTB, respectively. While the A1262 does not process the signals into Speed and Direction, these could be determined by the user based on the individual output signals.

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 t thresholds). This is illustrated in Figure 6. The sampling error introduced by the multiplexing increases with magnetic input frequency, which can affect the output duty cycle and phase separation between outputs.

This offers incredible flexibility for positioning the IC within various applications. Figure 7a: LH (-Y option) The Z-Y option supports the traditional configuration with the face of the package facing the ring magnet (Figure 7a or 7c), with the axis of rotation going cross the leads, or opposide the leaded side(s) of the package facing the ring magnet (Figure 7b or 7d). Figure 7b: LH (-Y option) Figure 7c: K (-Y option) Figure 7d: K (-Y option) Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 14 A1262 2D, Dual-Channel, Ultrasensitive Hall-Effect Latch The Z-X option supports having the IC positioned with the face of the package facing the ring magnet, and the axis of rotation (Figure 8a or 8c) lengthwise along the package body, or with either of the non-leaded sides of the package facing the ring mag- net (Figure 8b or 8d). This latter configuration has the advantage of being able to be mounted extremely close to the ring magnet, since there are no leads or solder pads to accommodate for in that dimension.

Refer to Figure 9: Power-On Sequence and Timing for an illustration of the power-on sequence. It is strongly recommended that an external capacitor be connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor) between the supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise and noise generated by the chopper stabilization technique. As shown in Figure 10, a 0.1 F capacitor is typical.

This voltage is disproportionally small relative to the offset that can be produced at the output of the Hall sensor. 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 output drift induced by thermal and mechanical stresses. This 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 baseband, 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. This configuration is illustrated in Figure 11. The chopper stabilization technique uses a 400 kHz highfrequency clock. For demodulation process, a sample, hold, and averaging technique is used, where the sampling is performed at twice the chopper frequency (800 kHz). 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 and sample-and-hold circuits.

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. A worst-case estimate (PD(max)) represents the maximum allowable power level (VDD(max), IDD(max)), without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RJA and TA. Example: Reliability for VDD at TA = 150C, package LH5, using low-K PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RJA = 124C/W, TJ(max) = 165C, VDD(max) = 24 V, and IDD(max) = 7.5 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 / 124C/W = 121 mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: PD = VIN x IIN (1) VDD(est) = PD(max) / IDD(max) T = PD x RJA (2) VDD(est) = 121 mW / 7.5 mA TJ = TA + T (3) VDD(est) = 16.1 V For example, given common conditions such as: TA = 25C, VDD = 12 V, IDD = 3 mA, and RJA = 124C/W for the LH5 package, then: PD = VDD x IDD = 12 V x 3.0 mA = 36.0 mW T = PD x RJA = 36.0 mW x 124C/W = 4.5C 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 RJA. If VDD(est) VDD(max), then operation between VDD(est) and VDD(max) is reliable under these conditions. TJ = TA + T = 25C + 4.5C = 29.5C Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 18 A1262 2D, Dual-Channel, Ultrasensitive Hall-Effect Latch PACKAGE OUTLINE DRAWINGS E +0.08 5.21 -0.05 E1 45 E B E3 E2 2.60 0.11 1.32 +0.08 3.43 -0.05 E E1 E E2 D E 0.17 E2 E E3 1.55 0.05 2.16 MAX E E Branded Face E1 E E3 2 3 1 D Standard Branding Reference View 0.84 REF N = Device part number Y = Last two digits of year of manufacture W = Week of manufacture For Reference Only; not for tooling use (reference DWG-9010) Dimensions in millimeters Dimensions exclusive of mold flash, gate burrs, and dambar protrusions Exact case and lead configuration at supplier discretion within limits shown 4 14.73 0.51 +0.06 0.38 -0.03 +0.07 0.41 -0.05 YYWW 45 A 1 NNNN Mold Ejector Pin Indent A Dambar removal protrusion (8x) B Gate and tie bar burr area C Branding scale and appearance at supplier discretion D Active Area Depth, 0.42 mm E Hall Elements (E1, E2, and E3), not to scale; E2 and E3 are active in the A1262LK-T; E1 and E3 are active in the A1262LK-X-T 1.27 NOM Figure 12: Package K, 4-Pin SIP Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 19 A1262 2D, Dual-Channel, Ultrasensitive Hall-Effect Latch For Reference Only - Not for Tooling Use (Reference DWG-9069) Dimensions in millimeters - NOT TO SCALE Dimensions exclusive of mold flash, gate burrs, and dambar protrusions Exact case and lead configuration at supplier discretion within limits shown AY +0.12 2.98 -0.08 D 0.11 REF 2.90 4 4 AZ AX 5 +0.020 0.180 -0.053 D1 D D1 D +0.10 -0.20 1.91 +0.19 -0.06 D3 D D D2 1 2 0.17 D REF D2 D 0.25 MIN D D3 0.55 REF D3 D 0.25 BSC Branded Face SEATING PLANE GAUGE PLANE 8X 12 REF 1.00 0.13 D D2 +0.10 0.05 -0.05 0.40 0.10 0.95 BSC D1 D 0.20 MIN NNN 2.40 C Standard Branding Reference View AX Active Area Depth, X Axis, 1.49 0.2 AY Active Area Depth, Y Axis, 1.45 0.15 1.00 AZ Active Area Depth, Z Axis, 0.28 0.04 0.70 B 0.95 PCB Reference Layout View B Reference land pattern layout; all pads a minimum of 0.20 mm from all adjacent pads; adjust as necessary to meet application process requirements and PCB layout tolerances C Branding Scale and appearance at supplier discretion D Hall Elements (D1, D2, and D3), not to scale; D2 and D3 are active in the A1262LLH-T; D1 and D3 are active in the A1262LLH-X-T Figure 13: Package LH, 5-Pin SOT23-W Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 20 A1262 2D, Dual-Channel, Ultrasensitive Hall-Effect Latch Revision History Number Date Description - September 21, 2015 Initial release 1 February 10, 2016 Added E temperature range option and magnetic switchpoint symmetry specifications 2 February 10, 2017 Updated Features and Benefits (page 1), Description (pages 1-2), Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 3), Electrical Characteristics table (page 4), Figure 5 (page 12), Figure 6 (page 13), Figure 7 and 8 labels (pages 14-15), Chopper Stabilization section (page 17); added Typical Applications; added K package option; expanded Functional Description section. 3 May 19, 2017 Corrected Pinout Diagrams (page 2). 4 July 31, 2017 Updated Selection Guide table (page 2). 5 August 8, 2018 Minor editorial updates.
