A1230
Ultra-Sensitive Dual-Channel Quadrature

Hall-Effect Bipolar Switch
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
Two matched Hall-effect switches on a single substrate

1 mm Hall element spacing
Superior temperature stability and industry-leading
jitter performance through use of advanced chopperstabilization topology
Integrated regulator provides 3.3 V operation
Integrated ESD protection from outputs and VCC to
ground
High sensitivity switchpoints
Robust structure for EMC protection
Solid-state reliability
Reverse battery protection on supply and both output
pins
The A1230 is a dual-channel, bipolar switch with two Halleffect sensing elements, each providing a separate digital
output for speed and direction signal processing capability. The
Hall elements are photolithographically aligned to better than
1m. Maintaining accurate mechanical location between the
two active Hall elements eliminates the major manufacturing
hurdle encountered in fine-pitch detection applications. The
A1230 is a highly sensitive, temperature stable magnetic
sensing device ideal for use in ring magnet based, speed and
direction systems located in harsh automotive and industrial
environments.
PACKAGES:
8-Pin SOIC (suffix L)
4-Pin SIP (suffix K)
The A1230 monolithic integrated circuit (IC) contains two

independent Hall-effect bipolar switches located 1 mm apart.
The digital outputs are out of phase so that the outputs are in
quadrature when interfaced with the proper ring magnet design.
This allows easy processing of speed and direction signals.
Extremely low-drift amplifiers guarantee symmetry between
the switches to maintain signal quadrature. The Allegro
patented, high-frequency chopper-stabilization technique
cancels offsets in each channel providing stable operation over
the full specified temperature and voltage ranges.
Additionally, the high-frequency chopping circuits allow
an increased analog signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the
digital comparators internal to the IC. As a result, the A1230

Description (continued)
achieves industry-leading digital output jitter performance that is

critical in high performance motor commutation applications. An
on-chip regulator allows the use of this device over a wide operating
voltage range. Post-assembly factory programming at Allegro
provides sensitive switchpoints that are symmetrical between the
two switches.
The A1230 is available in a plastic 8-pin SOIC surface mount

package (L) and a plastic 4-pin SIP (K). Both are available in a
temperature range of 40C to 150C. Each package is lead (Pb)
free, with 100% matte tin plated leadframe.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Chopper-Stabilized Technique
A limiting factor for switchpoint accuracy when using Hall effect
technology is the small signal voltage developed across the Hall
plate. This voltage is proportionally small relative to the offset
that can be produced at the output of the Hall IC. This makes it
difficult to process the signal and maintain an accurate, reliable
output over the specified temperature and voltage range.
Chopper-stabilization is a unique approach used to minimize
Hall offset on the chip. The Allegro patented technique, dynamic
quadrature offset cancellation, removes key sources of the output
drift induced by temperature and package stress. This offset
reduction technique is based on a signal modulation-demodulation process. The undesired offset signal is separated from the
magnetically induced signal in the frequency domain through
modulation. The subsequent demodulation acts as a modulation
process for the offset causing the magnetically induced signal
to recover its original spectrum at baseband while the DC offset
becomes a high frequency signal. Then, using a low-pass filter
the signal passes while the modulated DC offset is suppressed.
Allegros new innovative chopper-stabilization technique uses a
high frequency clock. This chopper-stabilization approach de-
sensitizes the IC to temperature and stress. The high-frequency

operation also allows a greater sampling rate that produces higher
accuracy and faster signal processing capability. Additionally,
filtering is more effective and results in a lower noise analog
signal at the input to the Schmitt trigger. Therefore, this highfrequency chopping technique reduces jitter, also known as 360
repeatability, can be induced on the output signal. The sampleand-hold process, used by the demodulator to store and recover
the signal, can slightly degrade the signal to noise ratio. This is
because the process generates replicas of the noise spectrum at the
baseband, causing a decrease in jitter performance. However, the
improvement in switchpoint performance, resulting from the reduction of the effects of thermal and mechanical stress, outweighs the
degradation in the signal to noise ratio.
This technique produces devices that have an extremely stable
quiescent Hall output voltage, are immune to thermal stress,
and have precise recoverability after temperature cycling. This
technique is made possible through the use of a BiCMOS process
which allows the use of low offset and low noise amplifiers in
combination with high-density logic integration and sample and
hold circuits.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS

This device requires minimal protection circuitry during operation with a low-voltage regulated line. The on-chip voltage
regulator provides immunity to power supply variations between
3.3 and 18 V. Because the device has open-drain outputs, pull-up
resistors must be included.
If protection against coupled and injected noise is required, then a
simple low-pass filter on the supply (RC) and a filtering capacitor on each of the outputs may also be needed, as shown in the
unregulated supply diagram.

For applications in which the device receives its power from
unregulated sources, such as a car battery, full protection is generally required to protect the device against supply-side transients.
Specifications for such transients vary for each application, so
the design of the protection circuit should be optimized for each
application.

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 Web site.)
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 IIN
(1)
T = PD RJA
(2)
TJ = TA + T
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25C,

VCC = 12V, ICC = 4 mA, and RJA = 140 C/W, then:
PD = VCC ICC = 12 V 4 mA = 48 mW
A worst-case estimate, PD(max) , represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max) , at a selected RJA
and TA.
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA=150C, package L, using a
single-layer PCB.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RJA=140C/W, TJ(max) =165C, VCC(max) = 18V, and
ICC(max) = 6 mA.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max) . First,
invert equation 3:
Tmax = TJ(max) TA = 165C150C = 15C
This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal
power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2:
PD(max) = TmaxRJA =15C140C/W= 107mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ICC(max) = 107 mW6mA= 18 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.
T = PD RJA = 48 mW 140 C/W = 7C

TJ = TA + T = 25C + 7C = 32C
