HALL-EFFECT SWITCH

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Chopper-Stabilized Technique. The Hall element can be

considered as a resistor array similar to a Wheatstone bridge. A

large portion of the offset is a result of the mismatching of these

resistors. These devices use a proprietary dynamic offset

cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock to

reduce the residual offset voltage of the Hall element that is

normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependen-

cies, and thermal stress. The chopper-stabilizing technique

cancels the mismatching of the resistor circuit by changing the

direction of the current flowing through the Hall plate using

CMOS switches and Hall voltage measurement taps, while

maintaing the Hall-voltage signal that is induced by the external

magnetic flux. The signal is then captured by a sample-and-

hold circuit and further processed using low-offset bipolar

circuitry. 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 will also slightly degrade the device

output repeatability. A relatively high sampling frequency is

used in order that faster signals can be processed.

More detailed descriptions of the circuit operation can be

found in: Technical Paper STP 97-10, Monolithic Magnetic

Hall Sensor Using Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation

and Technical Paper STP 99-1, Chopper-Stabilized Amplifiers

With A Track-and-Hold Signal Demodulator.

Operation. The output of these devices switches low (turns

on) when a magnetic field perpendicular to the Hall sensor

exceeds the operate point threshold (BOP). After turn-on, the

output is capable of sinking 25 mA and the output voltage is

VOUT(SAT). Note that the device latches; that is, a south pole of

sufficient strength towards the branded surface of the device

will turn the device on; removal of the south pole will leave the

device on. When the magnetic field is reduced below the

release point (BRP), the device output goes high (turns off). The

difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the

hysteresis (Bhys) of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows

clean switching of the output even in the presence of external

mechanical vibration and electrical noise.

Applications. It is strongly recommended that an external

bypass 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.

The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices

is a ring magnet. Other methods of operation, such as linear

magnets, are possible. Extensive applications information on

magnets and Hall-effect sensors is also available in the Allegro
