A3425
PIN OUT DIAGRAM
Ultra-Sensitive Dual-Channel
Quadrature Hall-Effect Bipolar Switch
The A3425 is a dual-channel, Bipolar switch with two Hall-effect
sensors, each providing a separate digital output for speed and
direction signal processing capability. The Hall elements are both
SOIC
photo-lithographically aligned to better than 1µm.
Maintaining
accurate mechanical location between the two active Hall elements
eliminates the major manufacturing hurdle encountered in fine-pitch
detection applications. The A3425 is a highly sensitive, temperature
stable magnetic sensor ideal for use in ring magnet based speed and
direction systems located in harsh automotive and industrial
environments.
K
The A3425 monolithic integrated circuit contains two independent Hall
effect switches located 1 mm apart. The digital outputs are out of
phase so that the outputs are in quadrature with the proper ring
magnet design. This allows for easy processing of speed and
direction signals. Extremely low-drift amplifiers guarantee symmetry
between the switches to maintain signal quadrature. The patented
chopper-stabilization technique cancels offsets in each channel
providing stable operation over temperature and voltage. An on-chip
low dropout regulator allows the use of this device over a wide
operating voltage range. Post-assembly factory programming at
Allegro provides for sensitive switch points that are symmetrical
between the two switches.
