A1354
High Precision 2-Wire Linear Hall Effect Sensor IC
with Pulse Width Modulated Output
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Designed for automotive, battery-powered applications
▪ Customer programmable quiescent duty cycle, sensitivity,
and PWM carrier frequency, through VCC pin
▪ Simultaneous programming of duty cycle, sensitivity, and
PWM carrier frequency, for system optimization
▪ Factory programmed sensitivity temperature coefficient
and quiescent duty cycle drift
The A1354 device is a high precision, programmable 2-wire
Hall effect linear sensor IC with a pulse width modulated
(PWM) output. The duty cycle (D) of the PWM output signal
is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The A1354
device converts an analog signal from its internal Hall circuit
to a digitally encoded PWM output signal. The coupled noise
immunity of the digitally encoded PWM output is far superior
to the noise immunity of an analog output signal.
▪ Selectable unidirectional or bidirectional quiescent
duty cycles
TheBiCMOS,monolithiccircuitinsideoftheA1354integrates
a Hall element, precision temperature-compensating circuitry
to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity and offset drift of the Hall
element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, proprietary
dynamic offset cancellation circuits, and PWM conversion
circuitry. The dynamic offset cancellation circuits reduce
the residual offset voltage of the Hall element. Hall element
offset is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature
dependencies, and thermal stress. The high frequency offset
cancellation (chopping) clock allows a greater sampling rate,
which increases the accuracy of the output signal and results
in faster signal processing capability.
▪ Pulse width modulated (PWM) output provides increased
noise immunity compared to analog output
▪ Temperature-stable quiescent duty cycle output and
sensitivity
