HAL 2830
Linear Hall-Effect Sensor with SENT Output
The HAL 2830 is a new member of the
Micronas varioHAL (HAL 28xy) family of
programmable linear Hall-effect sensors.
The HAL 2830 is available in the very small
leaded package TO-92UT.
Sample accurate transmission
Telegram length less than 360 µs at 2 µs
tick time
Features
12-bit resolution
It features
(SingleEdgeNibbleTransmission)
a
digital SENT interface
that
High-precision linear Hall-effect sensor
Spinning-current offset compensation
Built-in temperature sensor
Non-volatile EEPROM with redundancy
and lock function
enables a fast and robust data transfer in
harsh automotive environments.
Open-drain output with slew rate control
Transmission of temperature information
Individual serial number for each sensor
12-bit customer serial number
The implementation of the interface com-
plies with the SAE J2716 SENT standard.
Each message consists of a sequence of
pulses. In one protocol, the sensor trans-
mits the magnetic field information, a status
information of the sensor, and for safety
reasons a CRC checksum.
On-board diagnostics (overtemperature,
overcurrent, etc.)
Customer-programmable temperature
nd
compensation of output sensitivity (2
order) and output offset (1 order)

Major Applications
Operating junction temperature range:
Due to the sensor’s versatile programming
characteristics and low drifts, the HAL 2830
is the optimal system solution for applica-
tions such as:
−40 °C…170 °C.
The HAL 2830 features a Hall-plate with
spinning current offset compensation tech-
nique and a precise temperature sensor
which is used for temperature compensa-
tion of both the Hall-sensors sensitivity and
offset.
Magnetic characteristics extremely
robust against mechanical stress
Digital signal processing
Contactless potentiometers
Sampling rates up to 2 kHz with internal
low-pass filter
Angular measurements
(e.g. valve, throttle, pedal position)
SENT output according to SAE J2716
standard
The sensor provides digital signal process-
ing. This is of great benefit because analog
offsets, temperature shifts, and mechanical
stress do not degrade digital signals.
Linear movement
(e.g. seat track position)
Message tick time customer-program-
mable between 2 µs and 17 µs
Linear force or torque measurements
Current sensing
(e.g. battery management)
Low time customer-programmable
between 3 and 7 clock ticks
Major characteristics like magnetic field
range, sensitivity, offset, and the tempera-
ture coefficients of sensitivity and offset can
easily be adjusted to the magnetic circuit by
programming the non-volatile memory.
