Description
The A1373 and A1374 high precision linear Hall effect sensors are sensitive, temperature stable, linear devices with externally programmable features. This device family incorporates a chopper-stabilized amplifier, voltage regulator, programming logic, and an output amplifier on a single IC. The patented dynamic offset cancellation used with a chopper-stabilization technique provides extremely low offset and minimal temperature drift. A high frequency clock is used for chopping, to ensure high frequency signal processing capability. The A1373 and A1374 are ideal for use in automotive and industrial linear position-sensing applications that require increased reliability and accuracy over conventional contacting-potentiometer solutions. Key applications include: throttle position sensors, pedal position sensors, and suspension height sensors. The design and manufacturing flexibility of the A1373 and A1374 complement the Allegro linear Hall effect family of devices by offering programmable gain, quiescent offset voltage for unipolar or bipolar operation, temperature coefficient, clamps, and polarity. The device can be set up in a magnetic circuit and programmed with a train of serial pulses via the output pin. Once the right combination of gain, quiescent

tPO does not include tCLP , specified in the Quiescent Programming section of this table. Peak to peak value exceeded: 0.3% (6). 3 For A1373, no digital noise is present at the output. 4 Step size is larger than required for the specified range, to take into account manufacturing spread. 5 Individual code step sizes can be greater than 2x larger than the step size at each significant bit rollover. 6 Average fine code step size in a given range = (Output value at highest fine code in the range - Output value at code 0 of the range) / Total quantity of steps (codes) in the range. 7 Values indicated are valid if any additional magnetic field does not exceed B(kG)= 2 (V) / Sens (mv/G), after V OUTCLP is reached. 8 Program the Sensitivity T/C register before programming Sensitivity Coarse and Sensitivity Fine, due to a worst case shift of 3% in sensitivity at 25C at the maximum values for Sensitivity T/C: Positive T/C and Sensitivity T/C: Negative T/C. The Programming Guidelines section in this document lists a complete recommended order for programming individual values. 9Drift due to temperature cycling is due to package effects on the Hall transducer. The stress is reduced when the package is baked. However, it will recover over time after removal from the bake.

High Precision, Output Pin Programmable Linear Hall Effect Sensors
Chopper Stabilization Technique Chopper stabilization is a unique approach used to minimize Hall offset on the chip. The patented Allegro technique, namely Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation, removes key sources of the output drift induced by thermal and mechanical stresses. This offset reduction technique is based on a signal modulationdemodulation process. The undesired offset signal is separated from the magnetic field-induced signal in the frequency domain, through modulation. The subsequent demodulation acts as a modulation process for the offset, causing the magnetic field-induced signal to recover its original spectrum at baseband, while the dc offset becomes a high-frequency signal. The magnetic-sourced signal then can
pass through a low-pass filter, while the modulated dc offset is suppressed. The chopper stabilization technique uses a 200 kHz high frequency clock. For demodulation process, a sample and hold technique is used, where the sampling is performed at twice the chopper frequency (400 kHz). This high-frequency operation allows a greater sampling rate, which results in higher accuracy and faster signal-processing capability. This approach desensitizes the chip to the effects of thermal and mechanical stresses, and produces devices that have extremely stable quiescent Hall output voltages and precise recoverability after temperature cycling. This technique is made possible through the use of a BiCMOS process, which allows the use of low-offset, low-noise amplifiers in combination with high-density logic integration and sample-and-hold circuits.

Definitions of Terms
Linear: A type of Hall-Effect sensor that produces an analog output voltage proportional to the strength of a sensed magnetic field. Ratiometric: A linear Hall-Effect sensor that, when not subjected to a significant magnetic field, has an output that is a ratio of its supply voltage. A ratiometric performance of 100% indicates the output follows the supply with no percentage error. Gauss: Standard unit of measuring magnetic flux density. 1 gauss is equal to 1 Maxwell per square centimeter or 10-4 tesla. (For reference, the earth's magnetic field is approximately 0.5 gauss.) Blowing: Applying a pulse of sufficient voltage and duration to permanently set a bit, by blowing a fuse internal to the device. Once a bit (fuse) has been blown, it cannot be reset. The terms trimming and programming can be used interchangeably with blowing in this context. Programming modes: Testing the results is the only valid method to guarantee successful programming, and multiple modes are provided to
support this. The programming modes are described in the section Mode Selection State.
Code: The number used to identify the register and the bitfield to be programmed, expressed as the decimal equivalent of the binary value. The LSB of a register is denoted as bit 0.

Characteristic Definitions
Quiescent Output Voltage. In the quiescent state (no significant magnetic field: B = 0), the output, VOUTQ, equals a ratio of the supply voltage, VCC, throughout the entire operating ranges of VCC and ambient temperature, TA. Due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, there is a tolerance on the quiescent output voltage, VOUTQ, which is a function of both VCC and TA. For purposes of specification, the quiescent output voltage as a function of temperature, VOUTQ(TA), is defined as:
VOUTQ() = VOUTQ() - VOUTQ(25C) Sens(25C)
magnetic sensitivity, Sens, and clamp voltage, VOUTCLP , are proportional to the supply voltage, VCC. The ratiometric change in the quiescent output voltage, RATVOUT(Q) (%), is defined as:
RATVOUT(Q) = VOUTQ(VCC) VCC VOUTQ(5V) 5V x 100%
(4)
the ratiometric change in sensitivity is defined as:
RATSens = Sens(VCC) VCC Sens(5V) 5V x 100%
(5)
(1)
and the ratiometric change in clamp voltage is defined as:
RATVCLP = VCLP(VCC) VCC VCLP(5V) 5V x 100%
where Sens is in mV/G, and the result is the device equivalent accuracy, in gauss (G), applicable over the entire operating temperature range. Sensitivity. The presence of a south-polarity (+B) magnetic field, perpendicular to the branded face of the device package, increases the output voltage, VOUT, in proportion to the magnetic field applied, from VOUTQ toward the VCC rail. Conversely, the application of a north polarity (-B) magnetic field, in the same orientation, proportionally decreases the output voltage from its quiescent value. This proportionality is specified as the magnetic sensitivity of the device and is defined as:
Sens = VOUT(-B) - VOUT(+B) 2B

Note that clamping effect is applicable only when clamping is enabled by programming of the device. Linearity and Symmetry. The on-chip output stage is designed to provide linear output at a supply voltage of 5 V. Although the application of very high magnetic fields does not damage these devices, it does force their output into a nonlinear region. Linearity in percent is measured and defined as:
Lin+ = VOUT(+B) - VOUTQ 2 (VOUT(+B1/2) - VVOUTQ ) VOUT(-B) - VOUTQ 2(VOUT(-B1/2) - VOUTQ) x 100%

Pulse Generation
Several parameters can be field-programmed. To do so, a coded series of voltage pulses through the VOUT pin is used to set bitfields in onboard registers. The effect on the device output can be monitored, and the registers can be cleared and set repeatedly until the required output results are achieved. To make the setting permanent, bitfield-level solid state fuses are blown, and finally, a device-level fuse is blown, blocking any further coding. Although any programmable variable power supply can be used to generate the pulsed waveforms, Allegro highly recommends using the Allegro Sensor Evaluation Kit, available on the Allegro Web site On-line Store. The manual for that kit is available for download free of charge, and provides additional information on programming these devices. There are three voltage levels that must be taken into account when programming. For purposes of explanation in this document, the signal levels are referred to simply as high programming voltage, VPH , mid, VPM , and low, VPL .
The rising edge of the high level, VPH , pulse generates a state change. The falling edge of the high level, VPH , pulse increments the mode, register, or bitfield selection by one, when allowed to drop below the low level, VPL , threshold. A delay on the falling edge, at the mid level, VPM , range is required to guarantee proper programming level recognition. When it is not desirable to increment these fields further, it is acceptable to hold the signal at the mid level, VPM , range and then transition to another high level, VPH, pulse. Referring to the Programming State Machine diagram, when using Blow Fuse mode the fourth high level, VPH , pulse (including the key sequence to enable Blow Fuse mode), will blow the selected key-code combination. If fuse blowing is not desired, it is recommended to reset the A137x by toggling the supply pin. If the high level, VPH, pulse is not generated, and the A137x is not reset, then the next key sequence to change states will blow the unwanted key-code combination. For multiple register addressing without fuse blowing, Try Value mode must be used.

required, then the output drive signal must be released to allow the output level to be read for each bitfield increment (see panels A and B, below). To guarantee proper pulse recognition, each level must be held for the predefined durations specified in the Programming Protocol Characteristics table. Failure to follow the specifications may produce undefined results. Examples of common pulse trains are shown in panels C and D, below.
The mid voltage range, VPM , is a neutral level used to separate VPH and VPL pulses from each other. The low level, VPL, pulse is used to increment the mode, register, and bitfield addresses that are to be set. The device generates a VPL pulse on the falling edge of the mid-level to low-level transition, VPM to VPL. In Try Value mode,the programming drive signal can be held at 5 V or less if no code search is required. If a code search is

Programming Protocol and State Machine Description
INITIAL STATE
After system power-up, the programming logic is reset to a known state. This is referred to as the Initial state. All the registers that have intact fuses are set to logic 0. While in the Initial state, any VPL pulses on the VOUT pin are ignored. To enter the Mode Selection state, send one VPH pulse on the VOUT pin.
* Sens. Fine. Register for setting the value within the range set in the Sens. Coarse register (8 bits) * [Sensitivity] TC Register. Register for setting the temperature coefficient for the device (5 bits). * Clamp [VOUTCLP] Bit. Register for setting the clamping voltage of the output (2 bits) * Polarity Bit. Register setting the polarity of the output (1 bit)
MODE SELECTION STATE
This state allows the selection of the programming mode:
* Try Value Mode. In this mode, the user provisionally downloads settings to the device registers, without blowing the bits. The user can increment through the codes of each parameter, and evaluate the results of various code settings. * Blow Fuse Mode. In this mode, after downloading the settings, the user can blow the fuses in specific registers. * Lock Device Mode. This mode is similar to Blow Fuse mode, except that the fuse that is blown permanently prevents any further programming of any bits in the device.
To select a register, increment through the register bitfields by sending VPL pulses on the VOUT pin. Note that the programming of registers should follow the order shown in item 7 in the section Programming Guidelines, not the bitfield selection order shown here. The bitfield selection order is:
0 pulses - QVO Coarse register 1 pulse - QVO Fine register 2 pulses - Sens. Coarse register 3 pulses - Sense Fine register 4 pulses - TC Register register 5 pulses - Clamp Bit register 6 pulses - Polarity Bit register
This register wraps by default. To enter the Bitfield Selection state, send one VPH pulse on the VOUT pin.
To select a mode, increment through the register bitfields by sending VPL pulses on the VOUT pin, as follows:
0 pulses - No effect 1 pulse - Try Value mode 2 pulses - Blow Fuse mode 3 pulses - Lock Device mode
BITFIELD SELECTION STATE (Write Mode)
This state allows the selection of the individual bitfields to be programmed, in the register selected in the Register Selection state. In Try Value mode, the total value of the bitfields selected increments by 1 with each VPL pulse on the VOUT pin. The parameter being programmed changes with each additional pulse, so measurements can be taken after each pulse to determine if the desired result has been acquired. In Blow Fuses mode, each bitfield to be blown must be selected individually. For bit codes and wrapping for these registers, see the section Programming Logic. To leave this state, send one VPH pulse on the VOUT pin. If the current mode is Try Value, the bitfields remain set and the device reverts to the Mode Selection state. If the current mode is Blow Fuse, the selected bitfield fuse is blown, and the device reverts to the Mode Selection state.
This register wraps by default. This means that sending additional VPL pulses traverses the register again. Any VPH pulse sent before a VPL pulse has no effect. To enter the Register Selection state, after sending a valid quantity of VPL pulses, send one VPH pulse on the VOUT pin.
REGISTER SELECTION STATE
This state allows the selection of the register containing the bitfields to be programmed. Selecting the register corresponds to selecting the parameter to be set. For bit codes, see the section Programming Logic.
* QVO [VOUT(Q)] Coarse. Register for setting the range of the operating dc point (2 bits) * QVO Fine. Register for setting the value within the range set in the QVO Coarse register (9 bits) * Sens. [Sensivity] Coarse. Register for setting the overall gain of the device (2 bits)

Programming Guidelines
* A bypass capacitor rated at 0.1F must be mounted between the VOUT pin and the GND pin during programming. The power supply used for programming should be capable of delivering 28 V and 300 mA. * Before beginning any Blow Fuse mode or Lock Device mode code sequence, the device MUST be reset by cycling VCC poweroff and power-on again. Cycling power resets the device by setting all bitfields that have intact fuses to 0. Bitfields with blown fuses are unaffected. In Try Value mode, to retain register settings from previous code sequences, do not cycle power between sequences. When a register is selected in Register Selection mode, when the VPH pulse is sent to enter the Bitfield Selection mode, the bitfields with intact fuses in that register are reset to 0. * In Try Value mode, all bits in the register can be set in one code sequence. For example, setting the binary value 0110 and sending a VPH pulse sets code 6. However, because of the power requirement, blowing fuses in Blow Fuse mode must be performed one bitfield at a time. In order to program (blow fuses) for binary 0110, the bitfields MUST be programmed (blown) in two different code sequences:one setting the 0100 bit, and the other setting the 0010 bit (in either order). Power must be cycled before each of the two sequences. * Although a bitfield cannot be reset once its fuse is blown, additional bitfields can be blown at any time, until the device is locked by setting the Lock bit. For example, if bit 1 (0010) has been blown, it is possible to blow bit 0 (0001). Because bit 1 was already blown, the end result will be 0011 (code 3).
* Before powering down the device after programming, observe the recommended delay at the mid voltage level, to ensure that the last VPH pulse has decayed before voltage drops to the VPL voltage. This will avoid the generation of overlapping VPL and VPH pulses. At the end of a Lock Device mode code sequence, the delay is not necessary. * Programming order is important in both Try Value mode and in Blow Fuse mode. There will be a slight parametric shift in sensitivity after programming the temperature coefficient, and a slight quiescent voltage shift with polarity. Subsequent changes to sensitivity can cause a shift in the quiescent output voltage. The following order is recommended:
a. b. c. d. e. g. Polarity TC Register Sens Coarse QVO Coarse Sens Fine QVO Fine
The Clamp Bit register can be programmed at any point in the order, as no parametric shift is observed due to clamps. * The actual distribution of parametric programming ranges are wider than the specified programming ranges, in order to take in to account manufacturing spread. The maximum possible attainable range can be used with the understanding that other specified parameters might be out of datasheet specification in the extended range. (For an example, see the chart Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient Range, in the Typical Characteristics section.)

Programming Example
This example demonstrates the programming of the devices by setting the register for Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient to 00110. 1. Power-on the system. This will reset the unprogrammed bits in all registers to 0. The device enters the Initial state. 2. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Mode Selection state. 3. Send one VPL pulse to select Try Value mode. 4. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Register Selection state. 5. Send four VPL pulses to select the TC register. 6. Send one VPH pulse to enter Bitfield Selection state (Write mode). The TC register is reset to 00000 (assuming all of those bitfields have intact fuses). 7. Send five VPL pulses to set bitfields 0 and 2 (00101). Now we can measure the device output to see if this is the desired value. We may find that the value we programmed is not correct. So we will proceed to change it, as follows: 8. Send one VPL pulse to increase the code to 6 (setting bitfields 1 and 2: 00110). We measure the device and find that this is the correct TC we require. We are finished with trying values, and now want to set the value permanently. In the following steps, remember that blowing fuses is done one bit at a time. 9. Send one VPH pulse to exit Bitfield Selection mode. (The device returns to the Mode Selection state.) 10. RESET the device by powering it off and on. 11. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Mode Selection state. 12. Send two VPL pulses to select Blow Fuse mode.
13. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Register Selection state. 14. Send four VPL pulses to select the TC register. 15. Send one VPH pulse to enter Bitfield Selection state (Write Mode). The TC register is reset to 00000. 16. Send four VPL pulses to set bit 2 (00100, decimal 4). 17. Send one VPH pulse to exit Bitfield Selection state. The bitfield fuse is blown, and the device returns to the Mode Selection state. One of the two bitfields is programmed. Now we program the other bitfield. 18. Repeat steps 10 to 15 to select the TC register again. This time, however, the register resets to 00100, because bit 2 has been permanently set. 19. Send two VPL pulses to set bit 1 (00010, decimal 2). 20. Send one VPH pulse to exit Bitfield Selection state. The bitfield fuse is blown, and the device returns to the Mode Selection state. After repeating the above steps to program all parameters, we can lock the device: 21. RESET the device by powering it off and on. 22. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Mode Selection state. 23. Send three VPL pulses to select Lock Device mode. 24. Send one VPH pulse to enter the Bitfield Selection state. (We do not need to select a register for locking the device). 25. Send one VPL pulse to set the Lock bit to 1. 26. Send one VPH pulse to exit Bitfield Selection state. The bitfield fuse is blown, and the device returns to the Mode Selection state. 27. Programming the device is complete. Optionally, test the results, or power-off the device.
