the a3515C and a3516C are sensitive, temperature-stable linear hall- effect sensors with greatly improved offset characteristics. ratiometric, linear hall-effect sensors provide a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field and have a quiescent output voltage that is approximately 50% of the supply voltage. these magnetic sensors are ideal for use in linear and rotary position sensing systems in the harsh environments of automotive and industrial applications over extended temperatures to -40 c and +150 c. the a3515C features an output sensitivity of 5 mv/g, while the a3516C has an output sensitivity of 2.5 mv/g. see the magnetic characteristics table for complete, individual device parametrics. each bicmos monolithic circuit integrates a hall element, improved temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity drift of the hall element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, and a rail-to-rail low- impedance output stage. a proprietary dynamic offset cancelation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset voltage, which is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependancies, and thermal stress. this technique produces devices that have an extremely stable quiescent output voltage, are immune to mechanical stress, and have precise recover- ability after temperature cycling. many problems normally associated with low-level analog signals are minimized by having the hall element and amplifier in a single chip. output precision is obtained by internal gain and offset trim adjustments during the manufacturing process. these devices are supplied in a 3-pin ultra-mini-sip ua package. features temperature-stable quiescent output voltage precise recoverability after temperature cycling output voltage proportional to applied magnetic field ratiometric rail-to-rail output improved sensitivity 4.5 v to 5.5 v operation immune to mechanical stress small package size solid-state reliability ratiometric, linear hall-effect sensors for high-temperature operation data sheet 27501.10c 3515 and 3516 always order by complete part number, e.g., a3515lua . pinning is shown viewed from branded side. absolute maximum ratings supply voltage, v cc .............................. 8.0 v output voltage, v o ................................ 8.0 v output sink current, i o ....................... 10 ma magnetic flux density, b .............. unlimited package power dissipation, p d ........................................... see graph operating temperature range*, t a suffix eC ..................... -40 c to +85 c suffix lC .................... -40 c to +150 c storage temperature range, t s .................................. -65 c to +170 c * infrequent excursions permitted; see applications information. dwg. ph-006 1 supply v cc ground 3 2 output x

3515 and 3516 ratiometric, linear hall-effect sensors www.allegromicro.com 5 ratiometry. the a3515xua and a3516xua feature a ratiometric output. the quiescent voltage output and sensitivity are proportional to the supply voltage (ratiometric). the per cent ratiometric change in the quiescent voltage output is defined as ? v oq( ? v) = v oq(vcc) / v oq(5v) x 100% (4) v cc / 5 v and the per cent ratiometric change in sensitivity is defined as ? sens ( ? v) = sens (vcc) / sens (5v) x 100% (5) v cc / 5 v linearity and symmetry. the on-chip output stage is de- signed to provide a linear output to within 500 mv of either rail with a supply voltage of 5 v. this is equivalent to approxi- mately 800 gauss of ambient field. although application of stronger magnetic fields will not damage these devices, it will force the output into a non-linear region. linearity in per cent is measured and defined as lin+ = v o(500g) C v oq x 100% (6) 2 (v o(250g) C v oq ) linC = v o(-500g) C v oq x 100% (7) 2 (v o(-250g) C v oq ) and output symmetry as sym = v o(500g) C v oq x 100% (8) v oq C v o(-500g) characteristics definitions quiescent voltage output. in the quiescent state (no mag- netic field), the output is ideally equal to one-half of the supply voltage over the operating voltage and temperature range (v oq v cc / 2 ). due to internal component tolerances and thermal considerations, there is a tolerance on the quiescent voltage output and on the quiescent voltage output as a function of supply voltage and ambient temperature. for purposes of specification, the quiescent voltage output as a function of temperature is defined as ? v oq( ? t) = v oq(ta) C v oq(25 c) (1) sens (25 c) this calculation yields the devices equivalent accuracy, over the operating temperature range, in gauss. sensitivity. the presence of a south-pole magnetic field perpendicular to the package face (the branded surface) will increase the output voltage from its quiescent value toward the supply voltage rail by an amount proportional to the magnetic field applied. conversely, the application of a north pole will decrease the output voltage from its quiescent value. this proportionality is specified as the sensitivity of the device and is defined as sens = v o(500g) C v o(-500g) (2) 1000 g the stability of sensitivity as a function of temperature is defined as ? sens ( ? t) = sens (ta) C sens (25 c) x 100% (3) sens (25 c)
