for High-Temperature Operation
Features and Benefits
▪ Temperature-stable quiescent output voltage
▪ Precise recoverability after temperature cycling
Description
TheA132X family of linear Hall-effect sensors are optimized,
sensitive,andtemperature-stable.TheseratiometricHall-effect
▪ Output voltage proportional to magnetic flux density
▪ Ratiometric rail-to-rail output
▪ Improved sensitivity
▪ 4.5 to 5.5 V operation
▪ Immunity to mechanical stress
▪ Solid-state reliability
sensors provide a voltage output that is proportional to the
applied magnetic field. The A132X family has a quiescent
output voltage that is 50% of the supply voltage and output
sensitivity options of 2.5mV/G, 3.125mV/G, and 5mV/G. The
features of this family of devices are ideal for use in the harsh
environments found in automotive and industrial linear and
rotary position sensing systems.
▪ Robust EMC protection
EachdevicehasaBiCMOSmonolithiccircuitwhichintegrates
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 cancellation technique, with
an internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset
voltage normally caused by device overmolding, temperature
dependencies, and thermal stress. The high frequency clock
allows for a greater sampling rate, which results in higher
accuracyandfastersignalprocessingcapability.Thistechnique

Power Derating
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA=150°C, package UA, using
minimum-K PCB.
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature of the device, TJ(max). Under certain combinations of
peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating sup-
plied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the
application. This section presents a procedure for correlating
factors affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on
the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.)
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RθJA=165°C/W, TJ(max) =165°C, VCC(max)= 5.5 V, and
ICC(max) = 8 mA.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First,
invert equation 3:
The Package Thermal Resistance, RθJA, is a figure of merit sum-
marizing the ability of the application and the device to dissipate
heat from the junction (die), through all paths to the ambient air.
Its primary component is the Effective Thermal Conductivity,
K, of the printed circuit board, including adjacent devices and
traces. Radiation from the die through the device case, RθJC, is
relatively small component of RθJA. Ambient air temperature,
TA, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by
overmolding.
ΔTmax = TJ(max) – TA = 165°C–150°C = 15°C
This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal
power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2:
PD(max) = ΔTmax ÷RθJA =15°C÷165 °C/W=91mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 91mW÷8mA=11.4 V
The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, PD), can
be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental
relationships used to estimate TJ, at PD.
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤VCC(est)
.
Compare VCC(est) to VCC(max). If VCC(est) ≤ VCC(max), then reli-
able operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires enhanced
RθJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between VCC(est) and
VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions.

For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC
I
= 12 V 4 mA = 48 mW

TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allow-
able power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max)
at a selected RθJA and TA.
