Features and Benefits
Description
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
The A3340 Hall effect switch is an extremely temperature-stable
and stress-resistant sensor IC especially suited for operation
over extended temperature ranges up to 150°C. Superior
high-temperature performance is made possible through
dynamic offset cancellation, which reduces the residual offset
voltage normally caused by device overmolding, temperature
dependencies, and thermal stress.
Resistant to physical stress
Superior temperature stability
Output short-circuit protection
Operation from unregulated supply
Reverse battery protection
Solid-state reliability
Small size
The device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator,
Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, chopper
stabilization, Schmitt trigger, and a short-circuit protected
open-collector output to sink up to 25 mA. A south pole of
sufficient strength will turn the output off. An on-board regulator
permits operation with supply voltages of 4.2 to 24 volts.
Two package styles provide a magnetically optimized package
for most applications. Suffix LH is an SOT23W surface mount
package and while suffix UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for
through hole mounting.
Packages: 3 pin SOT23W (suffix LH),
and 3 pin SIP (suffix UA)
The A3340 complements the A3240, which offers the same
features, but with the opposite output polarity.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
More detailed descriptions of the circuit operation can be found
in: Technical Paper STP 97-10, Monolithic Magnetic Hall Sensing
Using Dynamic Quadrature Offset Cancellation and Technical
Paper STP 99-1, Chopper-Stabilized Amplifiers With A Track-andHold Signal Demodulator. Operation. The output of these devices
switches high (turns off) when a magnetic field (south pole) perpendicular to the Hall element exceeds the operate point threshold (BOP). When the magnetic field is reduced below the release
point (BRP), the device output goes low (turns on). After turn-on,
the output is capable of sinking 25 mA and the output voltage is
VOUT(SAT). The difference in the magnetic operate and release
points is the hysteresis (Bhys) of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even in the presence of
external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. Applications.
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected (in close proximity to the Hall element) between the
supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise and
noise generated by the chopper stabilization technique.

Chopper-Stabilized Technique. The Hall element can be considered as a resistor array similar to a Wheatstone bridge. A large
portion of the offset is a result of the mismatching of these resistors. These devices use a proprietary dynamic offset cancellation
technique, with an internal high-frequency clock to reduce the
residual offset voltage of the Hall element that is normally caused
by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal
stress. The chopper-stabilizing technique cancels the mismatching of the resistor circuit by changing the direction of the current
flowing through the Hall plate using CMOS switches and Hall
voltage measurement taps, while maintaining the Hall-voltage
signal that is induced by the external magnetic flux. The signal
is then captured by a sample-and hold circuit and further processed using low-offset bipolar circuitry. This technique produces
devices that have an extremely stable quiescent Hall output voltage, are immune to thermal stress, and have precise recoverability
after temperature cycling. This technique will also slightly
degrade the device output repeatability. A relatively high sampling
frequency is used in order that faster signals can be processed.
