FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The Allegro™ A1367 programmable linear Hall-effect
current sensor IC has been designed to achieve high accuracy
and resolution without compromising bandwidth. This goal
is achieved through new proprietary linearly interpolated
temperature compensation technology that is programmed
at the Allegro factory and provides sensitivity and offset that
are virtually flat across the full operating temperature range.
Temperature compensation is performed in the digital domain
with integrated EEPROM technology while maintaining a
240 kHz bandwidth analog signal path, making this device
ideal for HEV inverter, DC-to-DC converter, and electric power
steering (EPS) applications.
This ratiometric Hall-effect sensor IC provides a voltage output
that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The customer
can configure the sensitivity and quiescent (zero field) output
voltage through programming on the VCC and output pins,
to optimize performance in the end application. The quiescent
output voltage is user-adjustable, around 50% (bidirectional
configuration) or 10% (unidirectional configuration) of the
supply voltage, V
CC
, and the output sensitivity is adjustable
within the range of 0.6 to 6.4 mV/G.

AEC-Q100 automotive qualified
The sensor IC incorporates a highly sensitive Hall element with
a BiCMOS interface integrated circuit that employs a low-noise
small-signal high-gain amplifier, a clamped low-impedance output
stage, and a proprietary, high-bandwidth dynamic offset cancellation
technique. These advances in Hall-effect technology work together
to provide an industry-leading sensing resolution at the full 240 kHz
bandwidth. Broken ground wire detection as well as user-selectable
output voltage clamps also are built into this device for high reliability
in automotive applications.
Device parameters are specified across an extended ambient
temperature range: –40°C to 150°C. The A1367 sensor IC is provided
in an extremely thin case (1 mm thick), 4-pin SIP (single in-line
package, suffix KT) that is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte-tin
leadframe plating.

recommends against changing Coarse Sensitivity settings when programming devices that will be used in production. Each A1367
has been factory temperature compensated at a specific sensitivity range, and changing the coarse bits setting could cause sensitivity drift
through temperature range (ΔSens
TC
) to exceed specified limits.
