Description
New applications for linear output Hall-effect devices, such
as displacement, angular position, and current measurement,
require high accuracy in conjunction with small package size.
The Allegro
™
A1324, A1325, and A1326 linear Hall-effect
sensor ICs are designed specifically to achieve both goals. This
temperature-stable device is available in a miniature surface
mount package (SOT23W) and an ultra-mini through-hole
single in-line package.
These ratiometric Hall effect sensor ICs provide a voltage
output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. They
feature a quiescent voltage output of 50% of the supply voltage.
The A1324/25/26 feature factory programmed sensitivities of
5.0 mV/G, 3.125 mV/G, and 2.5 mV/G, respectively.
The features of these linear devices make them ideal for
use in automotive and industrial applications requiring high
accuracy, and operate through an extended temperature range,
–40°C to 150°C.
Each BiCMOS monolithic circuit integrates a Hall element,
temperature-compensating circuitry to reduce the intrinsic
sensitivity drift of the Hall element, a small-signal high-gain
amplifier, a clamped low-impedance output stage, and a
proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique.

Characteristic Definitions
Power-On Time
When the supply is ramped to its operating
voltage, the device output requires a finite time to react to an
input magnetic field. Power-On Time is defined as the time it
takes for the output voltage to begin responding to an applied
magnetic field after the power supply has reached its minimum
specified operating voltage, V

changes with temperature, with respect to its sensitivity tem-
perature coefficient, TC

Quiescent Voltage Output
In the quiescent state (that is, with
no significant magnetic field: B = 0), the output, V

ing range of V

Quiescent Voltage Output Drift Through Temperature
Range
Due to internal component tolerances and thermal con-
siderations, the quiescent voltage output, V

its nominal value through the operating ambient temperature

The presence of a south-polarity magnetic field
perpendicular to the branded surface of the package increases the
output voltage from its quiescent value toward the supply voltage
rail. The amount of the output voltage increase is proportional
to the magnitude of the magnetic field applied. Conversely, the
application of a north polarity field will decrease the output volt-
