Robust Dual-Die Programmable 2D Position Sensor Family
with Arbitrary Output Function
Release Note: Revision bars indicate significant changes to the previous edition.
1. Introduction
The HAR 37xy is the full redundant (Dual-Die) version of the well known HAL 37xy fam-
ily using the Micronas proprietary 3D HAL technology. It provides full redundancy due to
two independent dies stacked in a single package each bonded on a separate side of
the package. The stacked-die architecture ensures that both dies occupy the same
magnetic field position, thus generating synchronous measurement outputs.
This new family has several members. HAR 372x provide linear, ratiometric analog out-
put signals with integrated wire-break detection working with pull-up or pull-down resis-
tors. Compared to the HAR 372x the HAR 3715 is splitting the 360° measurement range
either into four repetitive 90° (MOD 90°) or three 120° (MOD 120°) segments. HAR 373x
features digital output formats like PWM and SENT (according SAE-J2716 release
2010). The digital output format is customer programmable. The PWM outputs are con-
figurable with frequencies between 0.2 kHz and 2 kHz with up to 12 bit resolution.
Conventional planar Hall technology is only sensitive to the magnetic field orthogonal to
the chip surface. In addition to the orthogonal magnetic field, HAR 37xy is also sensitive
to magnetic fields applied in parallel to the chip surface. This is possible by integrating
vertical Hall plates into the standard CMOS process.
The sensor cell can measure three magnetic field components BX, BY, and BZ. This
enables a new set of applications for position detection, like wide distance, angle or
through-shaft angular measurements. The table below describes the different family
members.

DATA SHEET
HAR 3715, HAR 372x, HAR 373x
On-chip signal processing calculates the angle out of two of the magnetic field compo-
nents and converts this value to an output signal. Due to the measurement method, the
sensor exhibits excellent drift performance over the specified temperature range result-
ing in a new class of accuracy for angular or linear measurements.
Additionally to the built-in signal processing, the sensor features an arbitrary program-
mable characteristic for linearization of the output signal (with up to 33 setpoints).
Major characteristics like gain and temperature dependent offset of X/Y- and Z-channel,
reference position, phase shift between X/Y- and Z-signal, hysteresis, low-pass filter
frequency, output slope, and offset and clamping levels can be adjusted to the magnetic
circuitry by programming the non-volatile memory.
The sensor contains advanced on-board diagnostic features that enhance fail-safe
detection. In addition to standard checks, such as overvoltage and undervoltage detec-
tion and wire break, internal blocks such as ROM and signal path are monitored during
normal operation. For devices with a selected PWM output, the error modes are indi-
cated by a change of PWM frequency and duty-cycle. For SENT output a dedicated
error code will be transmitted.
The devices are designed for automotive and industrial applications and operate with
junction temperature from
40
°C up to 170 °C.
The sensors are available in a very small eight-pin SOIC8 package. The package outlines
and the X-Y position of the sensitive areas are identical to the single-die version HAL 37xy.
1.1. Major Applications
Thanks to its redundancy capability, HAR 37xy can address safety-critical applications
according to ISO26262 rules. Sensor’s versatile programming characteristics and its
high accuracy, make the HAR 37xy the optimal system solution for applications such as:
– Linear movement measurement,
• Dual-Clutch transmission
• Engine stroke sensor
• Clutch pedal position
• Cylinder and valve position sensing
– Rotary position measurement, like
• Gear selector
• Throttle valve position, etc.
• Chassis position sensors (ride-height control) with HAR 3715
– Joystick
– Non-contact potentiometer
