PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

HALL-EFFECT,
DIRECTION-DETECTION SENSORS
The A3421xKA and A3422xKA Hall-effect, direction-detection
sensors are a new generation of special-function integrated sensors that
are capable of sensing the direction of rotation of a ring magnet. These
transducers provide separate digital outputs that provide information on
magnet rotation speed, direction, and magnet pole count. These devices
eliminate the major manufacturing hurdles encountered in fine-pitch
direction-detection applications, namely maintaining accurate mechani-
cal location between the two active Hall elements. Here, the two Hall
elements are photolithographically aligned to better than 1
µm,
as
contrasted with 100
µm
or worse mechanical location tolerance when
manufactured discretely. These highly sensitive, temperature-stable,
magnetic transducers are ideal for use in digital-encoder systems in the
harsh environments of automotive or industrial applications. The
A3421xKA is a high-hysteresis device designed for low-resolution
pulse counting while the A3422xKA is a high-sensitivity device
optimized for use with high-density magnets.
The A3421xKA and A3422xKA monolithic integrated circuits
contain two independent Hall-effect latches whose digital outputs are
internally coupled to CMOS logic circuitry that decodes signal speed
and direction. Extremely low-drift BiCMOS circuitry is used for the
amplifiers to ensure symmetry between the two latches so that signal
quadrature can be maintained. An on-chip voltage regulator allows the
use of these devices from a 4.5 V to 18 V supply. Both devices have
standard open-collector outputs; the logic operation of both devices is
the same.
Two operating temperature ranges are provided; suffix ‘E–’ is for
the automotive and industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C,
suffix ‘L–’ is for the automotive and military temperature range of
-40°C to +150°C. The 5-pin ‘KA’ SIP package provides a cost-com-
petitive solution to linear magnetic sensing in harsh environments.

NOTES:1. Magnetic flux density is measured at most sensitive area of device,
nominally located 0.014” (0.37 mm) below the branded face of the package.
2. Typical Data is at V
CC
= 12 V and T
A
= +25°C and is for design information only.
3. As used here, negative flux densities are defined as less than zero (algebraic convention).
