Bipolar Hall-Effect Digital Switches
The Allegro® A1205 Hall-effect bipolar switch is a next-generation replacement and extension of the popular Allegro A3134 bipolar switch. The A1205 has identical specifications as the A1201 but is recommended for applications that require pulsing VCC to conserve power. For standard applications, where VCC is constant, please refer to the A1201 through A1204 devices.
Overall, the A120x family, produced with BiCMOS technology, consists of continuous-time devices that feature fast power-on time and low-noise operation. Device programming is performed after packaging to ensure increased switchpoint accuracy by eliminating offsets that can be induced by package stress. Unique Hall element geometries and low-offset amplifiers help to minimize noise and to reduce the residual offset voltage normally caused by device overmolding, temperature excursions, and thermal stress.
The A120x Hall-effect bipolar switches include the following on a single silicon chip: voltage regulator, Hall-voltage generator, small-signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and NMOS output transistor. The integrated voltage regulator permits operation from 3.8 to 24 V. The extensive on-board protection circuitry makes possible a ±30 V absolute maximum voltage rating for superior protection in automotive and motor commutation applications, without adding external components.
The small geometries of the BiCMOS process allow these devices to be provided in ultrasmall packages. The package styles available provide magnetically optimized solutions for most applications. Package LH is a SOT23W miniature thin-profile surface-mount package, while package UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for throughhole mounting. Each package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin plated leadframes.
