The A1373 and A1374 high precision linear Hall effect sensors are sensitive, temperature stable, linear devices with externally programmable features. This device
family incorporates a chopper-stabilized amplifier, voltage regulator, programming logic, and an output amplifier on a single IC. The patented dynamic offset
cancellation used with a chopper-stabilization technique provides extremely low
offset and minimal temperature drift. A high frequency clock is used for chopping,
to ensure high frequency signal processing capability. The A1373 and A1374 are
ideal for use in automotive and industrial linear position-sensing applications that
require increased reliability and accuracy over conventional contacting-potentiometer solutions. Key applications include: throttle position sensors, pedal position
sensors, and suspension height sensors.
The design and manufacturing flexibility of the A1373 and A1374 complement
the Allegro linear Hall effect family of devices by offering programmable gain,
quiescent offset voltage for unipolar or bipolar operation, temperature coefficient, clamps, and polarity. The device can be set up in a magnetic circuit
and programmed with a train of serial pulses via the output pin. Once the right
combination of gain, quiescent output voltage, and temperature coefficient has
been selected, the codes can be locked for one-time programming. In this manner,
manufacturing tolerances can be reduced and the assembly process can be simplified.
These devices are available in the KB package, a 3-pin SIP (single inline package). The lead (Pb) free version has a 100% matte tin plated leadframe.

For A1373, no digital noise is present at the output.

Step size is larger than required for the specified range, to take into account manufacturing spread.
5
Individual code step sizes can be greater than 2× larger than the step size at each significant bit rollover.
6
Average fine code step size in a given range = (Output value at highest fine code in the range – Output value at code 0 of the range) / Total quantity of
steps (codes) in the range.

Values indicated are valid if any additional magnetic field does not exceed B(kG)= ±2 (V) / Sens (mv/G), after V
8
Program the Sensitivity T/C register before programming Sensitivity Coarse and Sensitivity Fine, due to a worst case shift of ±3% in sensitivity at 25°C
at the maximum values for Sensitivity T/C: Positive T/C and Sensitivity T/C: Negative T/C. The Programming Guidelines section in this document lists a
complete recommended order for programming individual values.
9
Drift due to temperature cycling is due to package effects on the Hall transducer. The stress is reduced when the package is baked. However, it will
recover over time after removal from the bake.
