GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD22151 is a linear magnetic field transducer. The sensor
output is a voltage proportional to a magnetic field applied
perpendicularly to the package top surface.
The sensor combines integrated bulk Hall cell technology and
instrumentation circuitry to minimize temperature related drifts
associated with silicon Hall cell characteristics. The architecture
maximizes the advantages of a monolithic implementation while
allowing sufficient versatility to meet varied application requirements with a minimum number of components.
Principal features include dynamic offset drift cancellation
and a built-in temperature sensor. Designed for single 5 V
supply operation, the AD22151 achieves low drift offset and
gain operation over –40∞C to +150∞C. Temperature compensation can accommodate a number of magnetic materials commonly
utilized in economic position sensor assemblies.
The transducer can be configured for specific signal gains to
meet various application requirements. Output voltage can be
adjusted from fully bipolar (reversible) field operation to fully
unipolar field sensing.
The voltage output achieves near rail-to-rail dynamic range,
capable of supplying 1 mA into large capacitive loads. The
signal is ratiometric to the positive supply rail in all configurations.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to the absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD22151 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The AD22151 consists of epi Hall plate structures located at the
center of the die. The Hall plates are orthogonally sampled by
commutation switches via a differential amplifier. The two
amplified Hall signals are synchronously demodulated to provide a
resultant offset cancellation (see Figure 3). The demodulated
signal passes through a noninverting amplifier to provide final
gain and drive capability. The frequency at which the output
signal is refreshed is 50 kHz.

characteristic of the AD22151.
This is the observable alteration of gain with respect to temperature with Pin 3 (TC3) held at a constant 2.5 V (uncompensated).
If a permanent magnet source used in conjunction with the
sensor also displays an intrinsic TC (B
), it will require factoring
TC
into the total temperature compensation of the sensor assembly.
Figures 5 and 6 represent typical overall temperature/gain performance for a sensor and field combination (B
= –200 ppm).

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCIES
The uncompensated gain temperature coefficient (G
TCU
) of the
AD22151 is the result of fundamental physical properties associated with silicon bulk Hall plate structures. Low doped Hall
plates operated in current bias mode exhibit a temperature
relationship determined by the action of scattering mechanisms
and doping concentration.
The relative value of sensitivity to magnetic field can be altered
by the application of mechanical force upon silicon. The mechanism is principally the redistribution of electrons throughout the
