These Hall-effect latches are capable of sensing magnetic fields
while using an unprotected power supply. The A3195– can provide
position and speed information by providing a digital output for magnetic fields that exceed their predefined switch points. These devices
operate down to zero speed and have switch points that are designed
to be extremely stable over a wide operating temperature and voltage
range. The latching characteristics make them ideal for use in pulse
counting applications when used with a multi-pole ring magnet.
A 25 mA high-side driver combined with an active pull-down is especially useful for driving capacitive loads. Output short-circuit protection
allows for an increased wiring harness fault tolerance. The temperature compensated switch points, the wide operating voltage range, and
the integrated protection make these devices ideal for use in automotive applications such as transmission speed sensors and integrated
wheel bearing speed sensors.

Each monolithic device contains an integrated Hall-effect transducer, a temperature-compensated comparator, a voltage regulator,
and a buffered high-side driver with an active pull-down. Supply
protection is made possible by the integration of overvoltage shutdown
circuitry that monitors supply fault conditions. Output protection
circuitry includes source and sink current current limiting for short
circuits to supply or ground.
The A3195E– is rated for operation over a temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C; the A3195L– is rated for operation over an extended
temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. They are supplied in a threelead SIP (suffix –U) or a surface-mount SOT-89 (suffix –LT).

OPERATION
In operation, the output transistor is OFF
until the strength of the magnetic field
perpendicular to the surface of the chip
exceeds the threshold or operate point (BOP).
When the field strength exceeds BOP, the
output transistor switches ON (a logic low)
and is capable of sinking 35 mA of current.
The output transistor switches OFF (a
logic high) when magnetic field reversal
results in a magnetic flux density below the
OFF threshold (BRP). This is illustrated in the
transfer characteristics graph. Note that the
device latches; that is, a south pole of
sufficient strength will turn the device ON.
Removal of the south pole will leave the
device ON. The presence of a north pole of
sufficient strength is required to turn the
device OFF.

Power supply voltage transients, or device output short circuits, may
be caused by faulty connectors, crimped wiring harnesses, or service
errors. To prevent catastrophic failure, internal protection against
overvoltage, reverse voltage, output overloads have been incorporated
to meet the automotive 12 volt system protection requirements of ISO
DP7637/1 and DIN 40839-1. A series-blocking diode or current-limiting
resistor is required in order to survive pulse number six.
Output Overloads. Current through the output source transistor is
sensed with a low-value on-chip aluminum resistor. The voltage drop
across this resistor is fed back to control the base drive of the output
stage. This feedback prevents the output transistor from exceeding its
maximum current density rating by limiting the output current to between
-26 mA and -70 mA. Under short-circuit conditions, the device will
dissipate an increased amount of power (PD = V
OUT
x I
LIMIT
) and the
output transistor will be thermally stressed.
Current through the active pull-down is
limited to between 8 mA and 25 mA.
Overvoltage. The device protects itself
against high-voltage transients by shutting
OFF the output source driver and all supplyreferenced active components, reducing the
supply current, and minimizing device
power dissipation. Overvoltage shutdown
can occur anywhere between 28 V and
55 V and device operation above 28 V
cannot be recommended. The device will
continue to operate, with increased power
dissipation, for supply voltages above the
internal clamp voltage but below the overvoltage shutdown. Under a sustained
overvoltage, the device may be required to
dissipate an increased amount of power
(PD = VCC x ICC) and the device may be
thermally stressed (see above).
Output Voltage. The output is
clamped with an on-chip Zener diode to
prevent supply overvoltage faults from
appearing at the output when the field is
less than BRP.
When any fault condition is removed,
the device returns to normal operating
mode.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The A3195– latch has been optimized for use in
automotive ring magnet sensing applications. Such
applications include transmission speed sensors, motor
position encoders, and wheel bearing speed sensors.
Special care has been taken to optimize the operation of
these devices in automotive subsystems that require ISO
DP9637 protection but NOT operation. Short-circuit
protection is included to prevent damage caused by
pinched wiring harnesses. An on-chip pull-down resistor
is provided to allow device testing without the connection
of the control module.
A typical application consists of a ferrite ring magnet
located on a rotating shaft. Typically, this shaft is attached to the transmission, the sensor is mounted on a
board, with care being taken to keep a tight tolerance on
the air gap between the package face and the magnet.
The device will provide a change in digital state at the
transition of every magnetic pole and, thus, give an
indication of the transmission speed. The high magnetic
hysteresis allows the device to be immune to vibration of
the magnet shaft and relatively good duty cycles can be
obtained.
