Dual, 2-Wire Hall-Effect Sensor Interface with
Analog and Digital Outputs
General Description
The MAX9621 is a continuation of the Maxim family of Hall-effect sensor interfaces that already includes the MAX9921. The MAX9621 provides a single-chip solution to interface two 2-wire Hall-effect sensors to low-voltage microprocessors (FP) through either a digital output for Hall-effect switches or an analog output for linear infor­mation or both.
The MAX9621 protects the Hall sensors from supply transients up to 60V at the BAT supply. Normal operating supply voltage ranges from 5.5V to 18V. If the BAT sup­ply rises above 18V, the MAX9621 shuts off the current to the Hall sensors. When a short-to-ground fault condition is detected, the current to the Hall input is shut off and the condition is indicated at the analog output by a zero­current level and a high digital output.
The MAX9621 provides a minimum of 50Fs blanking time following Hall sensor power-up or restart. The open­drain digital outputs are compatible with logic levels up to 5.5V.
The MAX9621 is available in a 3mm x 5mm, 10-pin FMAXM package and is rated for operation in the -40NC to +125NC temperature range.

Open-Drain Output. Signal translated from Hall sensor 1. DOUT1 is high when the current flowing out of IN1 exceeds the input current threshold high, and is low when less than the input current threshold low. See Table 1 for output response to operating conditions.
Analog Current Output. Mirrors the current to the corresponding Hall sensor at IN1. When IN1 has been shut down due to a short to GND a current of zero is supplied to AOUT1. See Table 1 for output response to operating conditions. To obtain a voltage output, connect a resistor from AOUT_ to ground.
Sleep Mode Input. The part is placed in sleep mode when the SLEEP input is low for more than 40Fs. If the SLEEP input is low for less than 20Fs and then goes high, the part restarts any Hall input that has been shut off due to a detected short to GND. Any Hall input that is operational is not affected when SLEEP is cycled low for less than 20Fs. There is an internal 100kI pulldown resistance to GND.
MAX9621
Detailed Description
The MAX9621, an interface between two 2-wire Hall­effect sensors and a low-voltage microprocessor, sup­plies and monitors current through IN1 and IN2 to two Hall sensors.
The MAX9621 complements Maxim’s existing family of Hall-effect sensor interfaces that includes the MAX9921.
outputs low when the current flowing out of IN1 or IN2, respectively, is lower than the low-input current threshold. DOUT1 and DOUT2 provide a time domain output filter for robust noise immunity. See Figure 2.
The analog outputs (AOUT1 and AOUT2) mirror the cur­rent flowing out to the corresponding inputs IN1 and IN2 with a nominal gain of 0.05mA/mA.
Hall Sensor Protection
from Supply Transients
The MAX9621 protects the hall sensors from supply transients by shutting off current at IN1 and IN2 when the BAT voltage is 18V. The digital outputs go low and analog outputs have zero output current. When V returns to the proper operating range, both inputs restart following a blanking cycle.

Hall Input Short-to-Battery Condition
The MAX9621 interprets a short to battery when the volt­age at IN1 or IN2 is higher than V tal outputs go low and the analog outputs are set to zero output current. If IN1 or IN2 is more than 1V above V it back-drives current into BAT. The MAX9621 restarts the Hall inputs when the Hall input is loaded again.
Hall Input Short to Ground
The Hall input short-to-ground fault is effectively a latched condition if the input remains loaded by the Hall switch. The current required to power the Hall switch is shut off and only a 50µA pullup current remains. The Hall input can be manually reenergized or it can be reener­gized by the µP. A 10µs to 20µs negative pulse at SLEEP restarts with a blanking cycle any Hall input that has been shut down due to the short-to-ground condition. During startup or restart, it is possible for a Hall input to charge up an external capacitance of 0.02µF without

Manual Method for Reenergizing Hall
Sensor and Means for Diagnosing an
Intermittent Hall Sensor Connection
Figure 3 shows the behavior of the MAX9621 when a Hall input is open. Figure 4 shows the behavior of the MAX9621 when the open input is reconnected to a Hall sensor. Figures 3 and 4 demonstrate how a short-to­ground Hall input can be reset. Resetting a short-to­ground Hall input involves three steps:
1) Relieve the short to ground at the Hall sensor.
,
2) Disconnect the Hall input from the Hall sensor (open­input fault condition).
3) Reconnect the Hall input to the Hall sensor.

Sleep Mode Input (SLEEP)
The MAX9621 features an active-low SLEEP input. Pull SLEEP low for more than 40Fs to put the device into
sleep mode for power saving. In sleep mode, the DOUT1 and DOUT2 outputs are high impedance and are pulled high by pullup resistors. AOUT1 and AOUT2 are set to zero-output current.
Hall Input Restart
When an input has been shut down due to a short to ground, cycle SLEEP for 10Fs to 20Fs to restart the input.
I is the mean of the threshold current limits, R is the value of the R I0 = 0.03717mA, and the constant m = -0.001668 (1/(kΩ x mA)).
The following equation is useful for finding the value of R

If the other input is operational it is not affected. The restart happens on the rising edge of SLEEP.

To compute the typical input current thresholds from the mean input current, it is necessary to obtain the hyster­esis. The following equation finds the hysteresis given the mean threshold current, I:
where H0 = -0.033463 in mA, and k = -0.08414 in mA/mA.
threshold low = I + H/2. Conversely, time and delay parameters are linear and directly proportional to R

The difference between the maximum and minimum threshold current limits is the min/max limit spread, which is greater than the threshold hysteresis. The min/max spread and the hysteresis both change by the same per­centage as the mean of the threshold current limits. The following equation is useful for finding the mean of the threshold current limits given a value of R

The digital output can be used to provide the FP with an
interrupt signal that can represent a Hall sensor change
of status. DOUT1 and DOUT2 provide a time domain
The analog output can be connected to an ADC with an
appropriate load resistor, and can be used to perform
custom diagnostics.

Sleep Mode
Sleep mode can be used in applications that do not continuously require the polling of the Hall sensors. In such cases, the FP can enable the MAX9621 for a short time, check the sensor status, and then put the MAX9621 back to sleep. A blanking period follows upon exiting sleep mode.
Remote Ground
The MAX9621 targets applications with 2-wire Hall-effect sensors. 2-wire sensors have connections for supply and ground. The output level is signaled by means of modula­tion of the current drawn by the Hall sensor from its supply. The two threshold currents for high/low are generally in the range of 5mA to 14mA. Thus, the interfacing of a 2-wire sensor is not simply a matter of detecting two voltage thresholds, but requires a coarse current-sense function.
Because of the high-side current-sense structure of the MAX9621, the device is immune to shifts between the
sensor ground, the ground of the MAX9621 and FP. This
ground-shift immunity eliminates the need for a ground-
connection wire, allowing a single-wire interface to the
Hall sensor.
Hall-Effect Sensor Selection
The MAX9621 is optimized for use with 2-wire Hall-effect
switches or with 3-wire Hall-effect switches connected
as 2-wire (Figure 5). When using a 3-wire Hall sensor the
resistor R is chosen so that the current drawn by the Hall
sensor crosses the MAX9621 current threshold when
the magnetic threshold of the Hall sensor is exceeded.
A partial list of Hall switches that can be used with the
MAX9621 is given in Table 2.
Input Current Threshold Precision
To get the best input current threshold precision, it is rec-
ommended that the R
