Texas Instruments DRV5053

Analog bipolar linear hall effect sensor

Linear Output Hall Sensor

– –45 mV/mT (RA)
– –90 mV/mT (VA)
– +23 mV/mT (CA)
– +45 mV/mT (EA)
• Supports a Wide Voltage Range: 2.5 to 38 V – No External Regulator Required
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: TA = –40 to 125°C (Q, see Figure 17)
• Amplified Output Stage: 2.3-mA Sink, 300 µA Source
• Output Voltage: 0.2 ~ 1.8 V: B = 0 mT, OUT = 1 V
• Fast Power-On: 35 µs

The DRV5053 output stage is capable of up to 300-μA of current source or 2.3-mA sink. For proper operation, ensure that equivalent output load ROUT > 10 kΩ.
The capacitive load directly present on the OUT pin should be less than 10 nF to ensure the internal operational amplifier is stable. If an external RC filter is added to reduce noise, it is acceptable to use a resistor ≥ 200 Ω with a capacitor ≤0.1 µF.

DIODES AH49E

Melexis MLX90393 micropower programmable linear

Melexis ML90393 functional Block diagram

The MLX90393 is designed for micropower applications, with programmable duty cycles in the range of 0.1% to 100%. Single measurement mode, burst mode and wake-up on change mode.

The MLX90393 magnetic field sensor can be reprogrammed to different modes and with different settings at run-time.

The sensor offers a 16-bit output proportional to the magnetic flux density sensed along the XYZ axes using the Melexis proprietary Triaxis® technology and also offers a temperature output signal.

These digital values are available via I2C and SPI, where the MLX90393 is a slave on the bus.

For certain encoder applications speed is crucial, which is possible by increasing the duty cycle to 100% (i.e. maximum current consumption) and minimizing the conversion time (i.e. higher data rate at the expense of more noise on the signal). Other battery powered applications that only require occasional sensor readout can opt for a different trade-off: reduced duty cycle (lower current consumption) and an average conversion time for reduced noise.

Allegro A1308

New applications for linear output Hall-effect sensors, such as displacement and angular position, require higher accuracy and smaller package sizes. The Allegro A1308 and A1309 linear Hall-effect sensor ICs have been designed specifically to meet both requirements. These temperature-stable devices are available in both surface-mount and through-hole packages.

The accuracy of each device is enhanced via end-of-line optimization. Each device features nonvolatile memory to optimize device sensitivity and the quiescent voltage output (QVO: output in the absence of a magnetic field) for a given application or circuit. This A1308 and A1309 optimized performance is sustained across the full operating temperature range by programming the temperature coefficient for both sensitivity and QVO at Allegro end-of-line test.

These ratiometric Hall-effect sensor ICs provide a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The quiescent voltage output is adjusted around 50% of the supply voltage.

The features of these linear devices make them ideal for use in automotive and industrial applications requiring high accuracy, and they operate across an extended temperature range, –40°C to 150°C.
