Description
TheA1351 device is a high precision, programmable linear Hall
effect sensor IC with a pulse width modulated (PWM) output.
The duty cycle, D, of the PWM output signal is proportional
to an applied magnetic field. The A1351 device converts an
analog signal from its internal Hall element to a digitally
encoded PWM output signal. The coupled noise immunity of
the digitally encoded PWM output is far superior to the noise
immunity of an analog output signal. A simple RC network
can be used to convert the digital PWM signal back to analog
signal.
The BiCMOS, monolithic circuit inside of theA1351 integrates
a Hall element, precision temperature-compensating circuitry
to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity and offset drift of the Hall
element, a small-signal high-gain amplifier, proprietary
dynamic offset cancellation circuits, and PWM conversion
circuitry. The dynamic offset cancellation circuits reduce
the residual offset voltage of the Hall element. Hall element
offset is normally caused by device over molding, temperature
dependencies, and thermal stress. The high frequency offset
cancellation (chopping) clock allows for a greater sampling
rate, which increases the accuracy of the output signal and
results in faster signal processing capability.
