Hall effect IC A1346 series

programmable

The A1346 is the ideal solution for safety-critical applications. It incorporates full die redundancy with the added benefits of advanced diagnostics. The combination of these two features allow for a higher level of diagnostics without interruption to the application (where diagnostics would otherwise render a die temporarily nonresponsive). This combination also allows the controller to know which die to trust when the output of the die do not agree. The A1346 device has dual high-precision, programmable Hall-effect linear sensor integrated circuits (IC) with open-drain outputs, for both automotive and nonautomotive applications. The signal paths of the A1346 provides flexibility through external programming that allows the generation of accurate and customized outputs from an input magnetic signal. The A1346 is an especially configurable and robust solution for the most demanding linear field sensor applications. The BiCMOS, monolithic integrated circuits incorporate on each SoC: a Hall sensing 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, advanced output linearization circuitry, and advanced diagnostic detection. The A1346 provides an unmatched level of customer reprogrammable options. A key feature of the A1346 is its ability to produce a highly linear device output for nonlinear input magnetic fields. To achieve this, the device features 16-segment customer programmable linearization, where a unique linearization coefficient factor is applied to each segment.
