Product catalog summary
Overview: The Allegro A1366 is a high-precision, factory-programmable linear Hall-effect current sensor IC. It is designed for applications requiring high accuracy and resolution, such as HEV inverters, DC-to-DC converters, and electric power steering. The sensor features proprietary temperature compensation technology to maintain flat sensitivity and offset across a wide temperature range.
Key Features:
  • Factory-programmed sensitivity and quiescent output voltage with high resolution.
  • Temperature compensation technology ensuring 1% accuracy across the operating temperature range.
  • Low noise and high resolution due to advanced Hall element and amplifier circuits.
  • 120 kHz nominal bandwidth with chopper stabilization techniques.
  • Patented circuits to suppress output spiking during fast current step inputs.
  • Open circuit detection on ground pin and undervoltage lockout for VCC below specification.
Specifications:
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 150°C.
  • Package: 4-pin SIP, 1 mm case thickness, lead-free.
  • Supply voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V.
  • Output voltage proportional to applied magnetic field.
  • High reliability with built-in broken ground wire detection.
Performance Characteristics:
  • Sensitivity options: 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mV/G.
  • Quiescent output voltage: 2.5V typical.
  • Noise levels: 1.1 mGRMS/√Hz.
  • Output load resistance: 4.7 kΩ.
  • Output load capacitance: up to 10 nF.
Functional Descriptions:
  • Power-On Reset (POR) and Undervoltage Lock-Out (UVLO): Describes the operation during power-up and power-down, including conditions for entering and exiting high impedance states.
  • Broken Wire Detection: Explains the device's behavior when the ground wire is disconnected and how it resumes normal operation upon reconnection.
Chopper Stabilization Technique: This technique minimizes Hall offset on the chip, crucial for maintaining accurate and reliable output across various temperature and voltage ranges. It involves modulation-demodulation to separate the undesired offset signal from the magnetic field-induced signal, allowing the latter to pass through a low-pass filter while suppressing the DC offset.
Design and Packaging: The sensor is available in a 4-pin SIP package with specific dimensions provided. The document emphasizes the importance of alignment and protection during shipment.
Usage and Limitations: Allegro MicroSystems advises verifying current specifications before ordering and cautions against using their products in life support systems where failure could cause harm. A disclaimer is included regarding the accuracy and reliability of the information provided.
Revision History: The document was initially released on May 1, 2014, with a note on Allegro's right to make changes to improve product performance and reliability.

A1366 Low Noise, High Precision, Factory-Programmed Linear Hall Effect Sensor IC With Advanced Temperature Compensation and High Bandwidth (120 kHz) Analog Output Description Factory programmed sensitivity and quiescent output voltage with high resolution Proprietary segmented linear interpolated temperature compensation (TC) technology provides a typical accuracy of 1% across the full operating temperature range Extremely low noise and high resolution achieved via proprietary Hall element and low noise amplifier circuits 120 kHz nominal bandwidth achieved via proprietary packaging and chopper stabilization techniques Patented circuits suppress IC output spiking during fast current step inputs Open circuit detection on ground pin (broken wire) Undervoltage lockout for VCC below specification Continued on the next page… The Allegro™ A1366 factory-programmable linear Halleffect current sensor IC has been designed to achieve high accuracy and resolution. The goal is achieved through new proprietary linearly interpolated temperature compensation technology that is programmed at the Allegro factory, which provides sensitivity and offset that are virtually flat across the full operating temperature range. The flat performance over temperature makes this IC ideally suited for current sensing applications. Temperature compensation is done in the digital domain with integrated EEPROM technology without sacrificing the analog signal path bandwidth, making this device ideal for HEV inverter, DC-to-DC converter, and electric power steering (EPS) applications. This ratiometric Hall-effect sensor IC provides a voltage output that is proportional to the applied magnetic field. Sensitivity and quiescent (zero field) output voltage are factory programmed with high resolution which provides for an accuracy of less than ±1%, typical, over temperature. The sensor IC incorporates a highly sensitive Hall element with a BiCMOS interface integrated circuit that employs a low noise, small-signal high-gain amplifier, as well as a low-impedance output stage, and a proprietary, high bandwidth dynamic offset Not to scale Continued on the next page… Functional Block Diagram V+ VCC Programming Control Temperature Sensor Dynamic Offset Cancellation Sensitivity Control EEPROM and Control Logic Signal Recovery
