HAL 320
Differential Hall-Effect Sensor IC
Release Note: Revision bars indicate significant
changes to the previous edition.

DATA SHEET
– Distance between Hall plates: 2.25 mm
– Operates from 4.5 V to 24 V supply voltage
– Switching offset compensation at 62 kHz
1. Introduction
The HAL 320 is a differential Hall switch produced in
CMOS technology. The sensor includes two tempera-
ture-compensated Hall plates (2.25 mm apart) with
active offset compensation, a differential amplifier with
a Schmitt trigger, and an open-drain output transistor
(see Fig. 2–1).
The HAL 320 is a differential sensor which responds to
spatial differences of the magnetic field. The Hall volt-
ages at the two Hall plates, S1 and S2, are amplified
with a differential amplifier. The differential signal is
compared with the actual switching level of the internal
Schmitt trigger. Accordingly, the output transistor is
switched on or off.
The sensor has a bipolar switching behavior and
requires positive and negative values of
B = BS1
BS2 for correct operation.
Basically, there are two ways to generate the differen-
tial signal
B:
Rotating a multi-pole-ring in front of the branded side
of the package (see Fig. 3–1, Fig. 3–2, and Fig. 3–3;
Please use HAL 300 only).
– Back-bias applications: A magnet on the back side
of the package generates a back-bias field at both
Hall plates. The differential signal
B
results from
the magnetic modulation of the back-bias field by a
rotating ferromagnetic target (Please use HAL 320
only).
The active offset compensation leads to constant mag-
netic characteristics over supply voltage and tempera-
ture.
The sensor is designed for industrial and automotive
applications and operates with supply voltages from
4.5 V to 24 V in the ambient temperature range from
–40 °C up to 150 °C.
The HAL 320 is an ideal sensor for target wheel appli-
cations, ignition timing, anti-lock brake systems, and
revolution counting in extreme automotive and indus-
trial environments
The HAL 320 is available in the SMD-package
SOT89B-2 and in the leaded versions TO92UA-3 and
TO92UA-4.
– Overvoltage protection
– Reverse-voltage protection at V
DD
-pin
– Short-circuit protected open-drain output by thermal
shutdown
– Operates with magnetic fields from DC to 10 kHz
– Output turns low with magnetic south pole on
branded side of package and with a higher magnetic
flux density in sensitive area S1 as in S2
– On-chip temperature compensation circuitry mini-
mizes shifts of the magnetic parameters over tem-
perature and supply voltage range
– The decrease of magnetic flux density caused by
rising temperature in the sensor system is compen-
sated by a built-in negative temperature coefficient
of hysteresis
1.2. Marking Code
All Hall sensors have a marking on the package sur-
face (branded side). This marking includes the name
of the sensor and the temperature range.

1.3. Operating Junction Temperature Range (TJ)
The Hall sensors from Micronas are specified to the
chip temperature (junction temperature T
J
).
The HAL 320 is available in following temperature
ranges:
A: T
J
= –40 °C to +170 °C
I: T
J
= –20 °C to +125 °C
C: T

1.5. Solderability and Welding
Soldering
During soldering reflow processing and manual
reworking, a component body temperature of 260
C
should not be exceeded.
Welding
Device terminals should be compatible with laser and
electrical resistance welding. Please, note that the
success of the welding process is subject to different
welding parameters which will vary according to the
welding technique used. A very close control of the
welding parameters is absolutely necessary in order to
reach satisfying results. Micronas, therefore, does not
give any implied or express warranty as to the ability to
weld the component.
