Overview

A1140/41/42/43 Sensitive Two-Wire Chopper-Stabilized Unipolar Hall-Effect Switches The A1140, A1141, A1142, and A1143 devices are sensitive, two-wire, unipolar, Hall effect switches that are factory-programmed at end-of-line to optimize magnetic switchpoint accuracy.

These devices are produced on the Allegro MicroSystems advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication process, which implements a patented, high-frequency, chopper-stabilization technique that achieves magnetic stability and eliminates the offsets that are inherent in single-element devices exposed to harsh application environments.

Commonly found in a number of automotive applications, the A1140-43 family of devices are utilized to sense: seat track position, seat belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift selector position.

Key Features

  • on-chip transient protection, and a Zener clamp to protect against overvoltage conditions on the supply line. The output currents of the A1141 and A1143 switch HIGH in the presence of a south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength; and switch LOW otherwise, including when there is no significant magnetic field present. The A1140 and A1142 have inverted output current levels: switching LOW in the presence of a south polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength, and HIGH otherwise. The devices.
