DESCRIPTION
The ATS344 device is a high-precision, back-biased
programmable Hall-effect linear sensor integrated circuit (IC)
with a conf igurable current-mode pulse-width-modulated output,
for both automotive and non-automotive applications. Integrated
within the ATS344 are two Hall-effect sensing elements, signal
processing circuitry, and a rare-earth magnetic pellet. The
magnetic pellet provides a common-mode magnetic bias while
the outputs of the two sensing elements are subtracted, amplified,
and processed to produce an output proportional to the differential
magnetic input signal. The differential magnetic input signal is
typically produced from influence of a ferromagnetic target.
The ATS344 is well-suited for applications that require axial
position sensing of a rotating target.
The signal path of the ATS344 provides flexibility through
external programming that allows the generation of an accurate,
and customized output response from a ferromagnetic target
perturbation. The ATS344 provides up to 10 bits of resolution.
This part is calibrated at the factory to ensure the most stable
response over specified conditions.
The BiCMOS monolithic integrated circuit incorporates two
Hall sensor elements and precision temperature-compensating
circuitry to reduce the intrinsic sensitivity and offset drift or
mismatch of the differential Hall elements. The amplif ication
and analog-to-digital conversion path is designed to ensure
optimal channel matching through the use of proprietary
dynamic offset cancellation circuits, and advanced active stress
compensation to reduce lifetime drift.

ATS344
High-Precision Linear Hall-Effect Sensor IC with Two-Wire
Current-Mode PWM Output and an Integrated Rare-Earth Pellet Package
With on-board EEPROM and advanced signal processing
functions, the ATS344 provides an unmatched level of customer
reprogrammable options for characteristics such as gain and offset,
bandwidth, and output clamps. In addition, the device supports
separate hot and cold temperature compensation.
The ATS344 in the 3-pin SIP package (SP suffix)
complies with the requirements of EU Directive
RoHS
2002/95/EC (RoHS) and 2011/65/EU (RoHS II),
amended by 2015/863/EU, on the Restriction of the
use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic
equipment. The package contains an integrated SmCo rare-earth
pellet.
