Device Low-Power Functionality
A139x are low-power Hall effect sensor ICs that are perfect for
power sensitive customer applications. The current consumption
of these devices is typically 3.2 mA, while the device is in the
active mode, and less than 25 μA when the device is in the sleep
mode. Toggling the logic level signal connected to the S
¯
¯
L
¯
¯
E
¯
¯

¯
P

pin
drives the device into either the active mode or the sleep mode.
A logic low sleep signal drives the device into the sleep mode,
while a logic high sleep signal drives the device into the active
mode.
In the case in which the VREF pin is powered before the VCC
pin, the device will not operate within the specified limits until
the supply voltage is equal to the reference voltage. When the
device is switched from the sleep mode to the active mode, a time
defined by t
PON
must elapse before the output of the device is
valid. The device output transitions into the high impedance state
approximately t
POFF
seconds after a logic low signal is applied to
the S

pin (see figure 1).
If possible, it is recommended to power-up the device in the
sleep mode. However, if the application requires that the device
be powered on in the active mode, then a 10 kΩ resistor in series
with the S
¯

Device Supply Ratiometry Application Circuit
Figures 2 and 3 present applications where the VCC pin is con-
nected together with the VREF pin of the A139x. Both of these
pins are connected to the battery, Vbat2. In this case, the device
output will be ratiometric with respect to the battery voltage.
The only difference between these two applications is that the
S
¯
¯
L
¯
¯
E
¯
¯
E
¯
¯
P
¯
pin in figure 2 is connected to the Vbat2 potential, so the
device is always in the active mode. In figure 3, the S
¯
¯
L
¯
¯
E
¯
¯
E
¯
¯
P
¯
pin is
toggled by the microprocessor; therefore, the device is selectively
and periodically toggled between active mode and sleep mode.
In both figures, the device output is connected to the input of an
A-to-D converter. In this configuration, the converter reference
voltage is Vbat1.
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected, in close proximity to the A139x device, between the
VCC and GND pins of the device to reduce both external noise
and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization circuits inside of
the A139x.

pin is tied to the microprocessor supply.

sleep mode also is controlled by the microprocessor.
In figures 4 and 5, the microprocessor supply voltage determines
the ratiometric performance of the A139x output signal. As in the
circuits shown in figures 2 and 3, the device is powered by the
Vbat2 supply, but in this case, ratiometry is determined by the
microprocessor supply, Vbat1.

as configured in figure 4 is constantly in active mode, while
the device as confiugred in figure 5 can be periodically toggled
between the active and sleep modes.
The capacitor C
filter
is optional, and can be used to prevent pos-
sible noise transients from the microprocessor supply reaching
the device reference pin, VREF.
It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be
connected, in close proximity to the A139x device, between the
VCC and GND pins of the device to reduce both external noise
and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization circuits inside of
the A139x.
