Product details
Overview
A1308LLHLX-5-T from Allegro MicroSystems is a ratiometric linear Hall-effect sensor IC designed for high-accuracy angular and displacement sensing in compact automotive and industrial systems. It delivers 5 mV/G sensitivity, operates from –40°C to 150°C, features programmable QVO temperature coefficient, and uses a 3-pin SOT-23W surface-mount package with 2 mm × 3 mm × 1 mm footprint.
For engineers reviewing the A1308LLHLX-5-T datasheet, A1308LLHLX-5-T pinout, A1308LLHLX-5-T application, or A1308LLHLX-5-T equivalent, this device supports precision magnetic field measurement in space-constrained, high-temperature environments requiring stable analog output, UVLO protection, and chopper-stabilized offset cancellation.
Technical Context
The A1308LLHLX-5-T integrates a BiCMOS monolithic circuit with Hall element, dynamic offset cancellation, temperature-compensating circuitry, and a clamped low-impedance output stage. Its high-speed chopping scheme (400 kHz) minimizes quiescent voltage output (QVO) drift across temperature, while end-of-line programming sets both sensitivity and QVO temperature coefficients at 150°C for L-temp variants.
This device implements ratiometric operation - VOUT(Q), sensitivity, and clamp voltages scale proportionally with VCC - and includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.5 V turn-off and 3 V turn-on thresholds. Output voltage clamps (0.40–0.70 V low, 4.35–4.65 V high) enable short-circuit diagnostics without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 4.85–5.15 mV/G - enables precise analog field measurement with ±0.5% typical deviation at 25°C |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control applications |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - ratiometric output ensures consistent scaling across supply variation |
| Quiescent Output (QVO) | 2.488–2.512 V at 25°C - centered at 50% of VCC for maximum signal swing and noise margin |
| Internal Bandwidth | 20 kHz - supports real-time position feedback in fast-moving mechanical systems |
| Chopping Frequency | 400 kHz - suppresses thermal and mechanical stress-induced offset drift |
| Output Clamp Range | 0.40–0.70 V (low), 4.35–4.65 V (high) - provides built-in short-circuit fault detection |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-pin SOT-23W, surface-mount, 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm, lead-free with 100% matte-tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Must be bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor to GND; powers internal regulator and analog circuitry |
| VOUT | Analog output signal | Ratiometric voltage proportional to magnetic field; low-impedance, clamped, supports ≤10 nF load capacitance |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply current and output sink/source; critical for noise immunity and offset stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| End-of-line optimized QVO & sensitivity | Nonvolatile memory stores calibrated values, ensuring accuracy across full temperature range without external trimming |
| Programmable QVO temperature coefficient | Set at Allegro's test line for L-temp devices (150°C), reducing ∆VOUT(Q) drift to ≤±30 mV over –40°C to +150°C |
| High-bandwidth analog output | 20 kHz small-signal bandwidth enables responsive position tracking in servo and actuator loops |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Hysteresis between 2.5 V (turn-off) and 3 V (turn-on) prevents erratic output during brown-out conditions |
| Output voltage clamps | Integrated high/low clamps provide diagnostic capability - output saturates predictably during wiring faults or shorts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear Hall-effect sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1308LLHLX-3-T | Sensitivity 3.125 mV/G (vs. 5 mV/G); identical package, temp range, and architecture | Better suited for medium-field applications where higher output swing isn't required and lower noise floor is prioritized | Select when magnetic field strength is ≥300 G and system gain budget allows reduced sensitivity |
| A1309LLHLX-9-T | Sensitivity 9 mV/G; same L-temp rating (–40°C to 150°C), SOT-23W package, but higher gain and tighter initial tolerance | Optimized for low-field detection (e.g., proximity sensing) where resolution below 100 G is critical | Choose for ultra-high-resolution applications requiring >1.5× sensitivity; verify output headroom against 5 V supply |
Compared with A1308LLHLX-3-T and A1309LLHLX-9-T, the A1308LLHLX-5-T offers balanced sensitivity for mid-range field detection (100–600 G), optimal signal-to-noise ratio in constrained PCB layouts, and proven robustness in high-thermal-cycling automotive deployments.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the A1308LLHLX-5-T?
The A1308LLHLX-5-T is rated for –40°C to +150°C ambient operation, matching the SOT-23W "L" temperature grade. This range is validated per AEC-Q100 qualification and supports under-hood automotive use cases such as throttle and transmission position sensing where junction temperatures may exceed 125°C.
Does the A1308LLHLX-5-T require an external bypass capacitor?
Yes - the A1308LLHLX-5-T requires a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the pins. This capacitor stabilizes the internal regulator, reduces noise coupling, and ensures proper operation of the chopper-stabilized amplifier and dynamic offset cancellation circuitry within the A1308LLHLX-5-T.
How does the A1308LLHLX-5-T achieve stable quiescent output over temperature?
The A1308LLHLX-5-T achieves stable quiescent output by programming both the QVO temperature coefficient and sensitivity temperature coefficient during Allegro's end-of-line test at 150°C. This factory calibration compensates for intrinsic Hall element drift, resulting in ≤±30 mV QVO drift across –40°C to +150°C - a key performance differentiator of the A1308LLHLX-5-T.
Can the A1308LLHLX-5-T be used in reverse-polarity magnetic field detection?
No - the A1308LLHLX-5-T is a forward-polarity linear Hall-effect sensor with positive sensitivity (+5 mV/G). For reverse-polarity detection, Allegro offers the A1309LLHLX-RP9-T (–9 mV/G), which shares the same SOT-23W package and temperature range but is functionally distinct from the A1308LLHLX-5-T.
What is the purpose of the output voltage clamps in the A1308LLHLX-5-T?
The A1308LLHLX-5-T includes integrated output clamps (0.40–0.70 V low, 4.35–4.65 V high) to provide diagnostic capability during wiring faults. When VOUT is shorted to GND or VCC, the clamps saturate predictably - enabling host controllers to detect open-load, short-to-rail, or connector disconnection without adding external circuitry, a critical safety feature in the A1308LLHLX-5-T.
