Product details
Overview
A1321EUA-T from Allegro MicroSystems is a ratiometric linear Hall-effect sensor IC in a 3-pin SIP package, delivering 5.000 mV/G sensitivity, 50% VCC quiescent output voltage, and rail-to-rail analog output across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient. It integrates dynamic offset cancellation, BiCMOS signal conditioning, and robust EMC protection for automotive throttle position and industrial rotary encoder feedback.
For engineers reviewing the A1321EUA-T datasheet, A1321EUA-T pinout, A1321EUA-T application, or A1321EUA-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating guidance, true pin mapping, and two validated alternative parts for legacy design continuity and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The A1321EUA-T employs a proprietary high-frequency (150 kHz) dynamic offset cancellation technique that eliminates residual voltage drift from mechanical stress and temperature cycling, enabling ±10 G equivalent accuracy over temperature. Its monolithic BiCMOS architecture integrates Hall element, gain/offset trim circuitry, and rail-to-rail output stage on a single die.
This device operates ratiometrically: both quiescent output voltage and sensitivity scale linearly with supply voltage (4.5–5.5 V), ensuring stable performance under varying power conditions. Output bandwidth is 30 kHz, supporting fast-response position sensing in motor control and brake pedal applications.

FAQ
Is the A1321EUA-T still in production?
No, the A1321EUA-T is discontinued and not recommended for new designs. Allegro declared it NOT FOR NEW DESIGN effective January 31, 2011, with no samples available. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for existing customer continuity, subject to availability and last-time-buy terms.
What is the exact pinout of the A1321EUA-T?
The A1321EUA-T uses a 3-pin SIP package with Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = GND, and Pin 3 = VOUT. This matches the UA package drawing in the A1321-DS Rev. 23 datasheet and is electrically identical to A1324LUA-T for drop-in replacement where temperature range permits.
Can the A1321EUA-T operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the A1321EUA-T requires 4.5–5.5 V supply per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 4.5 V risks undefined output behavior, reduced sensitivity, and failure to meet specified quiescent voltage or linearity.
What does "ratiometric" mean for the A1321EUA-T?
For the A1321EUA-T, ratiometric means both its quiescent output voltage (2.5 V nominal) and sensitivity (5.000 mV/G) scale linearly with supply voltage - e.g., at 4.5 V supply, VOUT(q) ≈ 2.25 V and sensitivity ≈ 4.5 mV/G - eliminating need for independent voltage references in host systems.
How does the A1321EUA-T handle temperature-induced drift?
The A1321EUA-T uses on-chip temperature-compensating circuitry and dynamic offset cancellation to limit quiescent voltage drift to ±10 G equivalent and sensitivity drift to ±1.5% over supply voltage and ±7.5% over temperature, ensuring stable analog output without external calibration across its –40 °C to +85 °C range.
