Product details
Overview
ALS31300EEJALU-JOY from Allegro MicroSystems is a 3D linear Hall-effect position sensor IC delivering 12-bit I²C digital outputs for X, Y, and Z magnetic field axes. It is factory-configured for joystick mode with reduced Z-axis sensitivity (0.25 LSB/G) to support back-bias magnet return-to-zero functionality in mechanical input systems. Key confirmed specs: ±2000 G full-scale on X/Y, ±8000 G on Z, 14 nA typical sleep current, 2.65–3.5 V supply, and 10-contact 3 mm × 3 mm DFN (EJ) package.
For engineers reviewing the ALS31300EEJALU-JOY datasheet, ALS31300EEJALU-JOY pinout, ALS31300EEJALU-JOY application, or ALS31300EEJALU-JOY equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context for joystick position sensing, low-power portable HMI design, I²C bus integration with multi-device addressing, and magnetic sensing system calibration using on-chip EEPROM and temperature compensation.
Technical Context
The ALS31300EEJALU-JOY implements three independent Hall plates with configurable gain per axis-X/Y at 1 LSB/G and Z at 0.25 LSB/G-enabling asymmetric field response optimized for push-and-rotate joystick motion. Its 12-bit ADC provides 10-bit ENOB and supports bandwidth-selectable filtering (BW Select 0–7) to trade resolution for update rate in LPDCM.
Power management includes three distinct modes: Active (3.4 mA typ), Low-Power Duty Cycle Mode (2 mA to 12 µA avg), and Sleep (14 nA typ). The device integrates a 12-bit temperature sensor updated every 8 ms, and uses an on-chip charge pump for EEPROM programming without external high-voltage sources.

Pinout & Package
ALS31300EEJALU-JOY is housed in a lead-free 10-contact DFN package (3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm, EJ variant) with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating and exposed thermal pad (not internally connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Must be bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor to GND; powers all internal circuits including Hall plates, ADC, and I²C interface. |
| ADR0 | I²C address select 0 | Part of resistor-divider network setting one of 16 hardware addresses; voltage thresholds define logic level (0–0.1×VCC = 0, 0.23–0.43×VCC = 1, etc.). |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital sections; connects to PCB ground plane under exposed pad for thermal stability. |
| INT | Interrupt output | Open-drain signal asserting when X/Y/Z field crosses programmable threshold; latching optional via EEPROM control bit. |
| NC (Pins 5,9,10) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must be tied to GND per layout guidelines to minimize noise coupling and ensure mechanical stability. |
| ADR1 | I²C address select 1 | Second address pin enabling full 2-bit hardware addressing; identical voltage threshold behavior as ADR0. |
| SDA | I²C serial data | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up (2.4–10 kΩ); supports Fast Mode+ up to 1 MHz at 1.8–3.3 V. |
| SCL | I²C serial clock | Input-only clock line; timing compliant with I²C spec including tLOW ≥1.3 µs and tHIGH ≥0.6 µs at 1 MHz. |
| PAD | Exposed thermal pad | Not electrically connected; soldered to PCB copper pour to reduce θJA (65 °C/W on 2-layer board) and stabilize junction temperature. |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed sensitivity configuration of ALS31300EEJALU-JOY?
The ALS31300EEJALU-JOY is factory-configured in joystick mode with X/Y-axis sensitivity of 1 LSB/G (±2000 G full-scale) and Z-axis sensitivity of 0.25 LSB/G (±8000 G full-scale). This asymmetric gain enables precise linear motion detection on X/Y while supporting strong back-bias magnets for Z-axis return-to-zero functionality without mechanical springs. The configuration is fixed and cannot be reprogrammed in the field.
How does ALS31300EEJALU-JOY achieve 14 nA sleep current, and what functions remain active?
The ALS31300EEJALU-JOY achieves 14 nA typical sleep current by disabling its Hall plates, ADC, temperature sensor, and internal clocks while retaining I²C slave logic. In sleep mode, the device remains responsive to I²C START/STOP conditions and address matching but does not update magnetic or temperature registers. Exit time equals the power-on delay (600 µs typ), after which full functionality resumes.
Can ALS31300EEJALU-JOY operate with a 1.8 V I²C bus, and what configuration is required?
Yes, ALS31300EEJALU-JOY supports 1.8 V I²C bus operation. To enable 1.8 V compatibility, the I2C Threshold bit (EEPROM address 0x02, bit 9) must be set to '1'. This lowers the logic-high input threshold to 1.26 V, ensuring reliable SDA/SCL recognition. The device maintains full 1 MHz Fast Mode+ timing compliance and supports pull-up voltages from 1.8 V to 3.3 V.
What is the purpose and capacity of the 78-bit user EEPROM in ALS31300EEJALU-JOY?
The 78-bit user EEPROM in ALS31300EEJALU-JOY provides non-volatile storage for application-specific calibration data, such as per-unit magnetic offset corrections, custom interrupt thresholds, or system identification codes. It is accessible via I²C after entering customer access mode and supports up to 1000 write cycles. No device functionality depends on this memory-it is purely for end-user configuration retention.
How is the exposed thermal pad (PAD) on ALS31300EEJALU-JOY used in PCB layout?
The exposed thermal pad (PAD) on ALS31300EEJALU-JOY is not electrically connected but must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour tied to GND for optimal thermal performance. Per Allegro's thermal characterization, this reduces junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to 65 °C/W on a 2-layer board. Leaving the pad floating or unconnected degrades thermal stability and may cause measurement drift under sustained operation.
