The A1667 is a true zero-speed ring magnet sensor integrated
circuit (IC) consisting of an optimized Hall IC available in
two package options that provides a user-friendly solution for
digital ring magnet sensing applications.
The sensor incorporates a dual element Hall IC that switches
in response to differential magnetic signals created by a
ring magnet. The IC contains a sophisticated compensating
circuit designed to eliminate the detrimental effects of magnet
and system offsets. Digital processing of the analog signal
provides zero-speed performance independent of air gap and
also dynamic adaptation of device performance to the typical
operating conditions found in automotive applications (reduced
vibration sensitivity). High-resolution peak detecting DACs
are used to set the adaptive switching thresholds of the device.
Hysteresis in the thresholds reduces the negative effects of any
anomalies in the magnetic signal associated with the targets
used in many automotive applications.

A1667
True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy, Ring Magnet Sensor IC
Functional Description
HALL TECHNOLOGY
The single-chip differential Hall-effect sensor IC contains two
Hall elements as shown in figure 1, which simultaneously sense
the magnetic profile of the ring magnet. The magnetic fields are
sensed at different points (spaced at a 2.2 mm pitch), generating
a differential internal analog voltage, VPROC, that is processed for
precise switching of the digital output signal.
The Hall IC is self-calibrating and also possesses a temperaturecompensated amplifier and offset cancellation circuitry. Its
voltage regulator provides supply noise rejection throughout the
operating voltage range. Changes in temperature do not greatly
affect this device due to the stable amplifier design and the offset
rejection circuitry. The Hall transducers and signal processing
electronics are integrated on the same silicon substrate, using a
proprietary BiCMOS process.
TARGET PROFILING DURING OPERATION
An operating device is capable of providing digital information
that is representative of the mechanical features of a rotating gear.
The waveform diagram in figure 3 presents the automatic translation of the mechanical profile, through the magnetic profile that
it induces, to the digital output signal of the A1667. No additional optimization is needed and minimal processing circuitry is
required. This ease of use reduces design time and incremental
assembly costs for most applications.

DETERMINING OUTPUT SIGNAL POLARITY
In figure 3, the top panel, labeled Mechanical Position, represents
the mechanical features of the target ring magnet and orientation to the device. The bottom panel, labeled Device Output
Signal, displays the square waveform corresponding to the digital
output signal that results from a rotating ring magnet configured
as shown in figure 2. That direction of rotation (of the target
side adjacent to the package face) is: perpendicular to the leads,
across the face of the device, from the pin 1 side to the pin 4
side. This results in the device output switching from low to high
output state as the leading edge of a north magnetic pole passes
the device face. In this configuration, the device output voltage
switches to its high polarity when a north pole is the target feature
nearest to the device. If the direction of rotation is reversed, then
the output polarity inverts.

Figure 2. This left-to-right (pin 1 to pin 4) direction of target rotation results
in a high output state when a north magnetic pole of the target is nearest
the face of the device (see figure 3). A right-to-left (pin 4 to pin 1) rotation
inverts the output signal polarity.
Figure 3. The magnetic profile reflects the geometry of the target, allowing
the A1667 to present an accurate digital output response.

A1667
True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy, Ring Magnet Sensor IC
CONTINUOUS UPDATE OF SWITCHPOINTS
Switchpoints are the threshold levels of the differential internal
analog signal, VPROC , at which the device changes output signal
state. The value of VPROC is directly proportional to the magnetic flux
density, B, induced by the target and sensed by the Hall elements. As VPROC rises through a certain limit, referred to as the operate
point, BOP , the output state changes from high to low. As VPROC
falls below BOP to a certain limit, the release point, BRP , the output
(A) TEAG varying; cases such as
eccentric mount, out-of-round region,
normal operation position shift
state changes from low to high.
As shown in figure 5, threshold levels for the A1667 switchpoints
are established as a function of the peak input signal levels. The
A1667 incorporates an algorithm that continuously monitors the
input signal and updates the switching thresholds accordingly with
limited inward movement of VPROC. The switchpoint for each edge
is determined by the detection of the previous two signal edges. In
this manner, variations are tracked in real time.

Figure 4. The Continuous Update algorithm allows the Allegro IC to interpret and adapt to variances in the magnetic field generated by the target
as a result of eccentric mounting of the target, out-of-round target shape, and similar dynamic application problems that affect the TEAG (Total
Effective Air Gap). As shown in panel A, the variance in the target position results in a change in the TEAG. This affects the IC as a varying
magnetic field, which results in proportional changes in the internal analog signal, VPROC, shown in panel B. The Continuous Update algorithm is
used to establish switchpoints based on the fluctuation of VPROC, as shown in panel C.

True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy, Ring Magnet Sensor IC
START MODE HYSTERESIS
This feature helps to ensure optimal self-calibration by rejecting
electrical noise and low-amplitude target vibration during
initialization. This prevents AGC from calibrating the IC on such
spurious signals. Calibration can be performed using the actual
target features.
Target, Ring Magnet
A typical scenario is shown in figure 6. The Start Mode Hysteresis,
POHYS , is a minimum level of the peak-to-peak amplitude of the
internal analog electrical signal, VPROC, that must be exceeded
before the A1667 starts to compute switchpoints.

Figure 6. Operation of Start Mode Hysteresis
• At power-on (position 1), the A1667 begins sampling VPROC.
• At the point where the Start Mode Hysteresis, POHYS , is exceeded, the device establishes an initial switching threshold, by using the Continuous
Update algorithm. If VPROC is falling through the limit on the low side (position 2), the switchpoint is BRP , and if VPROC is rising through the limit on the
high side (position 4), it is BOP . After this point, Start Mode Hysteresis is no longer a consideration. Note that a valid VPROC value exceeding the Start
Mode Hysteresis can be generated either by a legitimate target feature or by excessive vibration.
• In either case, because the switchpoint is immediately passed as soon as it is established, the A1667 enables switching:
--If on the low side, at BRP (position 2) the output would switch from low to high. However, because output is already high, no output switching occurs.
At the next switchpoint, where BOP is passed (position 3), the output switches from high to low.
--If on the high side, at BOP (position 4) the output switches from high to low.
As this example demonstrates, initial output switching occurs with the same polarity, regardless of whether the Start Mode Hysteresis is exceeded on the
high side or on the low side.

A1667
True Zero-Speed, High Accuracy, Ring Magnet Sensor IC
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
When the supply voltage falls below the undervoltage lockout
voltage, VCC(UV) , the device enters Reset, where the output
state returns to the Power-On State (POS) until sufficient VCC
is supplied. ICC levels may not meet datasheet limits when VCC
< VCC(min). This lockout feature prevents false signals, caused
by undervoltage conditions, from propagating to the output of the
IC.
POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION
The device contains an on-chip regulator and can operate over a
wide VCC range. For devices that must operate from an unregulated power supply, transient protection must be added externally.
For applications using a regulated line, EMI/RFI protection may
still be required. Contact Allegro for information on the circuitry
needed for compliance with various EMC specifications. Refer
to figure 7 for an example of a basic application circuit.
AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)
This feature allows the device to operate with an optimal internal
electrical signal, regardless of the air gap (within the AG specification). At power-on, the device determines the peak-to-peak
amplitude of the signal generated by the target. The gain of the IC
is then automatically adjusted. Figure 8 illustrates the effect of
this feature.
AUTOMATIC OFFSET ADJUST (AOA)
The AOA circuitry automatically compensates for the effects of
chip, magnet, and installation offsets. This circuitry is continuously active, including during both power-on mode and running
mode, compensating for any offset drift (within the Allowable
User Induced Differential Offset). Continuous operation also
allows it to compensate for offsets induced by temperature variations over time.
RUNNING MODE LOCKOUT
The A1667 has a running mode lockout feature to prevent switching in response to small signals that are characteristic of vibration signals. The internal logic of the chip considers small signal
amplitudes below a certain level to be vibration. The output is
held to the state prior to lockout until the amplitude of the signal
returns to normal operational levels.

variances in the air gap. Differences in the air gap cause differences in
the magnetic field at the device, but AGC prevents that from affecting
device performance, as shown in the lowest panel.

Power Derating
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature of the device, TJ(max). Under certain combinations of
peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied
power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the application. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors
affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on the
Allegro website.)
The Package Thermal Resistance, RθJA, is a figure of merit summarizing the ability of the application and the device to dissipate
heat from the junction (die), through all paths to the ambient air.
Its primary component is the Effective Thermal Conductivity, K,
of the printed circuit board, including adjacent devices and traces.
Radiation from the die through the device case, RθJC, is relatively
small component of RθJA. Ambient air temperature, TA, and air
motion are significant external factors, damped by overmolding.
The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, PD), can
be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental
relationships used to estimate TJ, at PD. PD = VIN × IIN ΔT = PD × RθJA TJ = TA + ΔT

Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package K, using a
single-layer PCB.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RθJA = 177 °C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and
ICC(max) = 12 mA.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First,
invert equation 3:
ΔTmax = TJ(max) – TA = 165 °C – 150 °C = 15 °C
This provides the allowable increase to TJ resulting from internal
power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2:
PD(max) = ΔTmax ÷ RθJA = 15°C ÷ 177 °C/W = 84.7 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 119 mW ÷ 12 mA = 7.1 V
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤ VCC(est).
Compare VCC(est) to VCC(max). If VCC(est) ≤ VCC(max), then
reliable operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires
enhanced RθJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between
VCC(est) and VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions.
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 7.5 mA, and RθJA = 177 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 7.5 mA = 90 mW
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 90 mW × 177 °C/W = 11.3°C
TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 11.3°C = 36.3°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding
TJ(max), at a selected RθJA and TA.
