• First-tooth detection
• Immunity to air gap variation and system offsets
• Eliminates effects of signature tooth offsets
• Integrated capacitor provides analog peak and valley
information
• Extremely low timing-accuracy drift with temperature
changes
• Large air gap capability
• Small, integrated package
• Optimized magnetic circuit
• Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
• Wide operating voltage range
The ATS616 gear-tooth sensor IC is a peak-detecting device
that uses automatic gain control and an integrated capacitor
to provide extremely accurate gear edge detection down to
low operating speeds. Each package consists of a high-temperature plastic shell that holds together a samarium-cobalt
pellet, a pole piece, and a differential open-collector Hall IC
that has been optimized to the magnetic circuit. This small
package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction
with a wide variety of gear shapes and sizes.
The technology used for this circuit is Hall-effect based.
The chip incorporates a dual-element Hall IC that switches
in response to differential magnetic signals created by ferromagnetic targets. The sophisticated processing circuitry
contains an A-to-D converter that self-calibrates (normalizes) the internal gain of the device to minimize the effect of
air-gap variations. The patented peak-detecting filter circuit
eliminates magnet and system offsets and has the ability to
discriminate relatively fast changes such as those caused by
tilt, gear wobble, and eccentricities. This easy-to-integrate
solution provides first-tooth detection and stable operation
to extremely low rpm. The ATS616 can be used as a replacement for the ATS612LSB, eliminating the external peakholding capacitor needed by the ATS612LSB.

Figure 1. Configuration with Radial-Tooth Reference Target
For the generation of adequate magnetic field levels, the following recommendations should be followed in the design and
specification of targets:
• 2 mm < tooth width, t < 4 mm
• Valley width, tv > 2 mm
• Valley depth, ht > 2 mm
• Tooth thickness, F ≥ 3 mm
• Target material must be low carbon steel
Although these parameters apply to targets of traditional
geometry (radially oriented teeth with radial sensing, shown in
figure 1), they also can be applied in applications using stamped
targets (an aperture or rim gap punched out of the target material) and axial sensing. For stamped geometries with axial sensing, the valley depth, ht, is intrinsically infinite, so the criteria for
tooth width, t, valley width, tv, tooth material thickness, F, and
material specification need only be considered for reference. For
example, F can now be < 3 mm.

ATS616LSG
Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential
Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor IC
Functional Description
Assembly Description. The ATS616 is a Hall IC/rare earth
pellet configuration that is fully optimized to provide digital response to gear tooth edges. This device is packaged in a
molded miniature plastic body that has been optimized for size,
ease of assembly, and manufacturability. High operating temperature materials are used in all aspects of construction.
After proper power is applied to the component, the IC is
capable of instantly providing digital information that is representative of the profile of a rotating gear. No additional optimization or processing circuitry is required. This ease of use should
reduce design time and incremental assembly costs for most
applications.
Hall Technology. The package contains a single-chip differential
Hall effect sensor IC, a samarium cobalt pellet, and a flat ferrous
pole piece (figure 2). The Hall IC consists of 2 Hall elements
(spaced 2.2 mm apart) located so as to measure the magnetic
gradient created by the passing of a ferromagnetic object. The
two elements measure the magnetic gradient and convert it to an
analog voltage that is then processed in order to provide a digital
output signal.
The Hall IC is self-calibrating and also possesses a temperature compensated 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.
Internal Electronics. The processing circuit uses a patented
peak detection scheme to eliminate magnet and system offsets.
This technique allows dynamic coupling and filtering of offsets
without the power-up and settling time disadvantages of classical
high-pass filtering schemes. The peak signal of every tooth and
valley is detected by the filter and is used to provide an instant
reference for the operate and release point comparator. In this
manner, the thresholds are adapted and referenced to individual
signal peaks and valleys, providing immunity to zero line variation from installation inaccuracies (tilt, rotation, and off-center
placement), as well as for variations caused by target and shaft
eccentricities. The peak detection concept also allows extremely
low speed operation for small value filter capacitors.
The ATS616 also includes self-calibration circuitry that is
engaged at power on. The signal amplitude is measured, and
then the device gain is normalized. In this manner switchpoint
drift versus air gap is minimized, and excellent timing accuracy
can be achieved.
The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuitry, in conjunction
with a unique hysteresis circuit, also eliminates the effect of
gear edge overshoot as well as increases the immunity to false
switching caused by gear tooth anomalies at close air gaps. The

Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor IC
AGC circuit sets the gain of the device after power-on. Up to a
0.25 mm air gap change can occur after calibration is complete
without significant performance impact.
Superior Performance. The ATS616 has several advantages
over conventional Hall-effect devices. The signal-processing
techniques used in the ATS616 solve the catastrophic issues that
affect the functionality of conventional digital gear-tooth sensors, such as the following:
• Temperature drift. Changes in temperature do not greatly
affect this device due to the stable amplifier design and the
offset rejection circuitry.
monly used (Hall-effect element mounted on the face of a simple
permanent magnet) requires the detection of a small signal (often
<100 G) that is superimposed on a large back-biased field, often
1500 G to 3500 G. For most gear/target configurations, the backbiased field values change due to concentration effects, resulting
in a varying baseline with air gap, valley widths, eccentricities,
and vibration (figure 4). The differential configuration (figure 5)
cancels the effects of the back-biased field and avoids many of
the issues presented by the single Hall element design.
Peak Detecting vs. AC-Coupled Filters. High-pass filtering
• Timing accuracy variation due to air gap. The accuracy variation caused by air gap changes is minimized by the self-calibration circuitry. A 2×-to-3× improvement can be seen.
• Dual edge detection. Because this device switches based on
the positive and negative peaks of the signal, dual edge detection is guaranteed.
• Tilted or off-center installation. Traditional differential sensor
ICs can switch incorrectly due to baseline changes versus air
gap caused by tilted or off-center installation. The peak detector circuitry references the switchpoint from the peak and is
immune to this failure mode. There may be a timing accuracy
shift caused by this condition.
• Large operating air gaps. Large operating air gaps are achievable with this device due to the sensitive switchpoints after
power-on (dependent on target dimensions, material, and
speed).
Figure 4. Affect of varying valley widths on single-element circuits.
• Immunity to magnetic overshoot. The patented adjustable
hysteresis circuit makes the ATS616 immune to switching on
magnetic overshoot within the specified air gap range.
• Response to surface defects in the target. The gain-adjust
circuitry reduces the effect of minor gear anomalies that would
normally cause false switching.
• Immunity to vibration and backlash. The gain-adjust circuitry
keeps the hysteresis of the device roughly proportional to the
peak-to-peak signal. This allows the device to have good immunity to vibration even when operating at close air gaps.
• Immunity to gear run out. The differential chip configuration
eliminates the baseline variations caused by gear run out.
Differential vs. Single-Element Design. The differential chip
configuration is superior in most applications to the classical
single-element design. The single-element configuration com-

Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential
Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor IC
ATS616LSG
(normal AC coupling) is a commonly used technique for eliminating circuit offsets. However, AC coupling has errors at poweron because the filter circuit needs to hold the circuit zero value
even though the circuit may power-on over a large signal. Such
filtering techniques can only perform properly after the filter
has been allowed to settle, which typically takes longer than 1s.
Also, high-pass filter solutions cannot easily track rapidly changing baselines, such as those caused by eccentricities. (The term
baseline refers to a 0 G differential field, where each Hall-effect
element is subject to the same magnetic field strength; see figure
3.) In contrast, peak detecting designs switch at the change in
slope of the differential signal, and so are baseline-independent
both at power-on and while running.
Peak Detecting vs. Zero-Crossing Reference. The usual dif-
ferential zero-crossing sensor ICs are susceptible to false switching due to off-center and tilted installations that result in a shift
of the baseline that changes with air gap. The track-and-hold
peak detection technique ignores baseline shifts versus air gaps
and provides increased immunity to false switching. In addition,
using track-and-hold peak detection techniques, increased air
gap capabilities can be expected because peak detection utilizes
the entire peak-to-peak signal range, as compared to zero-crossing detectors, which switch at half the peak-to-peak signal.
This prevents false signals, which may be caused by undervoltage conditions (especially during power-up), from appearing at
the output.
Output. The device output is an open-collector stage capable of
sinking up to 20 mA. An external pull-up (resistor) must be supplied to a supply voltage of not more than 24 V.
Output Polarity. The output of the unit will switch from low to
high as the leading edge of a tooth passes the branded face of the
package in the direction indicated in figure 6. This means that in
such a configuration, the output voltage will be high when the
package is facing a tooth. If the target rotation is in the opposite direction relative to the package, the output polarity will be
opposite as well, with the unit switching from low to high as the
leading edge passes the unit.

Power-On Operation. The device powers-on in the Off state
(output voltage high), irrespective of the magnetic field condition. The power-up time of the circuit is no greater than 500 μs.
The circuit is then ready to accurately detect the first target edge
that results in a high-to-low transition of the device output.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO). When the supply voltage, VCC ,
is below the minimum operating voltage, VCC(UV) , the device is
off and stays off, irrespective of the state of the magnetic field.

Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential
Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor IC
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 MicroSystems Web site.)
The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, 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, RJC, is
relatively small component of RJA. 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
(1)

T = PD × RJA
(2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RJA = 140°C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW

T = PD × RJA = 48 mW × 140°C/W = 7°C
able power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max),
at a selected RJA and TA.
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package SG, using
minimum-K PCB.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RJA = 126°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:
Tmax = 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) = Tmax ÷ RJA = 15°C ÷ 126°C/W = 119 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 119 mW ÷ 12 mA = 9.92 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
RJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between VCC(est) and
VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions.
This value applies only to the voltage drop across the ATS616
chip. If a protective series diode or resistor is used, the effective maximum supply voltage is increased. For example, when a
standard diode with a 0.7 V drop is used:
VCC(max) = 9.9 V + 0.7 V = 10.6 V
TJ = TA + T = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allow-
