The Hall Effect sensor IC TLE4941 is designed to provide information about
rotational speed to modern vehicle dynamics control systems and ABS. The output
has been designed as a two wire current interface. The sensor operates without
external components and combines a fast power-up time with a low cut-off
frequency. Excellent accuracy and sensitivity is specified for harsh automotive
requirements as a wide temperature range, high ESD and EMC robustness. State-ofthe art BiCMOS technology is used for monolithic integration of the active sensor
areas and the signal conditioning circuitry.
Finally, the optimised piezo compensation and the integrated dynamic offset
compensation enable easy manufacturing and elimination of magnet offsets.
The TLE4941C is additionally provided with an overmolded 1.8nF capacitor for
improved EMI performance.

Functional Description
The differential hall sensor IC detects the motion of ferromagnetic and permanent
magnet structures by measuring the differential flux density of the magnetic field. To
detect the motion of ferromagnetic objects the magnetic field must be provided by a
back biasing permanent magnet. Either south or north pole of the magnet can be
attached to the rear unmarked side of the IC package.
Magnetic offsets of up to +/- 20mT and device offsets are cancelled by a selfcalibration algorithm. Only a few transitions are necessary for self-calibration. After
the initial calibration sequence switching occurs when the input signal is crossing the
arithmetic mean of its max and min value. (E.g. zero-crossing for sinusoidal signals)
The ON and OFF state of the IC are indicated by High and Low current
consumption.
Circuit Description
The circuit is supplied internally by a 3V voltage regulator. An on-chip oscillator
serves as clock generator for the digital part of the circuit.
TLE4941 signal path is comprised of a pair of hall probes, spaced at 2.5mm, a
differential amplifier including a noise-limiting low-pass filter and a comparator
feeding a switched current output stage. In addition an offset cancellation feedback
loop is provided by a signal-tracking A/D converter, a digital signal processor (DSP)
and an offset cancellation D/A converter.
During the startup phase (un-calibrated mode) the output is disabled (I=ILow).
The differential input signal is digitized in the speed A/D converter and fed into the
DSP. The minimum and maximum values of the input signal are extracted and their
corresponding arithmetic mean value is calculated. The offset of this mean value is
determined and fed into the offset cancellation DAC.
After successful correction of the offset, the output switching is enabled.
In running mode (calibrated mode) the offset correction algorithm of the DSP is
switched into a low-jitter mode, avoiding oscillation of the offset DAC LSB. Switching
occurs at zero-crossing. It is only affected by the (small) remaining offset of the
comparator and by the remaining propagation delay time of the signal path, mainly
determined by the noise-limiting filter. Signals below a defined threshold ∆BLimit are
not detected to avoid unwanted parasitic switching.

1)
The sensor requires up to nstart magnetic switching edges for valid speed information after
power-up or after a stand still condition. During that phase the output is disabled.
2)
During fast offset alterations, due to the calibration algorithm, exceeding the specified duty
cycle is permitted for short time periods.

Output Description
Under ideal conditions, the output shows a duty cycle of 50 %. Under real conditions,
the duty cycle is determined by the mechanical dimensions of the target wheel and
its tolerances. (40% to 60% might be exceeded for pitch >> 5mm due to the zerocrossing principle.)
