HALL-EFFECT GEAR-TOOTH SENSOR
—AC COUPLED
X
The A3064LKA ac-coupled Hall-effect gear-tooth sensor is a
monolithic integrated circuit that switches in response to changing
differential magnetic fields created by moving ferrous targets. This
device is ideal for use in non-zero-speed, gear-tooth-based speed,
position, and timing applications such as in anti-lock braking systems,
transmissions, and crankshafts.

When coupled with a back-biasing magnet, the sensor can be
configured to turn on or off with the leading or trailing edge of a geartooth or slot. Changes in fields on the magnet face caused by a moving
ferrous mass are sensed by two integrated Hall transducers and are
differentially amplified by on-chip electronics. This differential
sensing design provides immunity to radial vibration within the
device’s operating air gap. Steady-state magnet and system offsets are
eliminated using an on-chip differential band-pass filter. This filter
also provides relative immunity to interference from RF and electromagnetic sources. The on-chip temperature compensation and Schmitt
trigger circuitry minimizes shifts in effective working air gaps and
switch points over temperature, allowing operation to low frequencies
over a wide range of air gaps and temperatures.
Each Hall-effect digital Integrated circuit includes a voltage
regulator, two quadratic Hall-effect sensing elements, temperature
compensating circuitry, a low-level amplifier, band-pass filter, Schmitt
trigger, and an open-collector output driver. The on-board regulator
permits operation with supply voltages of 4.5 to 24 volts. The output
stage can easily switch 20 mA over the full frequency response range
of the sensor and is compatible with bipolar and MOS logic circuits.
The device is packaged in a 5-pin plastic SIP.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The A3064LKA is a versatile high-precision differential
sensing device that can be used in a wide range of applications.
Careful choice of the sensor IC, target material and shape,
magnet material and shape, and assembly techniques enables
large working air gaps and high switch-point accuracy over the
system operating temperature range.

TYPICAL TRANSFER CHARACTERISTIC
+V
The devices can be used without a back-biasing magnet.
For example, the sensor can be used to detect a rotating ring
magnet such as those found in brushless dc motors or in speed
sensing applications.
Sensor Operation. These sensor ICs each contain two
integrated Hall transducers (E1 and E2) that are used to sense a
magnetic field differential across the face of the IC (see Sensor
Location drawing). Referring to the Typical Transfer Characteristic (Figure 1), the trigger switches the output off (output
high) when BE1 - BE2 > BOP and switches the output on (output

Magnet Biasing. To sense moving non-magnetized
ferrous targets, these devices must be back biased by mounting
the unbranded side on a small permanent magnet. Either

BRP is the hysteresis of the device.
LEADING
EDGE
Note that powering up in the absence of a differential
magnetic field (less than the device BOP and higher than the
device BRP) will allow an indeterminate output state. The
correct output state is warranted after the first excursion beyond
BOP or BRP.
Figure 2 relates the output state of a back-biased sensor IC,
with switching characteristics shown in Figure 1, to the target
gear profile and position. Assume a north pole back-bias
configuration (equivalent to a south pole at the face of the
device). The motion of the gear produces a phase-shifted field
at E1 and E2 (Figure 2(a)); internal conditioning circuitry
subtracts the fields at the two elements (Figure 2(b)); this
differential field is band-pass filtered to remove dc offset
components and then fed into a Schmitt trigger; the Schmitt
trigger switches the output transistor at the thresholds BOP and
BRP. As shown (Figure 2(c)), the IC output is low whenever
sensor E2 faces a (ferrous) gear tooth and sensor E1 faces air.
The output is high when sensor E1 faces air and sensor E2 faces
a ferrous target.

AC-Coupled Operation. Steady-state magnet and
system offsets are eliminated using an on-chip differential bandpass filter. The lower frequency cut-off of this patented filter is
set using an external capacitor, the value of which can range
from 0.01 µF to 10 µF. The high-frequency cut-off of this filter
is set at 30 kHz by an internal integrated capacitor.
Low-Frequency Operation. Low-frequency operation
of the sensor is set by the value of an external capacitor.
Ideally, the differential flux density range (determined by the
applied target) vs. air gap assumes a perfect sinusoidal input.
Figure 3 provides the low-frequency cut-off (-3 dB point) of the
filter as a function of capacitance value. This information
should be used with care. In reality, when used with gear teeth,

The differential structure of this filter improves the ability
of the IC to reject single-ended noise on the ground or supply
line and, as a result, makes it more resistant to radio-frequency
and electromagnetic interference typically seen in hostile
remote-sensing environments. This filter configuration also
increases system tolerance to capacitor degradation at high
temperatures, allowing the use of an inexpensive external
ceramic capacitor.

the teeth create transitions in the magnetic field that have a
much higher frequency content than the basic rotational speed
of the target. This allows the device to sense speeds much
lower than those indicated by the graph for a given capacitor
value.

Capacitor Characteristics. The major requirement for
the external capacitor is its ability to operate in a bipolar (nonpolarized) mode. Another important requirement is the low
leakage current of the capacitor (equivalent parallel resistance
should be greater than 500 kΩ). To maintain proper operation
with frequency, capacitor values should be held to within ±30%
over the operating temperature range. The commonly available
Z5U ceramic capacitor temperature code should not be used in
this application.
Magnet Selection. The A3064LKA can be used with a
wide variety of commercially available permanent magnets.
The selection of the magnet depends on the operational and
environmental requirements of the sensing system. For systems
that require high accuracy and large working air gaps or an
extended temperature range, the usual magnet material of
choice is rare-earth samarium cobalt (SmCo). This magnet
material has a high energy product and can operate over an
extended temperature range. For systems that require low-cost
solutions for an extended temperature range, AlNiCo 8 can be
used. Due to its relatively low energy product, smaller operational air gaps can be expected. Neodymium iron boron
(NeFeB) can be used over moderate temperature ranges when
large working air gaps are required. Of these three magnet
materials, AlNiCo 8 is the least expensive by volume and SmCo
is the most expensive.
