DESCRIPTION
The A1684LUB is an optimized Hall-effect sensing integrated
circuit that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed
digital ring magnet and, when magnetically back-biased, geartooth sensing in two-wire applications. The Hall-effect IC has
been optimized for the automotive environment. This small
package can be used in conjunction with a wide variety of
target shapes and sizes.
The single integrated circuit incorporates a dual element Hall
effect sensor IC and signal processing circuitry that switches
in response to differential magnetic signals created by a ring
magnet, or by a rotating ferromagnetic target when used in
combination with a back-biasing magnet. The device contains
a sophisticated compensating circuit to eliminate magnetic and
system offsets. Digital tracking of the analog signal is used
to achieve true zero-speed operation. Advanced calibration
algorithms are used to adjust the device gain and offset at
power-up, resulting in air gap independent switchpoints, which
greatly improves output accuracy. In addition, advanced running
mode calibration circuits mitigate the effect of system anomalies
such as target vibration and sudden changes in air gap.
The regulated current output is configured for two-wire
operation. When configured with a back-biasing magnet, this
sensor IC is ideal for obtaining edge and duty cycle information
in gear-tooth–based applications such as transmission speed.
The A1684 is provided in a 2-pin miniature SIP package (suffix
UB) that is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Differential Sensor IC
A1684LUB
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Sensing Technology
The A1684 sensor IC contains a single-chip differential Halleffect circuit. As shown in Figure 1, the circuit supports two Hall
elements (spaced at a 2.2 mm pitch), which simultaneously sense
the magnetic profile of a ring magnet, or when coupled with a
back-biasing magnet, the magnetic profile of a ferromagnetic
gear target. The sensed magnetic fields at the two Hall elements
are subtracted one from the other, to generate 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 integrates 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.
Target Profiling During Operation
Under normal operating conditions, the IC is capable of providing digital information that is representative of the mechanical
features of a rotating gear when back biased, or the poles of a
rotating ring magnet. The waveform diagram in Figure 1 presents
the automatic translation of the mechanical profile, through the
magnetic profile that it induces, to the digital output signal of
the A1684. No additional optimization is needed and minimal
processing circuitry is required.

Diagnostics
Determining Output Signal Polarity
The regulated current output is configured for two-wire applications, requiring one less wire for operation than do switches with
the traditional open-collector output. Additionally, the system
designer inherently gains diagnostics because there is always
output current flowing, which should be in either of two narrow ranges, shown in Figure 2 as ICC(HIGH) and ICC(LOW). Any
current level not within these ranges indicates a fault condition.
If ICC > ICC(HIGH)(max), then a short condition exists, and if ICC
< ICC(LOW)(min), then an open condition exists. Any value of ICC
between the allowed ranges for ICC(HIGH) and ICC(LOW) indicates
a general fault condition.
In Figure 1, the top of each panel, labeled Mechanical Position,
represents the mechanical features of the target and orientation to
the device. The bottom panels, labeled IC Output Signal, displays
the square waveform corresponding to the digital output signal
(current amplitude) that results from a target configured as shown
in Figure 3. Referring to the target side nearest the face of the
sensor IC, the direction of rotation is: perpendicular to the leads,
across the face of the device, from the pin 1 side to the pin 2 side.

Continuous Update of Switchpoints
the output state changes from low to high.
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 ,
As shown in Figure 5, threshold levels for the switchpoints are
established as a function of the peak input signal levels. The
device 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 5: Continuous Update Algorithm
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.

Power-On
The A1684 is guaranteed to power-on in the high current state,
ICC(High) . When power (VCC > VCC (min) ) is applied to the
device, a short period of time is required to power the various
portions of the circuit. During this period, the A1684 will poweron in the high current state, ICC(High) .
Initial Edge Detection
The device self-calibrates using the initial teeth sensed, and then
enters running mode. This results in reduced accuracy for a brief
period, CALI . However, this period allows the device to optimize
for running mode operation. As shown in Figure 6 (assuming
the south magnetic pole of a back-biasing magnet is adjacent
to the rear of the A1684 case), the first three high peak signals
corresponding to rising output edges are used to calibrate AGC
(Automatic Gain Control). There is a slight variance in the duration of initialization, depending on what target feature is opposite
the sensor IC when power-on occurs. Also, a high speed of target
rotation at power-on may increase the quantity of output edges
required in the CALI period.

This figure demonstrates four typical power-on scenarios. All of these examples assume a south magnetic pole of a back-biasing magnet
is adjacent to the rear of the A1684 case. The length of time required to overcome Start Mode Hysteresis, as well as the combined effect of
whether it is overcome in a positive or negative direction plus whether the next edge is in that same or opposite polarity, affect the point in
time when AGC calibration begins. Three high peaks are always required for AGC calibration when fOP ≤ 200 Hz, and more may be required at
greater speeds.

Start Mode Hysteresis
A typical scenario is shown in Figure 7 (assuming the south
magnetic pole of a back-biasing magnet is adjacent to the rear
of the A1684 case). The 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 A1684 starts to
compute switchpoints.
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 device on such
spurious signals. Calibration can be performed using the actual
target features.

Figure 7: Operation of Start Mode Hysteresis
(assumes the south magnetic pole of a back-biasing magnet is adjacent to the rear of the A1684 case)
• At power-on (position 1), the A1684 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 rising through the limit on the high side (position 2), the switchpoint is BOP , and if VPROC is falling
through the limit on the low side (position 4), it is BRP . 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 (BOP or BRP), because the switchpoint is immediately passed as soon as it is established, the A1684 enables switching:
▫ If on the high side, at BOP (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 BRP is passed (position 3), the output switches from high to low.
▫ If on the low side, at BRP (position 4) the output switches from high to low.

Undervoltage Lockout
When the supply voltage falls below the minimum operating
voltage, VCC(UV) , ICC goes high and remains high regardless of
the state of the magnetic gradient from the target. This lockout
feature prevents false signals, caused by undervoltage conditions,
from propagating to the output of the device. Because VCC is
below the VCC(min) specification during lockout, the ICC levels
may not be within specification.
Power Supply Protection
The device contains an on-chip regulator and can operate over a
wide VCC range. For devices that need to 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 8 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 is then automatically adjusted. Figure 9 illustrates the effect of this feature.
Running Mode Gain Adjust
The A1684 has a feature during Running mode to compensate
for dynamic air gap variation. If the system increases the mag-
netic input drastically, the device will gradually readjust the gain
downwards, allowing the chip to regain the optimum internal
electrical signal with the new, larger, magnetic signal.
Dynamic Offset Cancellation (DOC)
The offset circuitry when combined with AGC automatically
reduces the effects of chip, magnet, and installation offsets. This
circuitry is continuously active, including both Power-on mode
and Running mode, compensating for any offset drift (within
Allowable User-Induced Differential Offset). Continuous operation also allows it to compensate for offsets induced by temperature variations over time.
Running Mode Lockout
The A1684 has a Running mode lockout feature to prevent
switching on small signals that are characteristic of vibration
signals. The internal logic of the chip evaluates small signal
amplitudes below a certain level to be vibration. In that event, the
output is blanked (locked-out) until the amplitude of the signal
returns to normal operating levels.
Watchdog
The A1684 employs a watchdog circuit to prevent extended loss
of output switching during sudden impulses and vibration in the
system. If the system changes the magnetic input drastically such
that target feature detection is terminated, the device will fully
reset itself, allowing the chip to recalibrate properly on the new
magnetic input signal.

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 MicroSystems 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 (1)
ΔT = PD × RθJA (2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 6 mA, and RθJA = 213 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 6 mA = 72 mW
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 72 mW × 213 °C/W = 15.3°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.
Example: Reliability for UB package VCC at TA = 150°C, using a
minimum-K PCB using a single layer PCB.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RθJA = 213°C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and
ICC(max) = 16 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
PD(max) = 15°C ÷ 213°C/W = 70.5 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 70.5 mW ÷ 16 mA = 4.4 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.
TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 15.3°C = 40.3°C
