The ATS642LSH is an optimized Hall effect sensing integrated
circuit and magnet combination that provides a user-friendly
solution for true zero-speed digital gear-tooth sensing in twowire applications. The sensor consists of a single-shot molded
plastic package that includes a samarium cobalt magnet, a
pole piece, and a Hall effect IC that has been optimized to the
magnetic circuit. This small package, with optimized two-wire
leadframe, can be easily assembled and used in conjunction
with a wide variety of gear shapes and sizes.
Package: 4-pin Module (suffix SH)
The integrated circuit incorporates a dual element Hall effect
sensor and signal processing that switches in response to
differential magnetic signals created by ferrous gear teeth.
The circuitry contains a sophisticated digital circuit to reduce
magnet and system offsets, to calibrate the gain for air gap
independent switchpoints, and to achieve true zero-speed
operation. Signal optimization occurs at power-up through
the combination of offset and gain adjust and is maintained
throughout the operating time with the use of a running mode
calibration. The running mode calibration allows immunity to
environmental effects such as microoscillations of the target
or sudden air gap changes.
The regulated current output is configured for two wire
applications and the sensor is ideally suited for obtainContinued on the next page…

ATS642LSH
Two-Wire True Zero Speed Miniature Differential
Peak-Detecting Gear Tooth Sensor with Continuous Calibration
Functional Description
Sensing Technology
Output Polarity
The gear tooth sensor subassembly contains a single-chip differential Hall effect sensor IC, an optimized samarium cobalt
magnet, and a flat ferrous pole piece. The Hall IC possesses two
Hall elements, which sense the magnetic profile of the ferrous
target simultaneously, but at different points (spaced at a 1.5 mm
pitch), generating a differential internal analog voltage (VPROC)
that is processed for precise switching of the digital output
signal.
Figure 3 shows the output polarity for the orientation of target
and sensor shown in figure 2. The target direction of rotation shown 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
sensor output switching from high, ICC(High), to low ICC(Low), as
the leading edge of a tooth (a rising mechanical edge, as detected
by the sensor) passes the sensor face. In this configuration, the
device output current switches to its low polarity when a tooth is
the target feature nearest to the sensor. If the direction of rotation is reversed, then the output polarity inverts.
The Hall IC is self-calibrating and also possesses a temperature
compensated amplifier and offset compensation 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
compensation circuitry. The Hall transducers and signal processing electronics are integrated on the same silicon substrate, using
a proprietary BiCMOS process.
Target Profiling
An operating device is capable of providing digital information
that is representative of the mechanical features on a rotating
target. The waveform diagram shown 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
sensor.
Note that output voltage polarity is dependent on the position of
the sense resistor, RSENSE (see figure 4).

ATS642LSH
Two-Wire True Zero Speed Miniature Differential
Peak-Detecting Gear Tooth Sensor with Continuous Calibration
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). During calibration, the device determines the peak-topeak amplitude of the signal generated by the target. The gain of
the sensor is then automatically adjusted. Figure 5 illustrates the
effect of this feature.
Automatic Offset Adjust (AOA)
The AOA is patented circuitry that automatically compensates
for the effects of chip, magnet, and installation offsets. (For
capability, see Dynamic Offset Cancellation, in the Operating Characteristics table.) This circuitry is continuously active,
including both during calibration mode and running mode, compensating for any offset drift. Continuous operation also allows it
to compensate for offsets induced by temperature variations over
time.
Digital Peak Detection
A digital DAC tracks the internal analog voltage signal VPROC,
and is used for holding the peak value of the internal analog
signal. In the example shown in figure 6, the DAC would first
track up with the signal and hold the upper peak’s value. When
VPROC drops below this peak value by BOP, the device hysteresis, the output would switch and the DAC would begin tracking
the signal downward toward the negative VPROC peak. Once the
DAC acquires the negative peak, the output will again switch
states when VPROC is greater than the peak by the value BRP. At
this point, the DAC tracks up again and the cycle repeats. The
digital tracking of the differential analog signal allows the sensor
to achieve true zero-speed operation.

Power Supply Protection
Assembly Description
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 Microsystems for
information on the circuitry needed for compliance with various
EMC specifications. Refer to figure 7 for an example of a basic
This sensor is integrally molded into a plastic body that has been
optimized for size, ease of assembly, and manufacturability.
High operating temperature materials are used in all aspects of
construction.
application circuit.
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).
Diagnostics
The regulated current output is configured for two-wire applications, requiring one less wire for operation than do switches
with the more 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 8 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.

Two-Wire True Zero Speed Miniature Differential
Peak-Detecting Gear Tooth Sensor with Continuous Calibration
ATS642LSH
AGC is active, and selects the optimal signal gain based on the
amplitude of the VPROC signal. Following each adjustment to
the AGC DAC, the Offset DAC is also adjusted to ensure the
internal analog signal is properly centered.
Sensor Operation
Each operating mode is described in detail below.
Power-On
When power (VCC > VCCMIN) is applied to the device, a short
period of time is required to power the various portions of the
IC. During this period, the ATS642 will power-on in the high
current state, ICC(High). After power on, there are conditions that
could induce a change in the output state. Such an event could be
caused by thermal transients, but would require a static applied
magnetic field, proper signal polarity, and particular direction
and magnitude of internal signal drift.
During this mode, the tracking DAC is active and output switching occurs, but the duty cycle is not guaranteed to be within
specification.
Running Mode
After the Initial Calibration period, CI, establishes a signal gain,
the device moves to Running mode. During Running mode, the
sensor tracks the input signal and gives an output edge for every
peak of the signal. AOA remains active to compensate for any
offset drift over time.
Initial Offset Adjust
The sensor intially cancels the effects of chip, magnet, and
installation offsets. Once offsets have been cancelled, the digital
tracking DAC is ready to track the signal and provide output
switching. The period of time required for both Power-On and
Initial Offset Adjust is defined as the Power-On Time.
The ATS642 incorporates a novel algorithm for adjusting the
signal gain during Running mode. This algorithm is designed
to optimize the VPROC signal amplitude in instances where the
magnetic signal “seen” during the calibration period is not representative of the amplitude of the magnetic signal for the installed
sensor air gap (see figure 9).
Calibration Mode
The calibration mode allows the sensor to automatically select
the proper signal gain and continue to adjust for offsets. The

Figure 9: Operation of Running Mode Gain Adjust.
Position 1. The device is initially powered-on. Self-calibration occurs.
Position 2. Small amplitude oscillation of the target sends an erroneously small differential signal to the sensor. The amplitude of VPROC is greater than the switching hysteresis (BOP and BRP), and the device output switches.
Position 3. The calibration period completes on the third rising output edge, and the device enters Running mode.
Position 4. True target rotation occurs and the correct magnetic signal is generated for the installation air gap. The established signal gain is too large for the target’s rotational magnetic signal at the given air gap.
Position 5. Running Mode Calibration corrects the signal gain to an optimal level for the installation air gap.

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, 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, Rθ JC, 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 × Rθ JA
(2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
(3)
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package SH
(I1 trim), using minimum-K PCB
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
Rθ JA = 126°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 = 15°C ÷ 126 °C/W = 119 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 119 mW ÷ 16 mA = 7 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
Rθ JA. 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 = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140 °C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C
TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max),
at a selected Rθ JA and TA.
