The ATS675 is a next generation member of the Allegro® True
Power-On State (TPOS) sensor IC family, offering improved
accuracy compared to prior generations, and performing at
absolutely zero target speed. An output polarity option allows
customization for specific applications.
The device incorporates a single Hall-element IC with an
optimized custom magnetic circuit that switches in response to
magnetic signals. The resulting output of the device is a digital
representation of a ferromagnetic target profile.
The IC contains a sophisticated digital circuit designed to
eliminate the detrimental effects of magnetic and system offsets.
Signal processing is used to provide target state recognition
at zero rotational speed, consistent switchpoints regardless
of air gap, and dynamically adapt device performance to the
typical operating conditions found in automotive environments,
particularly cam sensing applications.
Package: 4-pin SIP (suffix SE)
High-resolution peak-detecting DACs are used to set the
adaptive switching thresholds of the device. The ATS675 also
includes a filter that increases the noise immunity and the
signal-to-noise ratio of the IC.
The device is provided in a 4-pin SIP package (SE) that is lead
(Pb) free with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Self-Calibrating TPOS Speed Sensor IC

ATS675LSE
Functional Description
Output Profile Polarity (LT/HT Option)
Device output, VOUT , is a digital representation of the mechanical profile of the target, as illustrated in figure 6. The customer
can choose the relative polarity of the output waveform. This
assigns the polarity opposite tooth features (the inverse polarity
Target (Gear)
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature ensures that the
ATS675 initial switching thresholds are isolated from the effects
of changes in the effective air gap (the total distance between
the Hall element and the nearest feature of the target). AGC is
implemented by unique patented self-calibrating circuitry, and
normalizes the sensed magnetic gradient so the internal processed
signal falls within the optimum processing range.

Mechanical Profile

Hall Technology
The ATS675 contains a single-chip Hall effect sensor IC, a 4-pin
leadframe, a specially designed rare-earth pellet, and a ferrous
pole piece (a precisely-mounted magnetic field concentrator).
The Hall IC supports a chopper stabilized Hall element that
measures the magnetic gradient created by the passing of a ferromagnetic object. This is illustrated in figure 5. The difference
in the magnetic gradients created by teeth and valleys allows the
devices to generate a digital output signal that is representative of
the target features.
will be output opposite valley features). The LT option sets VOUT
low when a tooth is opposite the device, and the HT option sets
VOUT high when a target tooth is opposite the device. This polarity assignment applies throughout device operation. This ease of
use reduces design time and incremental assembly costs for most
applications.
Valley
Internal Electronics
This device contains a self-calibrating Hall effect IC that includes
a Hall element, a temperature compensated amplifier, and offset
cancellation circuitry. The IC also contains a voltage regulator
that provides supply noise rejection over the operating voltage
range. The Hall transducers and the electronics are integrated
on the same silicon substrate by a proprietary BiCMOS process.
Changes in temperature do not greatly affect this device, due to
the stable amplifier design and the offset rejection circuitry. The
Hall IC supports a chopper stabilized Hall element that measures
the intensity of magnetic gradients and provides an electrical
signal that represents the target features.

Self-Calibrating TPOS Speed Sensor IC
Optimized for Automotive Cam Sensing Applications
ATS675LSE
AGC is activated during the Initial Calibration stage at each
power-on. The device measures the peak-to-peak application
magnetic gradient, and then the gain of the sensor IC is adjusted
to normalize the internal processed signal, VPROC , to accommodate any input signal amplitude within the specified Operating
Magnetic Signal Range, BSIG . AGC is referenced to the internal
magnetic baseline. At the end of the Initial Calibration stage, the
AGC results are latched and they are not readjusted while the
device remains powered-on.
Power Supply Protection
The ATS675 provides features for protecting the device against
power supply aberrations:
Undervoltage Lockout When the supply voltage falls below
the undervoltage lockout level, VCCUV , the device Output State
changes to Off. The device remains in that state until the voltage level is restored to the VCC operating range. Changes in the
target magnetic gradient have no effect until that voltage level
is restored. This prevents false signals caused by undervoltage
conditions from propagating to the output of the sensor IC.
Processed Input Signal, VPROC (%)
EMC Protection The ATS675 contains an on-chip regulator
that operates throughout a wide range of supply voltage levels.
For applications using an unregulated power supply, protection
against transients may be added externally. For applications using
a regulated supply line, EMI and RFI protection may still be
required. Contact Allegro for information on EMC specification
compliance.

Operating Modes
The device provides three operating modes: TPOS, Calibration,
and Running. TPOS and Calibration initialize simultaneously at
power-on. TPOS generates immediate device output, controlling
device switching while the calibration functions are performed.
After calibration is complete, normal operation in Running mode
begins.
TPOS (True Power-On State) Operation
After the power-on time, tPO , the device immediately generates
an output voltage corresponding to the target feature opposite the
device. It does so by comparing the existing level of the application magnetic gradient, BAPP , to the TPOS switching level,
an internal threshold used to distinguish a tooth from a valley
during TPOS operation (from power-on until the end of the Initial
Calibration stage). If BAPP is less than the threshold, that target
feature is evaluated as a valley, and if BAPP is greater , the feature
is evaluated as a tooth.
Calibration Mode Operation
At power-on (simultaneous with TPOS operation) Calibration
mode begins. Calibration mode is performed in two stages: the
Initial Calibration stage, followed immediately by the TPOS to
Running Mode Transition stage (see figure 7). After the second
calibration stage, Running mode begins immediately.
In Calibration mode, the operating range of the application
magnetic gradient, BAPP , is detected and evaluated, and then the
ATS675 electronics are adapted for optimal output switching.
Calibration is performed quickly, without reading the entire target, because the ATS675 applies the internal magnetic baseline.
Initial Calibration Stage During the Initial Calibration stage,
TPOS operation controls device output switching while calibration starts. In this stage, the peak-detecting DACs acquire the
application magnetic signal. Based on those results, the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature calculates the normalized
Running mode switching range. This period is minimized, so
swapping to the Running mode thresholds can occur as quickly as
possible.
TPOS to Running Mode Transition Stage At the beginning
of this stage, TPOS operation terminates, and throughout this
stage the device automatically adjusts the output switching levels
from the original preset switching level to the Running mode
switchpoints. This transition takes place over one tooth, immediately swapping from TPOS to Running mode switchpoints.

Self-Calibrating TPOS Speed Sensor IC
Optimized for Automotive Cam Sensing Applications
ATS675LSE
Running Mode Operation
Running mode begins immediately at the end of Calibration
mode. During Running mode, switchpoints are established
dynamically, based on the sensed application magnetic gradient, BAPP . To determine switchpoints, BAPP is normalized by the
AGC feature, and processed to generate the internal processed
signal, VPROC . Two peak-detecting DACs track the VPROC waveform, and the output switchpoints are established as percentages
of the values held by the two DACs. Because the switchpoints
are established dynamically as a percentage of the peak-to-peak
signal, the effects of an application baseline shift are minimized.
Running Mode Switchpoints
The values used to define Running mode switchpoints are cal-
culated as a percentage of the peak-to-peak VPROC . As shown in
figure 11, this percentage is subtracted from the maximum VPROC
value, VPROC(high) , a value corresponding to a minimum air gap,
that is, at the most prominent target tooth. On the ATS675LSE,
the switchpoints are referenced to approximately 30% of the
peak-to-peak magnetic signal. This level closely corresponds to
the mechanical target edges, resulting in optimal timing accuracy
versus air gap.
Running Mode Hysteresis
The ATS675LSE uses an internal hysteresis method, switching at
a consistent point on both rising and falling edges. When a target
anomaly is encountered, the internal hysteresis thresholds provide
immunity to false switching, as illustrated in figure 12.

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, 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)
ΔT = PD × RθJA
(2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 7 mA, and RJA = 77 °C/W, then:
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RJA = 101 °C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and
ICC(max) = 10 mA.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First,
invert equation 3:
T(max) = 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) = T(max) ÷ RJA = 15°C ÷ 101 °C/W = 148.5 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 148.5 mW ÷ 10 mA = 14.9 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.
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 7 mA = 84 mW

T = PD × RJA = 84 mW × 77 °C/W = 6.5°C
TJ = TA + T = 25°C + 6.5°C = 31.5°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected
RJA and TA.
