ATS632LSC Data Sheet 27627.126 ATS632LSC HALL-EFFECT GEAR-TOOTH SENSOR SUBASSEMBLY ZERO-SPEED, SELF-CALIBRATING, NON-ORIENTED, HALL-EFFECT GEAR-TOOTH SENSOR The ATS632LSC gear-tooth sensor is an optimized Hall-effect IC/ magnet combination that provides tooth/valley recognition and extremely accurate tooth edge detection when used with large-pitch targets. The sensor subassembly consists of a high-temperature plastic shell that holds together a compound samarium-cobalt magnet, a single-element self-calibrating Hall-effect IC that has been optimized to the magnetic circuit, and a voltage regulator. This small package, with its non-oriented operation, can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a number of gear configurations. 1 = Supply 2 = Output 3 = Ground 1 2 3 Dwg. AH-008 PRELIMINARY INFORMATION (subject to change without notice) April 8, 1998 The gear sensing technology used for this sensor subassembly is Hall-effect based. The sensor incorporates a single-element Hall IC that switches in response to absolute magnetic signals created by a ferrous target. The digital output is LOW over a tooth and HIGH over a valley. The sophisticated processing circuitry contains self-calibrating 6-bit A/D circuitry that adapts the thresholds to the peak-to-peak signals to minimize the effects of variation in application air gap on switch-point timing accuracy. The effects of system and device offsets are minimized by using active offset cancellation circuitry. The digital algorithm provides zero-speed detection capabilities without the associated running jitter inherent in classical digital solutions. The sensor system is ideal for use in gathering speed, position and profile information of ferrous objects. The device is particularly suited to large tooth/valley sensing applications where accurate timing accuracy is a desired feature. For applications requiring the sensing of fine-pitch gears, the ATS611LSB is recommended.

The selfcalibrating feature of the ATS632LSC requires that a special evaluation technique be used to measure its highaccuracy performance capabilities. Installation inaccuracies are calibrated out at power on; hence, it is extremely important that the device be re-powered at each air gap when gathering timing accuracy data. Self-Calibrating Functions. This subassembly is designed to minimize performance variation caused by the large air gap variations resulting from installation by self-calibrating at power-on. It is also designed to minimize performance variation caused by the smaller, slower air gap changes resulting from temperature change and gear run-out during continuous operation by updating the self-calibration periodically (after every 64 output pulses) if necessary. These two functions should be tested using the following procedure. 1. Set the air gap to the desired value. 2. Power down and then power on the device. 3. Rotate the target at the desired speed. 4. Wait for calibration to complete (16 output pulses to occur). 5. Monitor output for correct switching and measure accuracy. 6. Repeat the above for multiple air gaps within the operating range of the device. 7. This can be repeated over the entire temperature range. ATS632LSC HALL-EFFECT GEAR-TOOTH SENSOR SUBASSEMBLY APPLICATIONS INFORMATION — Continued Measurement of the effect of changing air gap after power on: 1. Set the air gap to the desired value (nominal, for example). Rotate the target at the desired speed. Apply power to the subassembly. Wait for 16 output pulses to occur. Monitor output for correct switching and measure accuracy. 2. Change the air gap by ± 0.25 mm. Do not re-power subassembly. Wait for 64 output pulses to occur. Monitor the output for correct switching and measure accuracy. Operation with Fine-Pitch Gears. The self-calibration routines allow the detection of fine-pitch gears once the target is rotating. The major issue in these applications is the impact of gear run-out on the baseline of the magnetic field. Excessive run-out may result in tooth edges not being detected. Device Switch Points. The device switch points are referenced to the peak-to-peak values of the gain-adjusted signal. The comparator thresholds have been chosen to provide timing accuracy, as well as limited immunity from mis-detection caused by short valley conditions or by gear run-out. Output. The output of the subassembly is a short-circuitprotected open-collector stage capable of sinking 20 mA. An external pull-up (resistor) to a supply voltage of not more than 24 V must be supplied either at the sensor module or at the controller. Gear Design Criteria.* The system was designed to work correctly with minimum valley depths of 5 mm and minimum valley widths of 13 mm. As the valley depth decreases, the valley field rises above the open-circuit value of the magnetic circuit when the sensor is at minimum air gap. The same is true when the valley width decreases. In both cases, the metal mass from the valley bottom or side walls provides an interference at minimum air gap and will provide a signal that may be interpreted as a tooth upon power on. It is important to note that this anomaly will normally only affect the power-on state of the device and the self-calibration circuitry will null this baseline shift when the device is in running mode. * In application, the terms “gear” and “target” are often interchanged. However, “gear” is preferred when motion is transferred. Signal-Timing Accuracy. Timing accuracy is improved with larger gear diameters. The magnetic field profile has a defined spread that narrows in degrees as the target diameter increases. The slope of this magnetic profile also changes with air gap. For highest accuracy, targets greater than 100 mm diameter should be used. Signal Duty Cycle. For regular tooth geometries, precise duty cycle is maintained over the operating air gap and temperature range due to the good symmetry of the magnetic switch points of the device. Output Polarity. The switching of the output is independent of the direction of gear rotation. Power Supply Protection. These devices require minimal protection circuitry during operation from a lowvoltage line. The internal voltage regulator provides immunity to power supply variations between 6 V and 24 V. EMI/RFI protection is provided as part of the internal regulator. In extremely noisy environments, additional (external) components may be required.
