The Hall Effect sensor IC TLE4942 is designed to provide information about
rotational speed, direction of rotation, assembly position and limit airgap to modern
vehicle dynamics control systems and ABS. The output has been designed as a two
wire current interface based on a Pulse Width Modulation principle. The sensor
operates without external components and combines a fast power-up time with a low
cut-off frequency. Excellent accuracy and sensitivity is specified for harsh automotive
requirements as a wide temperature range, high ESD robustness and high EMC
resilience. State-of-the-art BiCMOS technology is used for monolithic integration of
the active sensor areas and the signal conditioning.
Finally, the optimised piezo compensation and the integrated dynamic offset
compensation enable easy manufacturing and elimination of magnet offsets.
The TLE4942C is additionally provided with an overmolded 1.8nF capacitor for
improved EMI performance.

Functional Description
The differential Hall Effect IC detects the motion of ferromagnetic or permanent
magnet structures by measuring the differential flux density of the magnetic field. To
detect the motion of ferromagnetic objects the magnetic field must be provided by a
backbiasing permanent magnet. Either the South or North pole of the magnet can be
attached to the rear, unmarked side of the IC package.
Magnetic offsets of up to ± 20mT and mechanical offsets are cancelled out through a
self-calibration algorithm. Only a few transitions are necessary for the self-calibration
procedure. After the initial self-calibration sequence switching occurs when the input
signal crosses the arithmetic mean of its max. and min. values (e.g. zero-crossing for
sinusoidal signals).
The ON and OFF state of the IC are indicated by High and Low current
consumption. Each zero crossing of the magnetic input signal triggers an output
pulse.

In addition to the speed signal, the following information is provided by varying the
length of the output pulses in Figure 3 (PWM modulation):
Airgap Warning range = Warning
Warning information is issued in the output pulse length when the magnetic field is
below a critical value. (E. g. the airgap between the Hall Effect IC and the target
wheel exceeds a critical value). The device works with reduced functionality.
Assembly position range = EL
EL information is issued in the output pulse length when the magnetic field is below a
predefined value (the airgap between the Hall Effect IC and the target wheel exceeds
a predefined value). The device works with full functionality.
Direction of rotation right = DR-R
DR–R information is issued in the output pulse length when the target wheel in front
of the Hall Effect IC moves from the pin GND to the pin VCC.
Direction of rotation left = DR-L
DR–L information is issued in the output pulse length when the target wheel in front
of the Hall Effect IC moves from the pin VCC to the pin GND.

Circuit Description
The circuit is supplied internally by a voltage regulator. An on-chip oscillator serves
as a clock generator for the DSP and the output encoder.
Speed signal circuitry:
TLE4942 speed signal path comprises of a pair of Hall Effect probes, separated from
each other by 2.5mm, a differential amplifier including noise limiting low-pass filter,
and a comparator triggering a switched current output stage. An offset cancellation
feedback loop is provided through a signal-tracking A/D converter, a digital signal
processor (DSP), and an offset cancellation D/A converter.
During the power-up phase (uncalibrated mode) the output is disabled.
The differential input signal is digitized in the speed A/D converter and fed into the
DSP part of the circuit. The minimum and maximum values of the input signal are
extracted and their corresponding arithmetic mean value is calculated. The offset of
this mean value is determined and fed into the offset cancellation DAC.
After successful correction of the offset, the output switching is enabled.
In running mode (calibrated mode) the offset correction algorithm of the DSP is
switched into a low-jitter mode, thereby avoiding oscillation of the offset DAC LSB.
Switching occurs at zero-crossover. It is only affected by the small residual offset of
the comparator and by the propagation delay time of the signal path, which is mainly
determined by the noise limiting filter. Signals which are below a predefined threshold
∆BLimit are not detected. This prevents unwanted switching.
The comparator also detects whether the signal amplitude exceeds ∆BWarning or ∆BEL.
This information is fed into the DSP and the output encoder. The pulse length of the
High output current is generated according to the rotational speed, the direction of
rotation and the magnetic field strength.
Direction signal circuitry:
The differential signal between a third Hall probe and the mean of the differential Hall
probe pair is obtained from the direction input amplifier. This signal is digitized by the
direction ADC and fed into the DSP circuitry. There, the phase of the signal referring
to the speed signal is analyzed and the direction information is forwarded to the
output encoder.

The sensor requires up to nstart magnetic switching edges for valid speed information after
power-up or after a stand still condition. During that phase the output is disabled.
2)
The first 3 pulses containing direction information can have the wrong rotation information.
(The first pulse after starting with the speed signal can have any length < tStop. At ∆BLimit
output pulses might have any length < tStop).
3)
During fast offset alterations, due to the calibration algorithm, exceeding the specified duty
cycle is permitted for short time periods.

PWM Current Interface
Between each magnetic transition and the rising edge of the corresponding output
pulse the output current is Low for tpre-low in order to allow reliable internal
conveyance. Following the signal pulse (current is High) is output.
If the magnetic differential field exceeds ∆BEL, the output pulse lengths are 90µs or
180µs respectively, depending on the direction of rotation.
When the magnitude of the magnetic differential field is below ∆BEL, the output pulse
lengths are 360µs and 720µs respectively, depending on left or right rotation. Due to
decreasing cycle times at higher frequencies, these longer pulses are only output up
to frequencies of approximately 117Hz. For higher frequencies and differential
magnetic fields below ∆BEL, the output pulse lengths are 90µs or 180µs respectively.
If the magnitude of the magnetic differential field is below ∆BWarning, the output pulse
length is 45µs. The warning output is dominant, this means that close to the limit
airgap the direction and the assembly position information are disabled.
For magnitudes of the magnetic differential field below ∆BLimit, signal is lost.
In case no magnetic differential signal is detected for a time longer than the stand still
period Tstop, the stop pulse is output. Typically with the first output stop pulse, the
circuitry reverts to the uncalibrated mode.
