The sensor IC consists of a single-shot molded plastic package that includes a samarium cobalt pellet, a pole piece, and a Hall Effect IC that has been optimized to the magnetic circuit. This small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a wide variety of gear 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 ferromagnetic targets. 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 algorithms 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. This sensor IC is ideal for obtaining edge and duty cycle information in gear-tooth–based applications such as transmission speed.

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. The waveform diagram in figure 2 presents the automatic translation of the mechanical profile, through the magnetic profile that it induces, to the digital output signal of the ATS685. No additional optimization is needed and minimal processing circuitry is required. This ease of use reduces design time and incremental assembly costs for most applications. Diagnostics 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 3 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. +mA BOP(#2) BRP(#1) magnetic profile of the ferromagnetic gear target simultaneously, but at different points (spaced at a 2.2 mm pitch), generating a differential internal analog voltage, VPROC , that is processed for precise switching of the digital output signal.

The bottom panel, labeled Device Output Signal, displays the square waveform corresponding to the digital output signal (current amplitude) that results from a rotating gear configured as shown in figure 3.

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 , the output state changes from low to high. (A) TEAG varying; cases such as eccentric mount, out-of-round region, normal operation position shift 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.

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.

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 ATS685 will power-on 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, 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 required in the CALI period.

Power-On Initial Edge Detection. This figure demonstrates four typical power-on scenarios. All of these examples assume that the target is moving relative to the sensor IC in the direction indicated (from pin 1 to pin 4) and the voltage output is configured for low-side sensing, VOUT(Low). 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.

This prevents AGC from calibrating the device on such spurious signals. Calibration can be performed using the actual target features. A typical scenario is shown in figure 7. 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 ATS685 starts to compute switchpoints. Target, Gear Target Magnetic Profile IC Position Relative to Target Differential Signal, VPROC 2 1 3 4 BOP(initial) BRP Start Mode Hysteresis, POHYS BOP BRP BRP(initial) Output Signal, ICC If exceed POHYS on high side If exceed POHYS on low side Figure 7. Operation of Start Mode Hysteresis • At power-on (position 1), the ATS685 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 ATS685 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.

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 ATS685 has a feature during Running mode to compensate for dynamic air gap variation. If the system increases the mag- V CC 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 ATS685 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 ATS685 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.

Differences in the air gap cause differences in the magnetic field at the device, but AGC prevents that from affecting device performance, as shown in the lowest panel.

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 website.) The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, 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, RJC, is relatively small component of RJA. 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) T = PD × RJA (2) TJ = TA + ΔT (3) Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package SH, using a single-layer PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RJA = 126 °C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 28 V, and ICC(max) = 16 mA. Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First, invert equation 3: Tmax = 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) = Tmax ÷ RJA = 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 = 7.4 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 RJA. 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 = 6 mA, and RJA = 126 °C/W, then: PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 6 mA = 72 mW T = PD × RJA = 72 mW × 126 °C/W = 9.1°C TJ = TA + T = 25°C + 9.1°C = 34.1°C A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RJA and TA.
