ALLEGRO ATS675LSETN-HT-T

ATS675LSE
Self-Calibrating TPOS Speed Sensor
Optimized for Automotive Cam Sensing Applications
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Chopper stabilized; optimized for automotive cam
sensing applications
▪ Optimized absolute timing accuracy step size through
gradual transition from TPOS to Running Mode
▪ High immunity to signal anomalies resulting from
magnetic overshoot and peak-to-peak field variation
▪ Tight timing accuracy over full operating
temperature range
▪ True zero-speed operation
▪ Automatic Gain Control circuitry for air gap
independent switchpoints
▪ Operation at supply voltages down to 3.3 V
▪ Digital output representing target profile
▪ Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
▪ Patented Hall IC-magnet system
▪ Increased output fall time for improved radiated
emissions performance
The ATS675 is the next generation of the Allegro® True
Power-On State (TPOS) sensor family, offering improved
accuracy compared to prior generations, gradual TPOS to
Running Mode adjustment for accuracy-shift reduction,
and longer output fall time for improved radiated emissions
performance. The ATS675 provides absolute zero-speed
performance and TPOS information.
The sensor incorporates a single-element Hall IC with an
optimized custom magnetic circuit that switches in response
to magnetic signals created by a ferromagnetic target. The IC
contains a sophisticated digital circuit designed to eliminate
the detrimental effects of magnet and system offsets. Signal
processing is used to provide device performance at zero target
speed, independent of air gap, and which adapts dynamically
to the typical operating conditions found in automotive
applications, particularly camshaft-sensing applications.
High resolution peak-detecting DACs are used to set the adaptive
switching thresholds of the device, ensuring high accuracy
despite target eccentricity. Internal hysteresis in the thresholds
reduces the negative effects of anomalies in the magnetic signal
(such as magnetic overshoot) associated with targets used in
many automotive applications. The resulting output of the
device is a digital representation of the ferromagnetic target
profile. The ATS675 also includes a low bandwidth filter that
increases the noise immunity and the signal-to-noise ratio of
the sensor.

Self-Calibrating TPOS Speed Sensor
Optimized for Automotive Cam Sensing Applications
ATS675LSE
Functional Description
Internal Electronics
This device contains a self-calibrating Hall effect IC that provides
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.
by undervoltage conditions from propagating to the output of the
sensor.
Sensing Technology
The ATS675 gear tooth sensor contains a single-chip Hall effect
sensor IC, a 4-pin leadframe, and a specially designed rare-earth
magnet. The Hall IC supports a chopper stabilized Hall element
that measures the magnetic gradient created by the passing of a
ferrous object. This is illustrated in figure 7. 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.
Output
After proper power is applied to the device, it is then capable of
providing digital information that is representative of the profile
of a rotating gear, as illustrated in figure 8. 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.
Undervoltage Lockout
When the supply voltage falls below the undervoltage lockout
level, VCCUV, the device switches to the off-state. The device
remains in that state until the voltage level is restored to the VCC
operating range. Changes in the target magnetic profile have no
effect until voltage is restored. This prevents false signals caused
Power Supply Protection
The ATS675 contains an on-chip regulator and can operate over
a wide range of supply voltage levels. For applications using an
unregulated power supply, transient protection 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.
Output Polarity
With the LT device option, the polarity of the output is low
when the Hall element is opposite a target tooth, and high when
opposite a target valley. The output polarity is opposite in the HT
option.. This is illustrated in figure 8.

Self-Calibrating TPOS Speed Sensor
Optimized for Automotive Cam Sensing Applications
to attain the specified output voltage polarity at power-on, in
relation to the target feature nearest the device at that time. The
TPOS switchpoint is programmed by Allegro to the datasheet
specifications.
ing accuracy step size during startup conditions. A single large
jump in edge position is not allowed; instead, any change in edge
position from TPOS to Running Mode is spread over several
output transitions.
Start-Up Detection
The ATS675 provides an output polarity transition at the first
target mechanical edge that is opposite the device after power-on.
Switchpoints
The Running Mode switchpoints in the ATS675 are established
dynamically as a percentage of the amplitude of the signal,
VPROC , after normalization with AGC. Two DACs track the
peaks of VPROC.
Calibration
The Automatic Gain Calibration (AGC) feature is implemented
by a unique patented self-calibrating circuitry. After each poweron, the device measures the peak-to-peak magnetic signal. The
gain of the sensor is then adjusted, keeping the internal signal,
VPROC , at a constant amplitude throughout the air gap range of
the device. This feature ensures that operational characteristics
are isolated from the effects of changes in effective air gap. The
Initial Calibration process allows the peak detecting DACs to
properly acquire the magnetic signal, so that a Running Mode
switchpoint can be accurately computed.
TPOS to Running Mode
After the Initial Calibration process is completed (CALI), the
device transitions to Running Mode. As shown in figure 9, the
device dynamically adjusts the relative edge position from the
TPOS edge location to the Running Mode location over several
target teeth (CTPORM), significantly reducing the maximum tim-

Sensor and Target Evaluation
A pair of curves can be derived from this map data, and be used
to describe the tooth and valley magnetic field strength, B, versus
the size of the air gap, AG. This allows determination of the minimum amount of magnetic flux density that guarantees operation
of the sensor, so the system designer can determine the maximum
allowable AG for the sensor and target system. One can also
determine the TPOS air gap capabilities of the sensor by comparing the minimum tooth signal to the maximum valley signal.
Magnetic Profile
In order to establish the proper operating specification for a particular sensor device and target system, a systematic evaluation
of the magnetic circuit should be performed. The first step is the
generation of a magnetic map of the target. By using a calibrated
device, a magnetic profile of the system is made. Figure 11 is a
magnetic map of the 8X reference target.

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, 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, RθJC, 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 × RθJA
(2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
(3)
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 7 mA, and RθJA = 77 °C/W, then:
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RθJA = 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:
ΔT(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) = ΔT(max) ÷ RθJA = 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 RθJA. 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
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 84 mW × 77 °C/W = 6.5°C
TJ = TA + ΔT = 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
RθJA and TA.
