The ATS616 gear-tooth sensor is a peak-detecting device that uses automatic gain
control and an integrated capacitor to provide extremely accurate gear edge detection down to low operating speeds. Each sensor module consists of a high-temperature plastic shell that holds together a samarium-cobalt magnet, a pole piece,
and a differential open-collector Hall 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 gear-sensing technology used for this sensor module is Hall-effect based. The
sensor incorporates a dual-element Hall IC that switches in response to differential
magnetic signals created by ferrous targets. The sophisticated processing circuitry
contains an A-to-D converter that self-calibrates (normalizes) the internal gain
of the device to minimize the effect of air-gap variations. The patented peakdetecting filter circuit eliminates magnet and system offsets and has the ability to
discriminate relatively fast changes such as those caused by tilt, gear wobble, and
eccentricities. This easy-to-integrate solution provides first-tooth detection and
stable operation to extremely low rpm. The ATS616 can be used as a replacement
for the ATS612LSB, eliminating the external peak-holding capacitor needed by
the ATS612LSB.
The ATS616 is ideal for use in systems that gather speed, position, and timing
information using gear-tooth-based configurations. This device is particularly
suited to those applications that require extremely accurate duty cycle control or
accurate edge-detection, such as automotive camshaft sensing.
TheATS616 is provided in a 4-pin SIP that is Pb (lead) free, with a 100% matte
tin plated leadframe.

Figure 1. Configuration with Radial-Tooth Reference Target
For the generation of adequate magnetic field levels, the following recommendations should be followed in the design and
specification of targets:
• 2 mm < tooth width, t < 4 mm
• Valley width, tv > 2 mm
• Valley depth, ht > 2 mm
• Tooth thickness, F ≥ 3 mm
• Target material must be low carbon steel
Although these parameters apply to targets of traditional
geometry (radially oriented teeth with radial sensing, shown in
figure 1), they also can be applied in applications using stamped
targets (an aperture or rim gap punched out of the target material) and axial sensing. For stamped geometries with axial sensing, the valley depth, ht, is intrinsically infinite, so the criteria for
tooth width, t, valley width, tv, tooth material thickness, F, and
material specification need only be considered for reference. For
example, F can now be < 3 mm.

ATS616LSG
Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor
Functional Description
Assembly Description. The ATS616 gear-tooth sensor is a
Hall IC/magnet configuration that is fully optimized to provide
digital detection of gear tooth edges. This sensor is packaged in
a molded miniature plastic body that has been optimized for size,
ease of assembly, and manufacturability. High operating temperature materials are used in all aspects of construction.
After proper power is applied to the component, the sensor is
capable of instantly providing digital information that is representative of the profile of a rotating gear. No additional optimization or processing circuitry is required. This ease of use should
reduce design time and incremental assembly costs for most
applications.
Sensing Technology. The gear tooth sensor module contains a
single-chip differential Hall effect sensor IC, a samarium cobalt
magnet, and a flat ferrous pole piece (figure 2). The Hall IC
consists of 2 Hall elements (spaced 2.2 mm apart) located so
as to measure the magnetic gradient created by the passing of a
ferrous object. The two elements measure the magnetic gradient
and convert it to an analog voltage that is then processed in order
to provide a digital output signal.
The Hall IC is self-calibrating and also possesses a temperature compensated amplifier and offset cancellation circuitry. 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.
Internal Electronics. The processing circuit uses a patented
peak detection scheme to eliminate magnet and system offsets.
This technique allows dynamic coupling and filtering of offsets
without the power-up and settling time disadvantages of classical
high-pass filtering schemes. The peak signal of every tooth and
valley is detected by the filter and is used to provide an instant
reference for the operate and release point comparator. In this
manner, the thresholds are adapted and referenced to individual
signal peaks and valleys, providing immunity to zero line variation from installation inaccuracies (tilt, rotation, and off-center
placement), as well as for variations caused by target and shaft
eccentricities. The peak detection concept also allows extremely
low speed operation for small value filter capacitors.
The ATS616 also includes self-calibration circuitry that is
engaged at power on. The signal amplitude is measured, and
then the device gain is normalized. In this manner switchpoint
drift versus air gap is minimized, and excellent timing accuracy
can be achieved.
The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuitry, in conjunction
with a unique hysteresis circuit, also eliminates the effect of
gear edge overshoot as well as increases the immunity to false
switching caused by gear tooth anomalies at close air gaps. The

Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor
AGC circuit sets the gain of the device after power-on. Up to a
0.25 mm air gap change can occur after calibration is complete
without significant performance impact.
Superior Performance. The ATS616 peak-detecting differential
gear-tooth sensor module has several advantages over conventional Hall-effect gear-tooth sensors. The signal-processing
techniques used in the ATS616 solve the catastrophic issues that
affect the functionality of conventional digital gear-tooth sensors, such as the following:
• Temperature drift. Changes in temperature do not greatly
affect this device due to the stable amplifier design and the
offset rejection circuitry.
classical single-element gear-tooth sensor. The single-element
configuration commonly used (Hall-effect sensor mounted on
the face of a simple permanent magnet) requires the detection
of a small signal (often <100 G) that is superimposed on a large
back-biased field, often 1500 G to 3500 G. For most gear/target
configurations, the back-biased field values change due to
concentration effects, resulting in a varying baseline with air
gap, valley widths, eccentricities, and vibration (figure 4). The
differential configuration (figure 5) cancels the effects of the
back-biased field and avoids many of the issues presented by the
single Hall element design.
• Timing accuracy variation due to air gap. The accuracy variation caused by air gap changes is minimized by the self-calibration circuitry. A 2×-to-3× improvement can be seen.
• Dual edge detection. Because this device switches based on
the positive and negative peaks of the signal, dual edge detection is guaranteed.
• Tilted or off-center installation. Traditional differential sensors
can switch incorrectly due to baseline changes versus air gap
caused by tilted or off-center installation. The peak detector circuitry references the switchpoint from the peak and is
immune to this failure mode. There may be a timing accuracy
shift caused by this condition.
• Large operating air gaps. Large operating air gaps are achievable with this device due to the sensitive switchpoints after
power-on (dependent on target dimensions, material, and
speed).
Figure 4. Affect of varying valley widths on single-element sensors.
• Immunity to magnetic overshoot. The patented adjustable
hysteresis circuit makes the ATS616 immune to switching on
magnetic overshoot within the specified air gap range.
• Response to surface defects in the target. The gain-adjust
circuitry reduces the effect of minor gear anomalies that would
normally cause false switching.
• Immunity to vibration and backlash. The gain-adjust circuitry
keeps the hysteresis of the device roughly proportional to the
peak-to-peak signal. This allows the device to have good immunity to vibration even when operating at close air gaps.
• Immunity to gear run out. The differential sensor configuration eliminates the baseline variations caused by gear run out.
Differential vs. Single-Element Sensing. The differential
Hall-effect configuration is superior in most applications to the

ATS616LSG
Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor
Peak Detecting vs. AC-Coupled Filters. High-pass filtering
(normal ac coupling) is a commonly used technique for eliminating circuit offsets. However, ac coupling has errors at power-on
because the filter circuit needs to hold the circuit zero value
even though the circuit may power-on over a large signal. Such
filtering techniques can only perform properly after the filter
has been allowed to settle, which typically takes longer than 1s.
Also, high-pass filter solutions cannot easily track rapidly changing baselines, such as those caused by eccentricities. (The term
baseline refers to a 0 G differential field, where each Hall-effect
element is subject to the same magnetic field strength; see figure
3.) In contrast, peak detecting designs switch at the change in
slope of the differential signal, and so are baseline-independent
both at power-on and while running.
Peak Detecting vs. Zero-Crossing Reference. The usual dif-
ferential zero-crossing sensors are susceptible to false switching
due to off-center and tilted installations that result in a shift of
the baseline that changes with air gap. The track-and-hold peak
detection technique ignores baseline shifts versus air gaps and
provides increased immunity to false switching. In addition,
using track-and-hold peak detection techniques, increased air
gap capabilities can be expected because peak detection utilizes
the entire peak-to-peak signal range, as compared to zero-crossing detectors, which switch at half the peak-to-peak signal.
is below the minimum operating voltage, VCC(UV) , the device is
off and stays off, irrespective of the state of the magnetic field.
This prevents false signals, which may be caused by undervoltage conditions (especially during power-up), from appearing at
the output.
Output. The device output is an open-collector stage capable of
sinking up to 20 mA. An external pull-up (resistor) must be supplied to a supply voltage of not more than 24 V.
Output Polarity. The output of the unit will switch from low to
high as the leading edge of a tooth passes the branded face of the
sensor in the direction indicated in figure 6. This means that in
such a configuration, the output voltage will be high when the
sensor is facing a tooth. If the target rotation is in the opposite direction relative to the sensor, the output polarity will be
opposite as well, with the unit switching from low to high as the
leading edge passes the unit.

Dynamic Self-Calibrating Peak-Detecting Differential Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor
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 Web site.)
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max),
at a selected RθJA and TA.
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.
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RθJA = 126°C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V, and
ICC(max) = 12 mA.
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.
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package SG, using
minimum-K PCB.
Calculate the maximum allowable power level, PD(max). First,
invert equation 3:
ΔTmax = 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) = ΔTmax ÷ RθJA = 15°C ÷ 126°C/W = 119 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
PD = VIN × IIN
(1)
ΔT = PD × RθJA
(2)
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤VCC(est).
TJ = TA + ΔT
(3)
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.
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VCC = 12 V, ICC = 4 mA, and RθJA = 140°C/W, then:
PD = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW
ΔT = PD × RθJA = 48 mW × 140°C/W = 7°C
TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 119 mW ÷ 12 mA = 9.92 V
This value applies only to the voltage drop across the ATS616
chip. If a protective series diode or resistor is used, the effective maximum supply voltage is increased. For example, when a
standard diode with a 0.7 V drop is used:
VCC(max) = 9.9 V + 0.7 V = 10.6 V
