Description

The A1642 is an optimized Hall effect sensing integrated circuit that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed digital ring-magnet sensing in two-wire applications. This small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a wide variety of target shapes and sizes. The integrated circuit incorporates dual Hall effect elements and signal processing that switches in response to differential magnetic signals created by ring magnet poles. The circuitry contains a sophisticated digital circuit to reduce system offsets, to calibrate the gain for air-gap–independent switchpoints, and to achieve true zero-speed operation. Signal optimization occurs at power-on through the combination of offset and gain adjust and is maintained throughout the operating time with the use of a running-mode calibration. The running-mode calibration allows immunity to environmental effects such as micro-oscillations of the target or sudden air gap changes. The regulated current output is configured for two-wire applications and the A1642 is ideally suited for obtaining speed and duty cycle information in ABS (antilock braking systems). The 1.5 mm spacing between the dual Hall elements is optimized for fine pitch ring-magnet–based configurations. For applications requiring sensing of rotating ferrous gears and targets, refer to the Allegro ATS series of products. The package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

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 pro- tection may still be required. Contact Allegro Microsystems for information on the circuitry needed for compliance with various EMC specifi cations. Refer to fi gure 7 for an example of a basic application circuit. Undervoltage Lockout When the supply voltage falls below the undervoltage lockout voltage, VCC(UV), the device enters Reset, where the output state returns to the Power-On State (POS) until suffi cient VCC is sup- plied. ICC levels may not meet datasheet limits when VCC < VCC(min). Assembly Description This device is integrally molded into a plastic body that has been optimized for size, ease of assembly, and manufacturability. High operating temperature materials are used in all aspects of construction. Diagnostics The regulated current output is confi gured for two wire appli- cations, requiring one less wire for operation than do switches with the more 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 8 as I CC(High) and ICC(Low). Any current level not within these ranges indicates a fault condi- tion. If I CC > 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.

Two-Wire True Zero-Speed Miniature Differential Peak-Detecting Sensor IC with Continuous CalibrationA1642 11Allegro MicroSystems, LLC Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. DEVICE OPERATION Each operating mode is described in detail below. Power-On When power (VCC > VCC(Min)) is applied to the device, a short period of time is required to power the various portions of the IC. During this period, the A1642 powers-on in the high current state, I CC(High). After power-on, there are conditions that could induce a change in the output state. Such an event could be caused by thermal transients, but would require a static applied magnetic fi eld, proper signal polarity, and particular direction and magnitude of internal signal drift. Initial Offset Adjust The device initially cancels the effects of chip, magnet, and installation offsets. Once offsets have been cancelled, the digital tracking DAC is ready to track the signal and provide output switching. The period of time required for both Power-On and Initial Offset Adjust is defi ned as the Power-On Time. Calibration Mode The calibration mode allows the device to automatically select the proper signal gain and continue to adjust for offsets. The AGC is active, and selects the optimal signal gain based on the amplitude of the VPROC signal. Following each adjustment to the AGC DAC, the Offset DAC is also adjusted to ensure the internal analog signal is properly centered. During this mode, the tracking DAC is active and output switch- ing occurs, but the duty cycle is not guaranteed to be within specifi cation. Running Mode After the Initial Calibration period, C I, establishes a signal gain, the device moves to Running mode. During Running mode, the device tracks the input signal and gives an output edge for every peak of the signal. AOA remains active to compensate for any offset drift over time. The A1642 incorporates a novel algorithm for adjusting the signal gain during Running mode. This algorithm is designed to optimize the V PROC signal amplitude in instances where the magnetic signal “seen” during the calibration period is not repre- sentative of the amplitude of the magnetic signal for the installed device air gap (see fi gure 9). Device Electrical Output, IOUT Internal Differential Signal, V PROC BRP BOP BOP BRP 1 2 3 4 5 Figure 9: Operation of Running Mode Gain Adjust. Position 1. The device is initially powered-on. Self-calibration occurs. Position 2. Small amplitude oscillation of the target sends an erroneously small differential signal to the device. The ampli- tude of V PROC is greater than the switching hysteresis (BOP and BRP), and the device output switches. Position 3. The calibration period completes on the third rising output edge, and the device enters Running mode. Position 4. True target rotation occurs and the correct magnetic signal is generated for the installation air gap. The estab- lished signal gain is too large for the target’s rotational magnetic signal at the given air gap. Position 5. Running Mode Calibration corrects the signal gain to an optimal level for the installation air gap.

Power Derating Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package KN (I1 trim), using 1-layer PCB Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifi cally: RJA = 170 °C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 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 ÷ RJA = 15°C ÷ 170 °C/W = 88.2 mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 88.2 mW ÷ 16 mA = 5.5 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 reli- able operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires enhanced RJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions. 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 sup- plied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the application. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors affecting operating T J. (Thermal data is also available on the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.) The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, is a fi gure of merit sum- marizing 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, R JC, is relatively small component of RJA. Ambient air temperature, TA, and air motion are signifi cant 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 T J, at PD. PD = VIN × IIN (1) T J = TA + ΔT (3) For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C, VCC = 12 V, ICC = 6 mA, and RJA = 170 °C/W, then: P D = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 6 mA = 72 mW  T = PD × RJA = 72 mW × 170 °C/W = 12.2°C A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allow- able power level (VCC(max), ICC(max)), without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RJA and TA.
