Description

The ATS617 gear-tooth sensor IC 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 device consists of a high-temperature plastic shell that holds together a samarium-cobalt pellet, 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 technology used for this device is Hall-effect based. The device incorporates a dual-element Hall IC that switches in response to differential magnetic signals created by ferromagnetic 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 peak-detecting filter circuit provides immunity to 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 falling edge detection and stable operation to extremely low rpm. The ATS617 can be used as a replacement for the ATS616. The ATS617 is ideal for use in systems that gather speed, position, and timing information using gear-tooth-based ATS617LSG-DS, Rev. 1 Features and Benefits ▪ Self-calibrating for tight timing accuracy ▪ First-tooth detection ▪ Immunity to air gap variation and system offsets ▪ Immunity to signature tooth offsets ▪ Integrated capacitor provides analog peak and valley information ▪ Low timing-accuracy drift with temperature changes ▪ Low radiated emissions ▪ Integrated, series resistor on VCC pin for improved transient immunity ▪ Large air gap capability ▪ Small, integrated package ▪ Optimized magnetic circuit ▪ Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) ▪ Wide operating voltage range Dynamic, Self-Calibrating, Peak-Detecting, Differential Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor IC Continued on the next page… Package: 4-pin SIP (suffix SG) Not to scale ATS617LSG GND VOUT VC RS C Voltage Regulator TEST Hall Amp Reference Generator Gain Current Limit (Recommended) Hall Amp Track and Hold Track and Hold UVLO Power-On Logic Tooth and Valley Comparator Functional Block Diagram

  • Temperature drift. Changes in temperature do not greatly affect this device due to the stable amplifier design and the offset rejection circuitry.
  • Timing accuracy variation due to air gap. The accuracy varia- tion caused by air gap changes is minimized by the self-calibra- tion 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 cir- cuitry 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 achiev- able with this device due to the sensitive switchpoints after power-on (dependent on target dimensions, material, and speed).
  • Immunity to magnetic overshoot. The patented adjustable hysteresis circuit makes the ATS617 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 im- munity to vibration even when operating at close air gaps.
  • Immunity to gear run out. The differential chip configuration eliminates the baseline variations caused by gear run out Differential vs. Single-Element Design The differential chip is superior in most applications to the classical single-ele- ment design. The single-element configuration commonly used (Hall-effect element 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.

Dynamic, Self-Calibrating, Peak-Detecting, Differential Hall Effect Gear Tooth Sensor ICATS617LSG 14Allegro MicroSystems, LLC Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. Power Derating The device must be operated below the maximum junction temperature of the device, T J(max). Under certain combinations of peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the appli- cation. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors affecting operating T J. (Thermal data is also available on the Allegro MicroSystems website.) The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, is a figure 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 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 T J, at PD. P D = 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 = 126 °C/W, then: P D = VCC × ICC = 12 V × 6 mA = 72 mW  T = PD × RJA = 72 mW × 126 °C/W = 9°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. Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package SG, using minimum-K PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: RJA = 126 °C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 24 V , and ICC(max) = 12 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 ÷ 126 °C/W = 119 mW Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 119 mW ÷ 12 mA = 9.92 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 RJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions. This value applies only to the voltage drop across the ATS617 chip. If a protective series diode or resistor is used, the effec- tive maximum supply voltage is increased. For example, when a standard diode with a 0.7 V drop is used: V CC(max) = 9.9 V + 0.7 V = 10.6 V
