Features and Benefits Rotational direction detection High start-up and running mode vibration immunity Single-chip sensing IC for high reliability Internal current regulator for two-wire operation Variable pulse width output protocol Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and offset adjust circuit True zero-speed operation Wide operating voltage range Undervoltage lockout ESD and reverse polarity protection Package: 4-pin SIP (suffix SH) Not to scale Description The ATS657 includes an optimized Hall-effect sensing integrated circuit (IC) and rare earth pellet to create a userfriendly solution for direction detection and true zero-speed, digital gear tooth sensing in two-wire applications. The small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a wide variety of gear tooth sensing applications. The IC employs patented algorithms for the special operational requirements of automotive transmission applications. The speed and direction of the target are communicated by this two-wire device through a variable pulse width output protocol. The advanced vibration detection algorithm systematically calibrates the IC on the initial teeth of a true rotation signal and not on vibration, always guaranteeing an accurate signal in running mode. Even the high angular vibration caused by engine cranking is completely rejected by the device. Patented running mode algorithms also protect against air gap changes whether or not the target is in motion. Advanced signal processing and innovative algorithms make the ATS657 an ideal solution for a wide range of speed and direction sensing needs. The device package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Functional Description Data Protocol Description When a target passes in front of the branded face of the package, each tooth of the target generates a pulse at the output of the IC. Each pulse provides target speed and direction data: speed is provided by the pulse rate, while direction of target rotation is provided by the pulse width. The ATS657 can sense target movement in both the forward and reverse directions. The maximum allowable target rotational speed is limited by the width of the output pulse and the shortest low-state duration the system controller can resolve. Forward Rotation (see panel A in figure 1) When the target is rotating such that a tooth near the package passes from pin 4 to pin 1, this is referred to as forward rotation. Forward rotation is indicated on the output by a t w(fwd) (45 μs typical) pulse width. Reverse Rotation (see panel B in figure 1) When the target is rotating such that a tooth passes from pin 1 to pin 4, it is referred to as reverse rotation. Reverse rotation is indicated on the output by a t w(rev) (90 μs typical) pulse width, twice as long as the pulse generated by forward rotation. Non-Direction Output In situations where the IC is not able to discern direction of target rotation, as occurs during initial calibration or during target vibration, the output pulse width is t w(nd). Timing As shown in figure 2, the pulse appears at the output slightly before the sensed magnetic edge traverses the branded face. For targets in forward rotation, this shift, Δfwd, results in the pulse corresponding to the valley with the sensed mechanical edge, and for targets in reverse rotation, the shift, Δrev, results in the pulse corresponding to the tooth with the sensed edge. The sensed mechanical edge that stimulates output pulses is kept the same for both forward and reverse rotation by using only channel 1 for switching. The overall range between the forward and reverse pulse occurrences is determined by the 1.5 mm spacing between the Hall elements of the corresponding differential channel. In either direction, the pulses appear close to the sensed mechanical edge. The size of the target features, however, can slightly bias the occurrence of the pulses.

Start-Up Detection After the power-on time is complete, the ATS657 internally detects the profile of the target. The output becomes active at the first detected switchpoint. Figure 3 shows where the first output pulse occurs for various starting target phases. After calibration is complete, direction information is available and this information is communicated through the output pulse width.

Start-up position effect on first device output switching 8

Continuous Update of Switchpoints The processed differential internal analog signal, V PROC, of each of the two channels is used to determine switchpoints, at which the device determines direction information and changes to output signal polarity. Because the value of V PROC is directly proportional to the differential magnetic flux density, B DIFF, induced by the target and sensed by the Hall elements, the switchpoints occur at threshold levels that correspond to certain levels of B DIFF. The operate point, B OP, occurs when V PROC rises through a certain limit, V PROC(BOP). When B OP occurs, the channel internally switches from low to high. When V PROC falls below V PROC(BOP) through a certain limit, V PROC(BRP), the release point, B RP, occurs and the channel state switches from high to low. As shown in panel C of figure 4, the threshold levels for the ATS657 switchpoints are established as a function of the two previous signal peaks detected. The ATS657 incorporates an algorithm that continuously monitors V PROC and then updates the switching thresholds to correspond to any amplitude reduction. For any given target edge transition, the change in threshold level is limited. Each channel operates in this manner, independent of each other, so independent switchpoint thresholds are calculated for each channel.

The Continuous Update algorithm allows the Allegro IC to immediately 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, elevation due to lubricant build-up in journal gears, and similar dynamic application problems that affect the TEAG (Total Effective Air Gap). Not detailed in the figure are the boundaries for peak capture DAC movement which intentionally limit the amount of internal signal variation the IC is able to react to over a single transition. The algorithm is used to dynamically establish and subsequently update the device switchpoint levels (V PROC(BOP) and V PROC(BRP) ). The hysteresis, B HYS(#x), at each target feature configuration results from this recalibration, ensuring that it remains properly proportioned and centered within the peak-to-peak range of the internal analog signal, V PROC. 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, V PROC, shown in panel B. The Continuous Update algorithm is used to establish accurate switchpoint levels based on the fluctuation of V PROC, as shown in panel C. 9

Operation During Running Mode Vibration During normal running mode, vibration can interfere with the direction detection functions. In that case, during the vibration the device may continue to output speed data with non-directional pulses. If the vibration that occurs has a large enough amplitude such that the peaks of the V PROC signals continue to pass through both switchpoints, non-direction pulses will be outputted during the vibration, as shown in figure 5. If the vibration has a low enough amplitude such that its positive peak is less than V PROC(BOP), no pulses are outputted and no switchpoint updating occurs until the vibration becomes large enough that V PROC exceeds V PROC(BOP). If its negative peak is greater than V PROC(BRP), then there is no output or update until V PROC falls below V PROC(BRP). As shown in figure 6, when that does occur, a single direction pulse may be outputted, however, regardless of whether or not that single pulse occurs, non-direction pulses are outputted throughout the remainder of the vibration.

Undervoltage Lockout When the supply voltage falls below the minimum operating voltage, V CC(UV), I CC goes to the Power-On state and remains regardless of the state of the magnetic gradient from the target. This lockout feature prevents false signals, caused by undervoltage conditions, from propagating to the output of the IC. I CC levels may not meet datasheet limits when V CC < V CC(min). Power Supply Protection The device contains an on-chip regulator and can operate over a wide V CC 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 7 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 of the IC is then automatically adjusted. Figure 8 illustrates the effect of this feature. The two differential channels have their gain set independent of each other, so both channels may or may not have the same gain setting. Automatic Offset Adjust (AOA) The AOA circuitry, when combined with AGC, automatically compensates for the effects of chip, magnet, and installation offsets. (For capability, see Allowable User Induced Differential Offset, in the Electrical Characteristics table.) This circuitry is continuously active, including both during Power-On mode and Running mode, compensating for offset drift. Continuous operation also allows it to compensate for offsets induced by temperature variations over time. Similar to AGC, the AOA is set independently for each channel, so the offset adjust is set per channel, based on the offset characteristics of that specific channel. Figure 7.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The AGC function corrects for variances in the air gap. 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. 11

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 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 θja, 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, R θjc, is a relatively small component of R θja. Ambient air temperature, T A, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by overmolding. The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, P D ), can be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental relationships used to estimate T J, at P D. P D = V IN I IN (1) ΔT = P D R θja (2) T J = T A + ΔT (3) For example, given common conditions such as: T A = 25 C, V CC = 12 V, I CC = 6.5 ma, and R θja = 126 C/W, then: Example: Reliability for V CC at T A = 150 C, package SH, using single layer PCB. Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically: R θja = 126 C/W, T J (max) = 165 C, V CC(absmax) = 24 V, and I CC = 13 ma (Note: At maximum target frequency, I CC(LOW) = 8 ma, I CC(HIGH) = 16 ma, and maximum pulse widths, the result is a duty cycle of 62.4% and a worst case mean I CC of 13 ma.) Calculate the maximum allowable power level, P D (max). First, invert equation 3: ΔT(max) = T J (max) T A = 165 C 150 C = 15 C This provides the allowable increase to T J resulting from internal power dissipation. Then, invert equation 2: P D (max) = ΔT(max) R θja = 15 C 126 C/W = 119 mw Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage: V CC(est) = P D (max) I CC = 119 mw 13 ma = 9.2 V The result indicates that, at T A, the application and device can dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages V CC(est). Compare V CC(est) to V CC (max). If V CC(est) V CC (max), then reliable operation between V CC(est) and V CC (max) requires enhanced R θja. If V CC(est) V CC(max), then operation between V CC(est) and V CC (max) is reliable under these conditions. P D = V CC I CC = 12 V 6.5 ma = 78 mw ΔT = P D R θja = 78 mw 126 C/W = 9.8 C T J = T A + ΔT = 25 C + 9.8 C = 34.8 C A worst-case estimate, P D (max), represents the maximum allowable power level (V CC (max), I CC (max)), without exceeding T J (max), at a selected R θja and T A. 13
