Description

The ATS642LSH is an optimized Hall effect sensing integrated circuit and magnet combination that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed digital gear-tooth sensing in two-wire applications. The sensor consists of a single-shot molded plastic package that includes a samarium cobalt magnet, a pole piece, and a Hall effect IC that has been optimized to the magnetic circuit. This small package, with optimized two-wire leadframe, can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a wide variety of gear shapes and sizes.

The integrated circuit ATS642 incorporates a dual element Hall effect sensor and signal processing that switches in response to differential magnetic signals created by ferrous gear teeth. The circuitry contains a sophisticated digital circuit to reduce magnet and system offsets, to calibrate the gain for air gap independent switchpoints, and to achieve true zero-speed operation. Signal optimization occurs at power-up 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 microoscillations of the target or sudden air gap changes.

The regulated current output is configured for two wire applications and the sensor is ideally suited for obtaining speed and duty cycle information in ABS (antilock braking systems). The 1.5 mm Hall element spacing is optimized for fine pitch gear-tooth-based configurations. The package is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.For a SIP package, please see the ATS642
