The ATS630LSA and the ATS631LSA true power-on state (TPOS)
gear-tooth sensors are optimized Hall-effect IC/magnet combinations
that provide power-on tooth/valley recognition and extremely accurate
tooth edge detection when used with large-pitch targets. Each sensor
subassembly consists of a high-temperature plastic shell that holds
together a compound samarium-cobalt magnet and a single-element
self-calibrating Hall-effect IC that has been optimized to the magnetic
circuit. This small package can be easily assembled on a PC board for
complete protection and used in conjunction with a number of gear
configurations. The ATS630LSA and ATS631LSA are identical except
for output polarity.
The gear sensing technology used for these sensor subassemblies
is Hall-effect based. The sensor incorporates a single-element Hall IC
that switches in response to absolute magnetic signals created by a
ferrous target. The sophisticated processing circuitry contains self-
calibrating 6-bit A/D circuitry that adapts the thresholds to the peak-to-
peak signals to minimize the effects of variation in application air gap
on switch-point timing accuracy. The effects of system and device
offsets are minimized by using active offset cancellation circuitry. The
digital algorithm provides zero-speed detection capabilities without the
associated running jitter inherent in classical digital solutions.
These sensor systems are ideal for use in gathering speed,
position and profile information of ferrous objects. These devices are
particularly suited to large tooth/valley sensing applications such as
those used in automotive cam-shaft sensing applications where power-
on state and accurate timing accuracy are desired features. Both
output polarities are provided. For applications requiring the sensing
of fine-pitch gears, the ATS610LSA and ATS611LSB are recom-
mended.
ATS630LSA: HIGH digital output state over a tooth.
ATS631LSA: LOW digital output state over a tooth.
