The ATS625 true zero-speed gear tooth sensor IC is an optimized
Hall IC and rare earth pellet configuration that provides a
manufacturer-friendly solution for digital gear tooth sensing
applications. The over-molded package holds together a
samarium cobalt pellet, a pole piece concentrator, and a true
zero-speed Hall IC that has been optimized to the magnetic
circuit. This small package can be easily assembled and used
in conjunction with gears of various shapes and sizes.
Highly repeatable over operating temperature range
Tight timing accuracy over operating temperature range
True zero-speed operation
Air-gap–independent switchpoints
Vibration immunity
Large operating air gaps
Defined power-on state
Wide operating voltage range
Digital output representing target profile
Single-chip sensing IC for high reliability
The device incorporates a dual-element Hall IC that switches
in response to differential magnetic signals created by a ferrous
target. Digital processing of the analog signal provides zerospeed performance independent of air gap as well as dynamic
adaptation of device performance to the typical operating
conditions found in automotive applications (reduced vibration
sensitivity). High-resolution peak detecting DACs are used to
set the adaptive switching thresholds of the device. Switchpoint
hysteresis reduces the negative effects of any anomalies
in the magnetic signal associated with the targets used in
many automotive applications. This device is optimized for
crank applications that utilize targets that possess signature
regions.

Figure 1. Configuration with Radial-Tooth Reference Target
For the generation of adequate magnetic field levels, the following recommendations should be followed in the design and
specification of targets:
• 2 mm < tooth width, t < 4 mm
• Valley width, tv > 2 mm
• Valley depth, ht > 2 mm
• Tooth thickness, F ≥ 3 mm
• Target material must be low carbon steel
Although these parameters apply to targets of traditional
geometry (radially oriented teeth with radial sensing, shown in
figure 1), they also can be applied in applications using stamped
targets (an aperture or rim gap punched out of the target material) and axial sensing. For stamped geometries with axial sensing, the valley depth, ht, is intrinsically infinite, so the criteria for
tooth width, t, valley width, tv, tooth material thickness, F, and
material specification need only be considered for reference. For
example, F can now be < 3 mm.

True Zero-Speed Low-Jitter High Accuracy
Gear Tooth Sensor IC
ATS625LSG
Device Description
magnetic gradient created by the passing of a ferrous object. This
is illustrated in figures 2 and 3. The differential output of the
two elements is converted to a digital signal that is processed to
provide the digital output.
Package Description
The ATS625LSG is a combined Hall IC and rare-earth pellet
configuration that is fully optimized to provide digital detection of gear tooth edges. 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.
Switching Description
After proper power is applied to the component, the chip is then
capable of providing digital information that is representative of
the profile of a rotating gear, as illustrated in figure 4. No additional optimization is needed and minimal processing circuitry is
required. This ease of use reduces design time and incremental
assembly costs for most applications.
Hall Technology
The ATS625 contains a single-chip differential Hall effect sensor IC, a 4-pin leadframe, a samarium cobalt pellet, and a flat
ferrous pole piece. The Hall IC consists of two Hall elements
spaced 2.2 mm apart, and each independently measures the

level, VCCUV, the device switches to the OFF state. The device
remains in that state until the voltage level is restored to to the
VCC operating range. Changes in the target magnetic profile
have no effect until voltage is restored. This prevents false signals caused by undervoltage conditions from propagating to the
output of the IC.
Power Supply Protection
The device contains an on-chip regulator and can operate over
a wide range of supply voltage levels. For applications using an
unregulated power supply, transient protection must be added
externally. For applications using a regulated supply line, EMI
and RFI protection may still be required. The circuit shown in
figure 5 is the basic configuration required for proper device
operation. Contact Allegro field applications engineering for
information on the circuitry required for compliance to various
EMC specifications.
Internal Electronics
The ATS625LSG contains a self-calibrating Hall effect IC
that possesses two Hall elements, a temperature compensated
amplifier and offset cancellation circuitry. The IC also contains
a voltage regulator that provides supply noise rejection over the
operating voltage range. The Hall transducers and the electronics are integrated on the same silicon substrate by a proprietary
BiCMOS process. Changes in temperature do not greatly affect
this device due to the stable amplifier design and the offset rejection circuitry.

Device Operation Description
Power-On State
At power-on, the device is guaranteed to initialize in the OFF
state, with VOUT high.
First Edge Detection
The device uses the first two mechanical edges to synchronize
with the target features (tooth or valley) and direction of rotation
of the target. The device is synchronized by the third edge. The
actual behavior is affected by: target rotation direction relative to
Package
Pin 4 Side
the package, target feature (tooth, rising edge, falling edge, or
valley) that is centered on the device at power-on, and fact that
the chip powers-on in the OFF state, with VOUT high, regardless
of the eventual direction of target rotation. The interaction of
these factors results in a number of possible power-on scenarios.
These are diagrammed in figure 6. In all start-up scenarios, the
correct number of output edges is provided, but the accuracy of
the first two edges may be compromised.

AGC. The result is a normalized VPROC, which allows optimal performance by the rest of the circuits that reference this signal.
Offset Adjustment
In addition to normalizing performance over varying AG, the
gain control circuitry also reduces the effect of chip, magnet,
and installation offsets. This is accomplished using two DACs
(D to A converters) that capture the peaks and valleys of the
processed signal, VPROC, and use it as a reference for the Threshold Comparator subcircuit, which controls device switching. If
induced offsets bias the absolute signal up or down, AGC and
the dynamic DAC behavior work to normalize and reduce the
impact of the offset on device performance.

Switchpoints
Switchpoints in the ATS625 are a percentage of the amplitude of
the signal, VPROC, after normalization with AGC. In operation,
the actual switching levels are determined dynamically. Two
DACs track the peaks of VPROC (see the Update subsection).
The switching thresholds are established at 40% and 60% of the
values held in the two DACs. The proximity of the thresholds
near the 50% level ensures the most accurate and consistent
switching, because it is where the slope of VPROC is steepest and
least affected by air gap variation.
ing from the previous two edges. Because variations are tracked
in real time, the device has high immunity to target run-out and
retains excellent accuracy and functionality in the presence of
both run-out and transient mechanical events. Figure 9 shows
how the device uses historical data to provide the switching
threshold for a given edge.
Dynamic BOP Threshold Determination
The low hysteresis, 20%, provides high performance over various air gaps and immunity to false switching on noise, vibration,
backlash, or other transient events.
Update
The ATS625 incorporates an algorithm that continuously monitors the system and updates the switching thresholds accordingly.
The switchpoint for each edge is determined by the signal result-

IC and Target Evaluation
A single curve can be derived from this map data, and be used to
describe the peak-to-peak magnetic field strength versus the size
of the air gap, AG. This allows determination of the minimum
amount of magnetic flux density that guarantees operation of
the IC, BIN, so the system designer can determine the maximum
allowable AG for the IC and target system. Referring to figure 11, a BIN of 60 G corresponds to a maximum AG of approximately 2.5 mm.
Magnetic Profile
In order to establish the proper operating specification for a particular IC and target system, a systematic evaluation of the magnetic circuit should be performed. The first step is the generation
of a magnetic map of the target. By using a calibrated device, a
magnetic profile of the system is made. Figure 10 is a magnetic
map of the 60+2 reference target.

Accuracy
While the update algorithm will allow the device to adapt to
typical air gap variations, major changes in air gap can adversely
affect switching performance. When characterizing IC performance over a significant air gap range, be sure to re-power the
device at each test at different air gaps. This ensures that self-calibration occurs for each installation condition. See the Operating
Characteristics table and the charts in the Characteristic Data:
Relative Timing Accuracy section for performance information.
Repeatability
Repeatability measurement methodology has been formulated to
minimize the effect of test system jitter on device measurements.
By triggering the measurement instrument, such as an oscilloscope, close to the desired output edge, the speed variations that
occur within a single revolution of the target are effectively nullified. Because the trigger event occurs a very short time before
the measured event, little opportunity is given for measurement
system jitter to impact the time-based measurements.
After the data is taken on the oscilloscope, statistical analysis
of the distribution is made to quantify variability and capability. Although complete repeatability results can be found in the
Characteristic Data: Repeatability section, figure 11 shows the
correlation between magnetic signal strength and repeatability.
Because an direct relationship exists between magnetic signal
strength and repeatability, optimum repeatability performance
can be attained through minimizing the operating air gap and
optimizing the target design.

True Zero-Speed Low-Jitter High Accuracy
Gear Tooth Sensor IC
ATS625LSG
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 supplied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the
application. This section presents a procedure for correlating
factors affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on
the Allegro MicroSystems Web site.)
The Package Thermal Resistance, RJA, 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, RJC, is
relatively small component of RJA. 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 TJ, at PD.
PD = VIN × IIN
Observe the worst-case ratings for the device, specifically:
RJA = 126°C/W, TJ(max) = 165°C, VCC(max) = 26.5 V, and
ICC(max) = 8 mA. Note that ICC(max) at TA = 150°C is lower than
the ICC(max) at TA = 25°C given in the Operating Characteristics
table.
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 ÷ RJA = 15°C ÷ 126 °C/W = 119 mW
Finally, invert equation 1 with respect to voltage:
VCC(est) = PD(max) ÷ ICC(max) = 119 mW ÷ 8 mA = 14.9 V
(1)
The result indicates that, at TA, the application and device can
dissipate adequate amounts of heat at voltages ≤VCC(est).
(3)
Compare VCC(est) to VCC(max). If VCC(est) ≤ VCC(max), then reliable operation between VCC(est) and VCC(max) requires enhanced
RJA. If VCC(est) ≥ VCC(max), then operation between VCC(est) and
VCC(max) is reliable under these conditions.
T = PD × RJA (2)
TJ = TA + ΔT
Example: Reliability for VCC at TA = 150°C, package SG, using
minimum-K PCB.
For example, given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C,
VIN = 12 V, IIN = 4 mA, and RJA = 140 °C/W, then:
PD = VIN × IIN = 12 V × 4 mA = 48 mW
T = PD × RJA = 48 mW × 140 °C/W = 7°C
TJ = TA + T = 25°C + 7°C = 32°C
A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RJA
and TA.
