Applications
The TLE4959C is an integrated differential Hall speed sensor ideally suited for transmission applications. Its
basic function is to provide information about rotational speed and direction of rotation to the transmission
control unit. TLE4959C includes a sophisticated algorithm which actively suppresses vibration while keeping
excellent airgap performance.

TLE4959C Transmission Speed Sensor
Description
The TLE4959C comes in a RoHs compliant three-pin package, qualified for automotive usage. It has two
integrated capacitors on the lead frame (220 nF/1.8 nF). These capacitors increase the EMC robustness of the
device. In 12 V applications it is further recommended to use a serial resistor RSupply of 100 Ω (tbd) for
protection on the supply line. A pull-up resistor RLoad is mandatory on the output pin and determines the
maximum current flowing through the output transistor. A value of 1.2 kΩ is recommended for the 5V
application. (see Figure 1)

Functional Description

Functional Description
The differential Hall sensor IC detects the motion of tooth and magnet encoder applications. To detect the
motion of ferromagnetic objects, the magnetic field must be provided by a back biasing permanent magnet.
Either south or north pole of the magnet can be attached to the rear unmarked side of the IC package (See
Figure 2). The magnetic measurement is based on three equally spaced Hall elements, integrated on the IC.
Both magnetic and mechanical offsets are cancelled by a self calibration algorithm.
The sensor includes a voltage output PWM protocol.
1.1
Definition of the Magnetic Field Direction
The magnetic field of a permanent magnet exits from the north pole and enters the south pole. If a north pole
is attached to the backside of the High End Transmission Sensor, the field at the sensor position is positive, as
shown in Figure 2.

Functional Description
1.3
Basic Operation
The speed signal calculated out of the differential hall elements, is amplified, filtered and digitized. An
algorithm in the digital core for peak detection and offset calculation will be executed. The offset is fed back
into the speed signal path with a digital to analog converter for offset correction. During uncalibrated mode,
the output of the speed pulse is triggered in the digital core by exceeding a certain threshold of the tracking
ADC. In calibrated mode the output is triggered by the visible hysteresis.
The direction signal is calculated out of center Hall signals. The direction signal is amplified, filtered, and
digitized. In the digital core the direction and the vibration detection information is determined and the
output protocol is issued.
1.4
Uncalibrated and Calibrated Mode
After power on the differential magnetic speed signal is tracked by an analog to digital converter (Tracking
ADC) and monitored within the digital core. If the signal slope is identified as a rising edge or falling edge, the
first output pulse is triggered. A second trigger pulse is issued with direction information.
In uncalibrated mode, the output protocols are triggered by the DNC (detection noise constant) in the speed
path. After start up the sensor switches with the DNC min value and after that the DNC is adapted to the
magnetic input signal amplitude.
The offset update starts if two valid extrema values are found and the direction of the update has the same
orientation as the magnetic signal. For example, a positive offset update is being issued on a rising magnetic
edge only. After a successful offset correction, the sensor is in calibrated mode. Switching occurs at the
adaptive hysteresis threshold level.
In calibrated mode, the DNC is adapted to magnetic input signal amplitude with a minimum of
deltaBlimit. The output pulses are then triggered with adaptive hysteresis.
1.5
Hysteresis Concept
The adaptive hysteresis is linked to the input signal. Therefore, the system is able to suppress switching if
vibration or noise signals are smaller than the adaptive hysteresis levels. The typical value for the hysteresis
level is 1/4 of the magnetic input signal amplitude, the minimum hysteresis level is ΔBlimit.
The visible hysteresis keeps the excellent performance in large pitch transmission application wheels.

Functional Description
1.6
Rotational Direction
The direction signal is digitized by an analog to digital converter (direction ADC) and fed into the digital core.
Depending upon the rotation direction of the target wheel, the signal of the center probe anticipates or lags
behind for 90°. This phase relationship is evaluated and converted into rotation direction information by
sampling the signal of the center probe in the proximity of the zero crossing of the “speed” bridge signal.
The first pulse after power (power on pulse) has a different length to signalize that there is no direction
information available .
Forward pulse (tfwd) is issue if the wheel rotates from pin 1 to pin 3
Backward pulse (tbwd) is issue if the wheel rotates from pin 3 to pin 1

Vibration Suppression
The magnetic signal amplitude and the direction information are used for detection of parasitic magnetic
signals. Unwanted magnetic signal can be caused by angular or air gap vibrations. If an input signal is
identified as a vibration the output pulse will be suppressed.
