The A17201 is an AC-coupled Hall-effect sensor IC which

includes monolithic integrated circuits that switch in response

tochangingdifferentialmagneticfieldscreatedbyrotatingring

magnets or, when coupled with a magnet, by ferrous targets.

This device also includes an integrated tracking capacitor

that provides the high accuracy of analog sensing without an

external filter capacitor. This reduces cost and components,

while improving the reliability of the final sensor solution.

Magnetic field changes affect the two integrated Hall

transducers and then are differentially amplified on the chip.

Differential design provides immunity to radial vibration,

within the device operating air gap range, by rejection of this

common-mode signal change. Steady-state system offsets are

eliminated using an on-chip differential bandpass filter with

integratedcapacitor.Thisfilteralsoprovidesrelativeimmunity

to interference from electromagnetic sources. The device uses

advanced temperature compensation for the high-pass filter,

sensitivity, and Schmitt trigger switchpoints to guarantee

optimal operation to low frequencies over a wide range of air

gaps and temperatures.
