FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Sensing Technology

The sensor IC contains three Hall elements used in three differ-

ential pairs to provide an electrical output signal containing infor-

mation regarding target edge position and direction of rotation.

Target Profiling

After proper power is applied to the sensor IC, it is capable

of providing digital information that is representative of the

mechanical or magnetic features of a rotating target. The wave-

form diagrams in Figure 7 present the automatic translation of

the target profiles, from their induced magnetic profiles to the

digital output signal of the sensor IC. Three differential mag-

netic profiles are used to determine the location of the switching

feature as well as the direction of rotation. While the location of

the switching feature is determined from the differential magnetic

profile (referred to as the speed channel), the direction of rotation

is determined by the relative amplitude comparison of two low

resolution normalized direction channels.

Direction Detection

The sensor IC compares the relative amplitude values of the two

low resolution normalized direction signals at the speed channel

switch point location to determine which direction the target is

rotating. The direction of rotation is then communicated through

the output pulse width. While in calibration mode, direction

information is not available. As a result of this, forward output

pulses (tW(FWD)) are always given in calibration, independent of

the true target rotation direction.

NOTE: For proper functionality, the output must be programmed

such that the signature region is a non-switching feature (see

Application Information section).

The sensor IC can be programmed such that the output will

provide forward pulses (tW(FWD)) when the target rotation is from

pin 1 to pin 3 (Option F) or from pin 3 to pin 1 (Option R). This

is illustrated in Figure 8, with the arrow on the target indicating

direction of rotation.

Figure 7: Magnetic Profile.

The magnetic profile reflects the features of the target, allowing

the sensor IC to present an accurate digital output.
