The A1667 is a true zero-speed ring magnet sensor integrated
circuit (IC) consisting of an optimized Hall IC available in
two package options that provides a user-friendly solution for
digital ring magnet sensing applications.
▪ꢀTrueꢀzero-speedꢀoperation
The sensor incorporates a dual element Hall IC that switches
in response to differential magnetic signals created by a
ring magnet. The IC contains a sophisticated compensating
circuit designed to eliminate the detrimental effects of magnet
and system offsets. Digital processing of the analog signal
provides zero-speed performance independent of air gap and
also dynamic adaptation of device performance to the typical
operatingconditionsfoundinautomotiveapplications(reduced
vibration sensitivity). High-resolution peak detecting DACs
are used to set the adaptive switching thresholds of the device.
Hysteresis in the thresholds reduces the negative effects of any
anomalies in the magnetic signal associated with the targets
used in many automotive applications.
