Self Calibrating TPOS Gear Tooth Sensor with
9Bit Signal Capture
The ATS671LSE true zero speed gear tooth sensors are
optimized Hall IC/magnet configurations packaged in a Single In
Line Package (SIP) that provides a user-friendly solution for digital
gear tooth sensing applications. The SIP module consists of an
over-molded package, which holds together a samarium cobalt
magnet, a pole piece and a true zero-speed Hall IC that has been
optimized to the magnetic circuit. This package can be easily
assembled and used in conjunction with gears of various shapes
and sizes.
The sensor incorporates a single element Hall IC that switches
in response to the magnetic signal created by a ferrous target. The
IC contains a sophisticated digital circuit designed to eliminate the
detrimental effects of magnet and system offsets. Signal processing
is used to provide zero speed performance independent of air gap
and also to dynamically adapt device performance to the typical
operating conditions found in automotive applications (reduced
vibration sensitivity). High-resolution (9-bit) 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 (such as magnetic overshoot)
associated with the targets used in many automotive applications.
The ATS671LSE also includes a low bandwidth filter that increases
the noise immunity and the signal to noise ratio of the sensor.
These features result in potential improvements in both the timing
accuracy and the jitter performance of the device.
The ATS671LSE-LT sensor system is optimized for cam
applications and is available with or without the TPOS function

Relative Timing Accuracy Range is the change in edge position over the operational air gap and temperature range.
The TPOS Air Gap Min is the Installation Air Gap where the device may detect Valleys as Teeth. The True Power On
Function is
NOT
guaranteed to operate.
3
The TPOS Air Gap Range is the Installation Air Gap Range where the True Power On Function is guaranteed to
operate. Operating is defined as correctly detecting a tooth when powered up over a tooth and correctly detecting a valley
when powered up over a valley using the Reference Target. This specification is only valid for targets that meet or
exceed the ‘Gear Parameters for Correct TPOS Operation’ section of this document.
4
The TPOS Air Gap Max is the Installation Air Gap where the device may detect a Tooth as a Valley. The True Power On
Function is
NOT
guaranteed to operate.
