Signal timing accuracy. The magnetic field profile

width is defined by the sensor element spacing and nar-

rows in degrees as the target diameter increases. This

results in improved timing accuracy performance for larger

gear diameters (for the same number of gear teeth).

Valley-to-tooth transistions will generally provide better

accuracy than tooth-to-valley transitions for large-tooth or

large-valley configurations. For highest accuracy, targets

greater than 100mm in diameter should be used.

Signal duty cycle. For repetitive target structures,

precise duty cycle is maintained over the operating air gap

and temperature range due to an extremely good symmetry

in the magnetic switch points and the internal self calibra-

tion of the device. For irregular tooth geometries, there

will be a small but measureable change in pulse width

versus air gap.

Additional applications Information on gear-tooth

and other Hall-effect sensors is also available in the “Hall-

Effect IC Applications Guide”, which can be found in the

latest issue of the Allegro MicroSystems Electronic Data

Book, AMS-702 or Application Note 27701, or at
