The ATS665 true zero-speed gear tooth sensor is an optimized
Hall IC/magnet configuration packaged in a molded module that
provides a user-friendly solution for digital gear tooth sensing
applications. The sensor 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 small package can be easily assembled and
used in conjunction with gears of various shapes and sizes.
The sensor incorporates a dual element Hall IC that switches in
response to differential magnetic signals created by a ferrous
target. The IC contains a sophisticated compensating circuit
designed to reduce 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 operating conditions found in
automotive applications (reduced vibration sensitivity). Highresolution 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.
This sensor’s ability to provide tight duty cycle at high speeds
and over a wide temperature range makes it ideal for transmission
and industrial speed applications. The ATS665 is available in the
SG package in the automotive temperature range, -40° to 150° (L).

The ATS665 true zero speed gear tooth sensor is a Hall IC/magnet configuration that is fully optimized to provide digital
detection of gear tooth edges. This sensor is integrally molded into a plastic body that has been optimized for size, ease of
assembly, and manufacturability. High operating temperature materials are used in all aspects of construction.
Sensing Technology:
The gear tooth sensor sub-assembly contains a single-chip differential Hall effect sensor IC, a Samarium Cobalt magnet,
and a flat ferrous pole piece. The Hall IC consists of two Hall elements spaced 2.2 mm apart which measure the magnetic
gradient created by the passing of a ferrous object. The gradient is converted to an analog voltage that is then processed
to provide a digital output signal.
After proper power is applied to the component the sensor is then capable of providing digital information that is
representative of the profile of a rotating gear. No additional optimization is needed and minimal processing circuitry is
required. This ease of use should reduce design time and incremental assembly costs for most applications. The following
output diagram is indicative of the sensor performance for the polarity indicated in the figure at the bottom of the page.

Output Polarity:
The output of the sensor will switch from LOW to HIGH as the leading edge of the tooth passes the sensor face in the
direction indicated in the figure below. In this system configuration, the output voltage will be high when the sensor is facing
a tooth. If rotation occurs in the opposite direction, the output polarity will invert.
High over Tooth
Power-On State Operation:
The device is guaranteed to power up in the OFF state (logic high output).
Since the sensor powers up in the OFF state (logic high output), the first edge seen by the sensor can be missed if the
switching induced by that edge reinforces the OFF state. Therefore, the first edge that can be guaranteed to induce an
output transition is the second detected edge. This device has accurate first electrical falling edge detection. The tables
below show various start-up schemes.
