Functional Description
The differential Hall Effect IC detects the motion of ferromagnetic or permanent magnet
structures by measuring the differential flux density of the magnetic field. To detect the
motion of ferromagnetic objects the magnetic field must be provided by a backbiasing
permanent magnet. Either the South or North pole of the magnet can be attached to the
rear, unmarked side (remark: rear side may contain data matrix code) of the IC package.
Magnetic offsets of up to ± 20 mT and mechanical offsets are cancelled out through a
self-calibration algorithm. Only 2 transitions are necessary for the self-calibration
procedure. After the initial self-calibration sequence switching occurs when the input
signal crosses the adaptive threshold on the rising magnetic edge.
The ON and OFF state of the IC are indicated by High and Low current consumption.
Each rising magnetic edge of the magnetic input signal triggers an output pulse.
Figure 3 Output Pulses on magnetic rising edge
In addition to the speed signal, the following information is provided by varying the length
of the output pulses (PWM modulation):
Speed signal = S
The speed signal is issued at the first output pulse after start up and when the magnetic
frequency is above 1kHz.
Direction of rotation left = DR-L
DR-L information is issued in the output pulse length when the active target wheel in front
of the Hall Effect IC moves from the pin VCC to the pin GND.
Direction of rotation right = DR-R
DR-R information is issued in the output pulse length when the active target wheel in
front of the Hall Effect IC moves from the pin GND to the pin VCC.

Circuit Description
The circuit internally is supplied by a voltage regulator. A 2 MHz on-chip oscillator serves
as a clock generator for the DSP and the output encoder.
Speed signal circuitry
TLE4953 speed signal path comprises a pair of Hall Effect probes, separated from each
other by 2.5 mm, a differential amplifier including noise limiting low-pass filter, and a
comparator triggering a switched current output stage. An offset cancellation feedback
loop is provided through a signal-tracking A/D converter, a digital signal processor
(DSP), and an offset cancellation D/A converter.
Uncalibrated Mode
Occasionally a short initial offset settling time td,input might delay the detection of the input
signal. (The sensor is "blind"). During the startup phase (un-calibrated mode) the output
is disabled (I = ILow). The magnetic input signal is tracked by the speed ADC and
monitored within the digital circuit. For detection the signal needs to exceed a threshold
(digital noise constant d1). When the signal slope is identified as a rising edge, a trigger
pulse is issued to a comparator. A second trigger pulse is issued as soon as the next
rising edge is detected.
Between the start-up of the magnetic input signal and the time when its second extreme
is reached, the PGA (programmable gain amplifier) will switch to its appropriate position.
This value is determined by the signal amplitude and initial offset value. The digital noise
constant value is changing accordingly (d1 d2, related to the corresponding PGA

states), leading to a change in phase shift between magnetic input signal and output
signal. After that consecutive output edges should have a nominal delay of about 360°.
During the uncalibrated mode the offset value is calculated by the peak detection
algorithm as described below.
The differential input signal is digitized in the speed A/D converter and fed into the DSP
part of the circuit. The minimum and maximum values of the input signal are extracted
and their corresponding arithmetic mean value is calculated. The offset of this mean
value is determined and fed into the offset cancellation DAC.
The offset update takes place when two valid extremes are found and the direction of the
update has the same orientation as the magnetic slope (valid for calibrated mode). For
example an positive offset update is only possible on a rising magnetic edge. The offset
update is done independant from the output switching.
After successful correction of the offset, the output switching is in calibrated mode.
Switching occurs at adaptive threshold-crossover. It is only affected by the propagation
delay time of the signal path, which is mainly determined by the noise limiting filter.
Signals which are below a predefined threshold BLimit are not detected. This prevents
unwanted switching.
The adaptive hysteresis is linked to the PGA state. Therefore the system is able to
suppress switching if vibration or noise signals are smaller than the adaptive hysteresis.
The switching and direction information is fed into the DSP and the output encoder. The
pulse length of the High output current is generated according to the rotational speed
and the direction of rotation.
Direction signal circuitry
The differential signal between a third Hall probe and the mean value of the differential
Hall probe pair is obtained from the direction input amplifier. This signal is digitized by
the direction ADC and fed into the digital circuitry. There, the phase of the signal referring
to the speed signal is analyzed and the direction information is forwarded to the output
encoder. The phase is identified by calculating the size of the direction signal at two
consecutive zero crossings of the speed signal. This is done by subtracting the current
direction signal from the internal stored value which has been taken from the previous
magnetic edge.
Depending on the phase shift between the direction signal and the speed signal a
positive or a negative value occur. The information if the new direction calculation takes
place at a rising or a falling magnetic edge allows together with the algebraic sign of the
calculated direction signal a reliable direction detection.
The first pulse after power is always a speed pulse as there is no stored direction
information available.

Vibration suppression algorithm:
The magnetic signal amplitude and the direction information is used for detection of
parasitic magnetic signals. Unwanted magnetic signals can be caused by angular or
airgap vibrations for instance. If an input signal is clearly detected as a vibration signal,
the output of pulses will be suppressed.
A magnetic input signal is classified as parasitic vibration signal if
a. the speed signal amplitude is smaller than the internal hysteresis or
b. the direction signal amplitude is smaller than the internal limit or
c. the direction signal consists of alternating left/right information
The quality of vibration suppression (according a & b) depends on the hysteresis limits
and on the magnitude of the magnetic signal. The bigger the hysteresis the better the
suppression of parasitc signals.
For parasitic signals where items above (a. to c.) are not clearly applicable or at other
more rare cases (e.g. IC startup) vibration suppression is not guaranteed. The
performance of the direction detection and vibration suppression algorithm depends on
the used magnetic circuit and as well on the used target wheel and need to be evaluated.
Please ask for application support if you have questions on the vibration suppresion algorithm.

If the magnetic direction field exceeds BDir, the output pulse lengths are 60 µs or 120 µs
respectively, depending on the direction of rotation.
If the magnitude of the magnetic direction field is below Bdir, the output pulses are
suppressed when the frequency is below fDR,max (see section vibration suppression). For
magnitudes of the magnetic differential field below BLimit the signal is lost.
Speed pulse occur only at the first pulse after start up or above fDR, max.
If no magnetic differential signal change is detected the IC will remain in calibrated mode.
No internal reset are generated - therefore a zero speed operation is possible.
