ATS19420: High-Accuracy Hall-Effect Transmission Speed Gear Tooth Sensor IC

The ATS19420 is an advanced Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) that uses a fully integrated back-biased magnet to measure the speed of rotating ferrous targets. The package features an integrated capacitor for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The ATS19420 SolidSpeed Digital Architecture™ offers intelligent algorithms capable of stable operation during sudden and dynamic air gap movements. The sophisticated digital controller provides highly accurate speed detection ideal for transmission applications. In addition, the ATS19420 differential sensing offers inherent rejection of interfering common-mode magnetic fields.

The ATS19420 was developed in accordance with ISO 26262:2011 as a hardware safety element out of context with ASIL B capability (pending assessment) for use in automotive safety-related systems when integrated and used in the manner prescribed in the applicable safety manual and datasheet.

The ATS19420 is provided in a 3-pin SIP package (suffix SN) that is lead (Pb) free, with tin leadframe plating. The SN package includes an IC, magnet, and capacitor integrated into a single overmolded package, with an additional molded lead-stabilizing bar for robust shipping and ease of assembly.
