HALL EFFECT GEAR-TOOTH SENSORS–ZERO SPEED

The A3046EU/LU, A3056EU/LU, and A3058EU/LU Hall effect gear-tooth sensors are monolithic integrated circuits that switch in response to differential magnetic fields created by ferrous targets. These devices are ideal for use in gear-tooth-based speed, position, and timing applications and operate down to zero rpm over a wide range of air gaps and temperatures. When combined with a back biasing magnet and proper assembly techniques, devices can be configured to give 50% duty cycle or to switch on either leading, trailing, or both edges of a passing gear tooth or slot.
