Two-Wire, Differential, Vibration-Resistant Sensor IC with Speed and Direction Output

A1699

Allegro 2-Pin SIP UB Package

Description

Top Features

Packaging

The A1699 is an optimized Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) that provides a user-friendly solution for direction detection and true zero-speed, digital ring-magnet sensing. The small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a wide variety of target sensing applications.

The IC employs patented algorithms for the special operational requirements of automotive transmission applications. The speed and direction of the target are communicated through a variable pulse-width output protocol. The A1699 is particularly adept at handling vibration without sacrificing maximum air gap capability or creating any erroneous direction information. The advanced vibration detection algorithm will systematically calibrate the sensor IC on the initial magnetic poles of true target rotation and not on vibration, always guaranteeing an accurate signal in running mode.

Advanced signal processing and innovative algorithms make the A1699 an ideal solution for a wide range of speed- and direction-sensing needs.

The A1699 is provided in a 2-pin miniature SIP package suffix UB) that is lead (Pb) free, with tin leadframe plating. The UB package includes an IC and capacitor integrated into a single overmolded package to reduce external EMI protection requirements.
