Dynamic, Self-Calibrating, Threshold-Detecting, Differential
Speed and Direction Hall-Effect Gear Tooth Sensor IC
Operation During Running Mode Vibration
During normal running mode, vibration can interfere with the
direction detection functions. In that case, during the vibration the
device may continue to output speed data with non-directional
pulses.
If the vibration that occurs has a large enough amplitude such
that the peaks of the VPROC signals continue to pass through both
switchpoints, non-direction pulses will be outputted during the
vibration, as shown in figure 5.
If the vibration has a low enough amplitude such that its posi-
tive peak is less than VPROC(BOP) , no pulses are outputted and
no switchpoint updating occurs until the vibration becomes large
enough that VPROC exceeds VPROC(BOP) . If its negative peak is
greater than VPROC(BRP), then there is no output or update until
VPROC falls below VPROC(BRP) . As shown in figure 6, when that
does occur, a single direction pulse may be outputted, however,
regardless of whether or not that single pulse occurs, non-direction
pulses are outputted throughout the remainder of the vibration.
