Functional Description

1.6

Rotational Direction

The direction signal is digitized by an analog to digital converter (direction ADC) and fed into the digital core.

Depending upon the rotation direction of the target wheel, the signal of the center probe anticipates or lags

behind for 90°. This phase relationship is evaluated and converted into rotation direction information by

sampling the signal of the center probe in the proximity of the zero crossing of the “speed” bridge signal.

The first pulse after power (power on pulse) has a different length to signalize that there is no direction

information available .

Vibration Suppression

The magnetic signal amplitude and the direction information are used for detection of parasitic magnetic

signals. Unwanted magnetic signal can be caused by angular or air gap vibrations. If an input signal is

identified as a vibration the output pulse will be suppressed.
