What is the working principle of the Magnetic Speed Sensor TLE4922?
TLE4922 is a basic type of sensor.
The supply is supposed to be nominal between 5V and 15V. Out of this supply voltage, three voltage regulators are generating the supply voltage of the sensing element (Hall supply), of the analog domain (Analog supply) and the digital domain (Digital supply).
Figure 31 in the User Manual has the block diagram.
At the chopped Hall Probe, the magnetic field Bz is already converted from magnetic field into an electrical voltage. The technical principle of chopping cuts off the random offset of the Hall probe itself. Typically every Hall probe has some random magnetic offset moving over temperature and mechanical stress. TLE4922 compensates the magnetic offset by spinning the supply-voltage of the Hall probe to all 4 directions and calculating the average.
In the functional block “Tracking ADC” the electrical voltage of the Hall probe is converted into a digital number. Converting into a digital domain has the advantage of easy implementation and simulation of algorithms.
For further information, please refer to the User Manual which can also be found under Documents using this link.
