摘要： A circuit to detect a movement of an object includes a magnetic field sensing element for generating a magnetic field signal proportional to a magnetic field associated with the object and a motion detector to generate a motion signal indicative of the movement of the object. The motion detector includes a peak identifying circuit to provide a peak signal and a peak sample selection module that selects a sample associated with one or more prior cycles of a magnetic field signal to generate a selected peak signal. The motion detector further includes a threshold generator to generate a threshold signal as a function of the selected peak signal and a comparator to compare the threshold signal with the magnetic field signal to generate the motion signal. Peak samples from prior magnetic field signal cycles may be averaged for use to establish the threshold signal. A method associated with the circuit is also described.

摘要： A method for detection of passing magnetic articles which includes an initial step of sensing an ambient magnetic field and generating a voltage, Vsig, proportional to the magnetic field. A threshold voltage is generated as a percentage of the peak-to-peak voltage of Vsig. The method further includes the step of generating a detector output voltage that becomes one binary level when Vsig rises to exceed the threshold voltage and another binary level when Vsig falls to below the threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is updated to track the positive and negative peaks of the Vsig voltage and is further updated by a predetermined amount upon each transition of the Vout voltage.

摘要： A method of performing a self-test associated with a magnetic field sensor includes generating a proximity signal responsive to a proximity of a sensed object with one or more magnetic field sensing elements, and identifying one or more characteristic values associated with the proximity signal while the proximity signal is responding to the proximity signal, The method also includes categorizing the one or more characteristic values into three or more potential categories, including three or more categories, wherein the plurality of potential categories is representative of a plurality of discrete self-test states of the proximity signal that could occur while the proximity signal is responding to the proximity of the sensed object. The method also includes communicating at least one of the plurality of potential categories into which at least one of the one or more characteristic values was categorized. A magnetic field senor implements the above method.

摘要： A proximity detector includes an offset circuit for bringing at least one of a magnetic field signal and a tracking signal towards the other one of the magnetic field signal and the tracking signal when the detector output signal changes state. A magnetic field-to-voltage transducer provides the magnetic field signal indicative of an ambient magnetic field and a peak detector responsive to the magnetic field signal provides the tracking signal which substantially follows the magnetic field signal. A comparator generates the detector output signal which changes state when the magnetic field signal varies from the tracking signal by a predetermined amount.
