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 proximity 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 periodically updated to remain the percentage, within a predetermined tolerance, of the peak-to-peak voltage of Vsig in response to changes that may occur in the peak voltages of Vsig. In one embodiment, the threshold voltage is at a first level corresponding to a first percentage of the peak-to-peak voltage of Vsig when Vsig exceeds the threshold voltage and is at a second level corresponding to a second percentage of the peak-to-peak voltage of Vsig when Vsig is less than the threshold voltage.

摘要： A magnetic-field-to-voltage transducer includes a Hall element and a digitally gain-controlled Hall-voltage amplifier that produces an analog voltage Vsig having excursions of one polarity corresponding to the passing of magnetic articles. Vsig is applied to the input of a signal-manipulating circuit that generates a proximity- detector binary output voltage, Vout, having transitions of one direction each time a predetermined point is reached in Vsig. A digitally gain-controlled gain amplifier is connected to the Hall element. A comparator circuit generates a binary signal Vbig (or V.sub.toobig) that changes from one to another binary level each time that Vsig exceeds a DC target voltage, V.sub.TG. The AGC circuit senses and counts gain counter excursions of one polarity in Vsig, and produces a binary count output signal at the input of the gain amplifier at each of the counted excursions in Vsig, incrementally changing the transducer gain in the direction to bring the peaks in Vsig to just below the target value T.sub.TG. This AGC feature prevents saturating the amplifier and quickly renders a Vsig of essentially constant amplitude so that either the peak excursion values or predetermined threshold levels in Vsig, at which transitions in the proximity detector output voltage Vout are caused to occur, provide greater accuracy and stability in the correlation between detection-approach and -withdrawal distances and transitions in Vout.

摘要： A magnetic-field-to-voltage transducer includes a Hall element and a digitally gain-controlled Hall-voltage amplifier that produces an analog voltage Vsig having excursions of one polarity corresponding to the passing of magnetic articles. Vsig is applied to the input of a peak-referenced-threshold signal detector that generates a binary proximity-detector output voltage, Vout, having transitions of one direction upon approaches of gear teeth down to zero speed. A digitally gain-controlled amplifier is connected to the Hall element. A comparator circuit generates a binary signal Vbig (or Vtoobig) that changes from one to another binary level each time that Vsig exceeds a DC target voltage, VTG. The AGC circuit incrementally changes the transducer gain in the direction to bring the peaks in Vsig to just below the target value TTG. Reference voltages VP2 and VN2 are generated that are equal respectively to the most recent peak positive and negative going excursion in Vsig. DC off-set-limit voltages VA and VB are provided that are respectively above and below the center of the dynamic voltage range of the detector, and the entire signal Vsig at the output of the amplifier is biased in a negative direction when the median value, Vos, of Vsig is greater than VA and moving the entire signal Vsig in a less positive direction when Vos is less than VB to keep Vos within the range from VB to VA.

摘要： A Hall transducer produces a signal Vsig. Threshold voltages V.sub.Pth and V.sub.Nth are generated at the beginning, t.sub.update, of each of a succession of update time intervals, of 64 pulses in Vsig, to be fixed percentages respectively of the peak to peak voltage in Vsig. A proximity-detector binary output voltage is high when Vsig exceeds threshold voltage V.sub.Pth and low when Vsig is below threshold voltage V.sub.Nth. Signals V.sub.Pold and V.sub.Nold, generated by first and second DACs, are equal to the first positive and negative peaks in Vsig after each time t.sub.update initiating the start of a successive interval. Signals V.sub.Pnew and V.sub.Nnew, simultaneously generated by third and fourth DACs, are equal to the greatest positive and negative peak voltages in Vsig during the interval ending at t.sub.update. Counters present their count to the first and second DACs that count pulses from a clock for tracking and holding +/- peaks in Vsig. After each time t.sub.update, a pulse in a signal Vupdt is generated if at time t.sub.update V.sub.Nnew lies outside the range. V.sub.Nold -v to V.sub.Nold +v of if V.sub.Nnew lies outside the range V.sub.Nold -v to V.sub.Nold +v, where v is an incremental DC bias voltage. Vupdt resets the counters so that during the succeeding update time interval the threshold voltages V.sub.Pth and V.sub.Nth have the fixed percentages of the updated threshold voltages V.sub.Pnew -V.sub.Nnew.

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.

摘要： A magnetic-field-to-voltage transducer includes a Hall element and a digitally gain-controlled Hall-voltage amplifier that produces an analog signal voltage Vsig having excursions of one polarity corresponding to the passing of magnetic articles. The gain of an AGC Vsig amplifier is only decreased in small sequential gain increments during an initial interval defined as that in which two excursions in Vsig have occurred, and the gain remains unchanged thereafter. Vsig is applied to the input of a peak-referenced-threshold signal detector that generates a binary output voltage, Vout, having transitions of one direction and the other direction corresponding respectively to the approach and retreat of the passing articles. The peak-referenced-threshold signal detector includes a dual-threshold-voltage comparator which is set to a large threshold at start-up. When just after start-up an excursion in the signal Vsig at the output of the amplifier exceeds a predetermined reference voltage, a small threshold obtains. Such an automatic threshold adjustment is made only in a brief initial period following start-up and not again until the proximity detector has been powered down and then started up again. This automatic dual-mode threshold feature prevents false detection due to "overshoots" that may be present in the transducer signal when the air gap is small, and leads to accurate detection over a wide range of air gaps between the transducer and the passing magnetic articles.
