The ASIC interfaces with 3 half-bridge TMR (Tunnel Magneto Resistance) sensors to monitor the speed of a rotating magnetized subject, commonly used in automotive safety critical applications like ABS (see picture), electronic parking breaks or hill-hold control.

The design supports True 0-Hz (standstill) functionality upto 20kHz. Automotive compliance is guaranteed through careful EMC/ESD aware design and compliance to ISO pulses. Through an OWI (One-Wire-Interface), this ASIC can be programmed and diagnosed in the field. Low noise, high-gain amplifiers are integrated to support a wide gain range from 1.5V/V to 192V/V.

This mixed-signal ASIC includes on-chip DSP sequencer to distinguish between rotation/vibration while compensating offset and tracking the gain.
