ABSTRACT:
A geartooth sensor is provided with a circuit which determined a threshold magnitude as a function of the minimum value of a first output signal from a magnetically sensitive component and an average output signal from a magnetic sensitive component. Circuitry is provided to determine the average signal. The minimum signal is then subtracted from the average signal and the resulting signal is doubled before being scaled by a predetermined fraction and then compared to the original output signal from the magnetically sensitive component. This circuit therefore determines a threshold signal as a function of both the minimum signal value and the average signal value and, in addition, enables the resulting signal to be scaled to a predetermined percentage of this difference for the purpose of selecting a threshold value that is most particularly suitable for a given application.
