DATA SHEET
Step 1: Input of the registers which need not be
adjusted individually
Software Calibration:
Use the menu CALIBRATE from the PC software and
enter the values 95% for DC1 and 5% for DC2. Set the
system to calibration point 1 (angle 1 = −25°), press
the key “Read ADC-Readout1”, set the system to cali-
bration point 2 (angle 2 = 25°), press the key
“Read ADC-Readout2”, and hit the button “Calculate”.
The software will then calculate the appropriate DCOQ
and DCSensitivity.
The register values for the following registers are given
for all applications:
– FILTER
Select the filter frequency: 500 Hz
– RANGE
Select the magnetic field range: 30 mT
– TC
This calculation has to be done individually for each
sensor. Now, write the calculated values with the “write
and store” command into the HAL810 for program-
ming the sensor.
For this magnetic material: 6
– TCSQ
For this magnetic material: 14
– Min-Duty
For our example: 5%
Step 3: Locking the Sensor
– Max-Duty
The last step is to activate the lock function with the
“lock” command. Please note that the LOCK function
becomes effective after power-down and power-up of
the Hall IC. The sensor is now locked and does not
respond to any programming or reading commands.
For our example: 95%
Enter these values in the software, and use the “write
and store” command for permanently writing the val-
ues in the registers.
Warning: This register cannot be reset!
Step 2: Calculation of DCOQ and DCSensitivity
There are two ways to calculate the values for DCOQ
and DCSensitivity.
Manual Calculation:
Set the system to calibration point 1 (angle 1 = −25°)
and read the register ADC-READOUT. For our exam-
ple, the result is ADC-Readout1 = −2500.
Next, set the system to calibration point 2
(angle 2 = 25°), and read the register ADC-READOUT
again.
For
our
example,
the
result
is
ADC-Readout2 = +2350.
With these measurements and the targets DC1 = 95%
and DC2 = 5%, the values for DCSensitivity and DCOQ
are calculated as follows
5% − 95%
2048
DCSensitivity =
= −0.3800
*
2350 + 2500
100%
−2500*(−0.3800)*100%
DC
= 95% −
= 48.61%
