2.3.2. Example: Calibration of an Angle Sensor
Step 1: Input of the registers which need not be
adjusted individually
The following description explains the calibration pro-
cedure using an angle sensor with a HAL856 as an
example. The required output characteristic is shown
in Fig. 2–6.
The register values for the following registers are given
for all applications:
– FILTER
– the angle range is from −25° to 25°
Select the filter frequency: 500 Hz
– temperature coefficient of the magnet: −500 ppm/K
– RANGE
Select the magnetic field range: 40 mT
– TC
For this magnetic material: 6
– TCSQ

– OUTPUT CHARACTERISTIC
Select output characteristic: ’Linear Standard’
Step 3: Define Calibration Points
The Micronas software PC856 uses default settings
DOUT1NOM = 0 and DOUT2NOM = 3968.
DOUT1NOM corresponds to the angle position −25°,
DOUT2NOM to +25°.
