8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

For accurate angle measurement, the two axes amplitudes must be normalized by selecting the proper gain adjustment value in the MAG_GAN_CONFIG register. The gain adjustment value is a fractional decimal number between 0 and 1. The following steps must be followed to calculate this fractional value:

  1. Set the device at 32x average mode and rotate the shaft a full 360 degree.
  2. Record the two axes sensor ADC codes for the full 360 degree rotation.
  3. Measure the maximum peak-peak ADC code delta for each axis, Ax and Ay, as shown in Figure 8-6 or Figure 8-7.
  4. Calculate the gain adjustment value for X axis:
    Equation 18. GUID-5B83ADAC-3B41-4EDF-B1FA-E22C6EB2B4D5-low.gif
  5. If GX>1, apply the gain adjustment value to Y axis:
    Equation 19. GUID-C6E6ACBA-AB8C-45EF-8C1D-87AB1EFF84C4-low.gif
  6. Calculate the target binary gain setting at the GAIN_VALUE register bits:
    Equation 20. GX or GY = GAIN_VALUEdecimal / 1024

Example 1: If AX = AY = 60,000, the GAIN_SELECTION resister bits can be set as 00b. The GAIN_VALUE register bits are don't care bits in this case.

Example 2: If AX= 60,000, AY = 45,000, the GX = 45,000/60,000 =0.75. Select 01b for the GAIN_SELECTION register bits.

Example 3: If AX= 45,000, AY = 60,000, the GX = (60,000/45,000) =1.33. Since GX >1, the gain adjustment needs to be applied to Y axis with GY =1/GX. Select 10b for the GAIN_SELECTION register bits.
