7.5.1.3 Magnetic Sensor Offset Correction

Figure 7-7 shows that the TMAG5170-Q1 can enable offset correction for a pair of magnetic axes. The magnetic axes and order are selected based off the ANGLE_EN register bit settings. The MAG_OFFSET_CONFIG register stores the offset values to be corrected in 2's complement data format. The selection and order of the sensors are defined in the ANGLE_EN register bits setting. The default value of these offset correction registers are set as zero.

Figure 7-7 Magnetic Sensor Data Offset Correction

Use Equation 5 and Equation 6 to calculate the amount of offset for each axis. As an example, with a ±50mT magnetic range for X and Z axes, MAG_OFFSET_CONFIG set at 1110 0000 0011 0000b, ANGLE_EN set at 11b. With these conditions the offset correction for the X axis is −1.56mT and Z axis is 1.17mT. The offset values are added to the sensor conversion results before loading into the corresponding result registers.

Equation 5.   Δ O f f s e t _ V a l u e 1   = - ( D 13 × 2 6 ) + ∑ i = 0 5 D i + 7 × 2 i 2 12 × 2 B R
Equation 6. ∆ O f f s e t V a l u e 2   =   - ( D 6   ×   2 6 ) + ∑ i = 0 5 D i ×   2 i 2 12 × 2 B R

where

  • ΔOffset_Value1 is the amount of offset correction (in mT) to be applied for first axis.
  • ΔOffset_Value2 is the amount of offset correction (in mT) to be applied for second axis.
  • Di is the data bit in the offset MAG_OFFSET_CONFIG register.
  • BR is the magnetic range in mT for the corresponding channel.
