PRODUCTION DATA
The TMAG5170 can be set in continuous conversion mode when OPERATING_MODE is set to 010b. Figure 8-1 shows an example of continuous conversion where only X-axis is selected for conversion. The input magnetic field is processed in two steps. In the first step, the device spins the hall sensor elements and integrates the sampled data. In the second step, the ADC block converts the analog signal into digital bits and stores the signal in the corresponding result register. While the ADC starts processing the first magnetic sample, the spin block can start processing the second magnetic sample. In this mode, the maximum sampling rate is determined by the update interval, not by the conversion time.
