PRODUCTION DATA
The TMAG5170-Q1 offers on-chip CORDIC to measure angle data from any of the two magnetic axes. The linear magnetic axis data can be used to calculate the angle using an external CORDIC as well. To calculate the expected error during angular measurement, the contributions from each individual error source must be understood. The relevant error sources include sensitivity error, offset, noise, axis-axis mismatch, nonlinearity, drift across temperature, drift across life time, and so forth. Use the Angle Error Calculation Tool to estimate the total error during angular measurement.
Table 8-2 offers an example angular error estimate for X-Y plane with magnetic field range of ±100mT, peak X, Y field of ±80mT, and CONV_AVG =101b. The angle error can be improved by calibrating at room and high temperature, using multi-pole magnet, implementing linearization scheme in the controller, and so forth.
Angle Error Calculation using Max Magnetic Specification | Expected Angle Error After Offset and Gain Calibrations | |
---|---|---|
Angle error for 360° rotation at 25°C | 1.5° | ~0.5° |
Angle error for 360° rotation across temperature | 2.1° | ~1.0° |
