PRODUCTION DATA
The TMAG5170D-Q1 offers independent configurations to perform linear position measurements in X, Y, and Z axes. To calculate the expected error during linear measurement, the contributions from each of the individual error sources must be understood. The relevant error sources include sensitivity error, offset, noise, cross axis sensitivity, hysteresis, nonlinearity, drift across temperature, drift across life time, and so forth. For a 3-axis Hall solution like the TMAG5170D-Q1, the cross-axis sensitivity and hysteresis error sources are insignificant. Use Equation 8 to estimate the linear measurement error calculation at room temperature.
where
In many applications, system level calibration at room temperature can nullify the offset and sensitivity errors at 25°C. The noise errors can be reduced by further digital averaging the sensor data in a microcontroller. Use Equation 9 to estimate the linear measurement error across temperature after calibration at room temperature.
where
If room temperature calibration is not performed, sensitivity and offset errors at room temperature must also account for total error calculation across temperature (see Equation 10).
