PRODUCTION DATA
For battery-powered applications where power is critical, the sensor can be duty-cycled using the EN pin. This will ensure the average current consumption remains low to meet the system level power targets. In duty-cycled applications, the start-up time must be very fast so the external ADC can sample the signal faster and shutdown the device quickly to minimize average power. With very fast start-up and power-off times, the TMAG5253 enables low average power consumption for the system.
Figure 9-3 shows the typical application diagram when the EN pin is controlled by the microcontroller. Figure 9-4 shows the waveforms for this application where the EN pin is duty-cycled. The sampling time of the ADC should be scheduled after the output settles down to the required resolution. Notice that the output line is pulled down by the external resistor when EN is driven low. Also, if the input magnetic field is changed when the part is in shutdown, the device provides the new output corresponding to the field after the device enters active state.
Table 9-3 shows the estimated average current consumption for the TMAG5253 versus the sleep time, for VCC = 1.8 V and the EN pin is tied high for 50 µs.
