8.1.3.3 Pseudo-Simultaneous Sampling

In absolute angle measurement, application sensor data from multiple axes are required to calculate an accurate angle. The magnetic field data collected at different times through the same signal chain introduces error in angle calculation. The TMAG5173-Q1 offers pseudo-simultaneous sampling data collection modes to eliminate this error. Figure 8-3 shows an example where MAG_CH_EN is set at 1011b to collect XZX data. Equation 18 shows that the time stamps for the X and Z sensor data are the same.

Equation 18. TMAG5173-Q1

where

  • tX1, tZ, tX2 are time stamps for X, Z, X sensor data completion as defined in Figure 8-3.

The vertical X, Y sensors of the TMAG5173-Q1 exhibit more noise than the horizontal Z sensor. The pseudo-simultaneous sampling can be used to equalize the noise floor when two set of vertical sensor data are collected against one set of horizontal sensor data, as in examples of XZX or YZY modes.
