Sensor Design Procedure

The following procedure should be followed for determining the sensor characteristics:

  1. Determine the diameter of coil (dcoil), which should be 3 times larger than the desired switching distance (dswitch)
  2. Determine the desired frequency (ƒSENSOR) which should be between 300 kHz and 19 MHz
  3. Calculate the range of allowable inductance from the following equation:
    Equation 7. GUID-D2575687-F67B-41F7-A905-490F66F55E2B-low.gif

    where:

    • LSENSOR is the inductance of the LSENSE coil or LREF coil
    • ISENSOR_MAX is given in the electrical table
  4. Calculate the externally placed sensor capacitor:
Equation 8. GUID-6790BF63-E00A-491A-9C0D-D19FE296239E-low.gif

where:

  • CBOARD is the parasitic capacitance introduced by the board layout (~4 pF for good layout)
  • CIN_COM is the parasitic pin capacitance of LCOM specified as 12 pF in the electrical table
