Pressure Sensor Interface IC
The AK8996 is a pressure sensor interface IC that features compensation for temperature drift and sensor
variation. It is designed to excite and interface to a bridge sensor. Variations in the sensor can be
corrected via compensation values stored in integrated non-volatile memory (EEPROM). Compensation
values are obtained from measurement results for a set of offset voltages and temperature drift, along with
a set of bridge voltages and temperature drift, including characteristics of the AK8996. The AK8996 is
available in either a 16-pin QFN package or in wafer form.

Overview
The AK8996 is a pressure sensor interface IC that features compensation for temperature drift and sensor
variation. It is designed to excite and interface to a bridge sensor. Variations in the sensor can be
corrected via compensation values stored in integrated non-volatile memory (EEPROM). Compensation
values are obtained from measurement results for a set of offset voltages and temperature drift, along with
a set of bridge voltages and temperature drift, including characteristics of the AK8996.
The internal compensation circuit is accomplished through DACs, with 4-bit and 7-bit resolution to adjust
offset voltage of the sensor, and the secondary characteristics compensator for the associated
temperature drift, coupled with 9-bit resolution to adjust the span voltage and another secondary
characteristics compensator for its associated temperature drift. Depending on the application, the internal
EEPROM values can be pre-configured to enable adjustment of the reference sensitivity and the output
reference voltage. For the adjustment procedure, see the sections on "Adjustment Sequence" and
"Functional Description".
Depending on the application, the AK8996’s internal EEPROM values can be preconfigured to enable
adjustment of the reference sensitivities and output reference voltages. Sampling frequencies can be
switched between 100Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz and 10.24kHz using the internal EEPROM data.
The AK8996 is provided with a pressure detection circuit. If the applied pressure exceeds the defined
voltage threshold at the PTH terminal, a high-level signal is output on the DET pin. The threshold can be
adjusted by the internal EEPROM data. The AK8996 is also provided with a self-diagnostic function. Upon
power-up or at initial operation immediately after exiting standby mode, this self-test feature checks for the
required value at the output (VOUT pin), and if an expected value is not available, the output is assumed to
be anomalous and a high-level signal is output on the DET pin, in the same manner as with the pressure
detection.

Description of Blocks
Gain Amplifier Block, LPF & S/H1 & Level Shifter, S/H2 & Buffer
The set of these blocks amplifies, compensates and outputs the pressure sensor level with a
normal gain ratio of 50:1. This set of blocks intermittently amplifies, compensates, samples and
holds the pressure sensor output. The output stage, with an internal resistor of 32kΩ, is band-limited
with a combination of external capacitors, providing a low impedance output through a buffer. A
percentage designator is used, benchmarked with 4000mVdc output at 100%, reflecting the 50x increase
in differential input from 80mVdc.

Note) If the output reference voltage is half of VDD, pressure threshold adjustment
is unnecessary. Even if the compensation coefficient +/- is not used,
pressure threshold adjustment is required if the output reference voltage is
set to a value other than half of VDD.

Sample-and-hold circuit.
A 32kΩ resistor is connected to the output stage. The combination with an external
capacitor creates the LPF characteristics.
Change the external capacitance value according to the desired signal band for
detection using the following equation:
fc=1/(2*π*32kΩ*C) (Hz)
If the application does not require a low-impedance output, the VO pin output can
be used as an alternative. In this case, set the EEPROM data to disable the buffer.
Disabling the buffer allows for lower power dissipation. However, since the VO pin
has a 32kΩ output impedance, connecting a resistive load will cause output
voltage inaccuracies. Note also that the gain retained in the buffer cannot be
achieved.
Buffer to produce a band-limited output with low impedance. Typically provides a
fourfold output (2x to 4x, in 0.5 steps).
Reprogramming the EEPROM allows the buffer to be disabled for low power
dissipation. (See S/H2.)
Generates timing sync signals for internal operation and sampling frequencies for
sensor output signals. Sampling frequencies can be selected from the EEPROM.
Sampling frequency (fs): 100Hz (default); 1 kHz; 2kHz; 10.24kHz
Constant voltage generator circuit to drive the sensor. The drive voltage can be
selected from the EEPROM depending on the supply voltage being used.
Drive voltage: 4.0V @VDD: 5V±10% (default); 2.0V @VDD: 2.2 to 3.6V
Pressure detection circuit and self-diagnosis circuit.
The pressure range can be selected depending on the EEPROM data for the pressure
detector.
•
Pressure above a certain value is detected (determined by threshold).
•
Pressure below a certain value is detected (determined by inverted threshold).
•
Pressure above or below a certain value is detected (determined both by a
threshold and an inverted threshold).
The DET pin goes high when the detected pressure exceeds the threshold. The
detection threshold value can be set by entering it via the PTH pin or using the EEPROM
data in the AK8996. Note that upon powering up and exiting standby (STBYN pin from
low to high) the precise pressure cannot be determined until the VOUT pin output settles,
depending on the setup and external capacitance value of the VO pin.
The self-diagnostic circuit ensures that the output (VOUT pin) produces a given value by
fixing the VP and VN pins at half of VDD upon power-up, or only at initial operation
immediately after exiting the standby mode. In the event of any anomalies, signals go
high at the DET pin. To reset the self-diagnostic circuit, set the STBYN low or recycle the
power. Bear in mind that the self-diagnostic circuit does not detect all of the failure
modes of the AK8996.

The internal power-up circuit causes it to start up within the settling time for stable

Upon power-up or exit from standby mode (low to high at the STBYN pin), this
circuit generates the settling time for stable analog operation using the internal
Power Up circuit. This circuit oversees the startup time for VREF or IREF and
disables the OSC to prevent improper operation. When the settling time for stable
analog operation expires, the OSC is enabled.

Functional Description
1) Adjustment Procedure Description (Example)
The adjustment procedure for the AK8996 follows (See "Adjustment Sequence.").
Note) When shipped in package form, the adjustments for the items 1-4 below have been completed. It is
necessary to read the data (items 1-4 below) from a chip first and after initializing the EEPROM,
rewrite the readout data. Note that depending on the required accuracy and implementation status,
there could be some cases where items 1-4 should be readjusted. The factory default adjustment is
with reference to 5V mode (EVD[0]=0).If 3V mode (EVD[0]=1) is used, readjustment is required.
The EEPROM register address is referred to as "address," while the control register (volatile memory)
address is referred to as "C address."
1. VREF Adjustment (completed when shipped in package form)
The reference voltage is adjusted to 1.0V. Adjusting the VREF voltage also means adjustment of the
sensor drive voltage (VS).
Configuring the adjustment mode 1 register (C address: 00h data AM[3:0]:1h) allows the VREF
voltage to be output at the DET pin (See recommended connection examples for components).
2. IREF Adjustment (completed when shipped in package form)
The reference current is adjusted to 20.0µA.
Configuring the adjustment mode 1 register (C address: 00h data AM[3:0]:2h) allows the IREF voltage
to be output at the DET pin (See recommended connection examples for components).
3. OSC Adjustment (completed when shipped in package form)
The intermittent operation control clock is adjusted to 1024kHz.
Configuring the adjustment mode 1 register (C address: 00h data AM[3:0]:3h) allows the OSC output
to be output at the DET pin (See recommended connection examples for components).
4. VTMP Adjustment (completed when shipped in package form)
Temperature sensor output (VTMP) voltage is adjusted to match the VREF voltage.
Configuring the adjustment mode 1 register (C address: 00h data AM[3:0]:4h) allows the VTMP
voltage to be output at the DET pin (See recommended connection examples for components).
Since a quadratic function generator is used to compensate for the sensor characteristics, the VTMP
output should be matched with the VREF voltage.
5. Offset Voltage Adjustment
The offset voltage for the pressure sensor is adjusted, including the AK8996 internal error.
The offset voltage is adjusted using the offset voltage rough adjustment register (Address: 00h data
EOC[10:7]) and offset voltage fine adjustment register (Address: 01h data EOC[6:0]).
Since the offset voltage temperature drift is to be compensated for afterwards, the complete
adjustment cannot be performed. Final readjustment is required including the level shift voltage error
(See Section 11).
MS1055-E-02
31
2011/12
[AK8996/W]
■ Offset Voltage Adjustment Example
EOC[10]: Offset voltage rough adjustment sign bit
If unadjusted output is more than 0.5*VDD, set EOC[10]=0.
If unadjusted output is less than 0.5*VDD, set EOC[10]=1.
EOC[9:7]: Offset voltage rough adjustment: Adjust in 300mV steps (@VDD: 5V).
When EOC[10] = 0, adjust within -150 to +150mV (0.5*VDD reference).
When EOC[10] = 1, adjust within -150 to +150mV (0.5*VDD reference).
EOC[6]: Offset voltage fine adjustment sign bit
If unadjusted output is more than 0.5*VDD, set EOC[6]=0.
If unadjusted output is less than 0.5*VDD, set EOC[6]=1.
EOC[5:0]: Offset voltage fine adjustment: Adjust in 5mV steps (@VDD: 5V). For example,
When EOC[6] = 0 and the rough adjustment result is -150mV, set 30 dec = 1E hex.
When EOC[6] = 1 and the rough adjustment result is +150mV, set 30 dec = 1E hex.
Fine-tune the offset to within ±2.5mV (@VDD: 5V).
6. Output Span Voltage Adjustment
The output span voltage for the connected pressure sensor is adjusted, including the AK8996 inherent
error.
The output span voltage is adjusted using the output span voltage adjustment register (Address: 02h
data ESC[8], address: 03h data ESC[7:0]).
Since the sensitivity temperature drift is to be compensated for afterwards, the complete adjustment
cannot be performed. Final readjustment is required, including the level shift voltage error (See
Section 12).
■ Output Span Voltage Adjustment Example
When the output is 2400mV (@VDD: 5V), set ESC[8:0] = 160 dec.
2400 [mV]*100/60 = 4000 [mV]
When the output is 5600mV (@VDD: 5V), set ESC[8:0] = -160 dec.
5600 [mV]*100/140 = 4000 [mV]
Fine-tune the above output span voltage error so that it is within ±5mV (@VDD: 5V).

Secondary temperature characteristics for pressure sensor offset and sensitivity as shown in this equation
can be cancelled out with the AK8996's corresponding characteristics.
Secondary temperature characteristics for pressure sensor offset and sensitivity Vsen (T):
Vsen (T) = αT^2+βT+γ
Secondary temperature characteristics for AK8996 offset and sensitivity Vic (T):
Vic = [(g*a)T^2+(g*b)T+(g*c)]+[dT+e]=(g*a)T^2+(g*b+d)T+(g*c+e)
Quadratic function Linear function
In order to cancel the secondary temperature characteristics, the following measurements should be
conducted for at least three different temperatures (e.g., 25ºC, -40ºC, +105ºC).

Values for g*a, g*b+d and g*c+e are known from the AK8996 temperature drift measurement
results.
Zero order coefficient γ and g*c + e are already adjusted in Sections 5 and 6, so no further
adjustment is required here.

Explanations for "Calculating Sensitivity Temperature Characteristics 2nd Order Coefficients", "Offset
Temperature Secondary Characteristics Calculation Example" and "Sensitivity Temperature Secondary
Characteristics Calculation Example." are described in the following section.
■ Calculating Sensitivity Temperature Characteristics 2nd Order Coefficients
The difference between the values measured at the VOUT pin for three temperature points and the
reference values at the reference voltage (Vbase = 0.8 V) is calculated to obtain the following coefficients
for the sensitivity:
Sensor: α ga, β ga, γ ga
AK8996: a, b, c (quadratic function output), d, e (linear function output)
For example, assume:
Sensitivity temperature drift measurement result for a sensor alone:
Vsenc (25ºC), Vsenn (low temp), Vsenp (high temp)
Sensitivity temperature drift measurement result for AK8996:
Vicc2 (25ºC), Vicn2 (low temp), Vicp2 (high temp) quadratic function
Vicc1 (25ºC), Vicn1 (low temp), Vicp1 (high temp) linear function
Note) These values are for the span from which the offset voltages are subtracted for each temperature.
1) The gain values (gc, gn, gp) for compensating the sensitivity temperature drift are obtained from the
sensitivity temperature drift results of a sensor alone:
gc=Vsenc/Vsenc=1, gn=Vsenc/Vsenn, gp=Vsenc/Vsenp
For the gain values (gc, gn, gp) obtained, find the voltage that should be output from the AK8996
quadratic function generator.
Vsenc1=Vbase/gc, Vsenn1=Vbase/gn, Vsenp1=Vbase/gp
Vbase: AK8996's quadratic function generator reference voltage (Vbase = 0.8V)
Find the coefficients (α ga, β ga, γ ga) as the secondary characteristics of the sensitivity temperature
drift of a sensor alone from the voltages for Vsenc1, Vsenn1 and Vsenp1.
2) From the AK8996's sensitivity temperature drift measurement result, find the gain values (gicc2, gicn2,
gicp2) which are compensated for by the quadratic function generator.
Depicted in this example is the AK8996's quadratic function sensitivity temperature drift
measurement result (same is also true with that of a linear function).
gicc2=Vicc2/Vicc2=1, gicn2=Vicn2/Vicc2, gicp2=Vicp2/Vicc2
For the gain values (gicc2, gicn2, gicp2) obtained, find the voltage which is output from the AK8996
quadratic function generator.
Vicc21=Vbase/gicc2, Vicn21=Vbase/gicn2, Vicp21=Vbase/gicp2
Vbase: AK8996's quadratic function generator reference voltage (Vbase = 0.8V)
Find the coefficients (a, b, c) as the secondary characteristics of the AK8996's sensitivity temperature
drift from the voltages for Vicc21, Vicn21 and Vicp21. In the same way, find the coefficients (d, e) as
the primary characteristics of the AK8996's sensitivity temperature drift from the voltages for Vicc11,
Vicn11 and Vicp11.

Specific calculation examples are described here.
■ Offset Temperature Secondary Characteristics Calculation Example (See 5) Register Description in
"Serial Interface Description" Section)
Assume the AK8996's secondary characteristics (quadratic function and linear function) as:
Vic=[(g*a)T^2+(g*b)T+(g*c)]+[dT+e]=(g*a)T^2+(g*b+d)T+(g*c+e)
Quadratic function
Linear function
For example, the contents of an adjustment register corresponding to the sensor's secondary
characteristics is measured by:
Assume the secondary characteristic of the measured sensor is Vsen = 0.0003T^2 - 0.0237T+ 0.0.
If the temperature secondary characteristic of the measured AK8996's offset voltage is
Vic2=0.0016T^2 - 0.16T + 0.0 and the primary characteristic is Vic1=0.6T + 0.0, set the coefficient
so that the sensor's secondary characteristic is canceled out (i.e., AK8996's secondary
characteristic becomes Vic=-0.0003T^2 + 0.0237T - 0.0).
EOT2[7]: Second-order coefficient adjustment sign bit for the offset voltage temperature drift
To make the measured AK8996's second-order coefficient (g*a) positive, EOT[7]=0.
To make the measured AK8996's second-order coefficient (g*a) negative, EOT[7]=1.
In this example, set "1" because the second-order coefficient (g*a) is -0.0003.
EOT2[6:0]: Second-order coefficient adjustment bit for the offset voltage temperature drift
Adjust the coefficient in 0.7874% steps.
For example, set EOT2[6:0]=103dec and g*a=-0.000302 for the measured AK8996's
second-order coefficient (g*a). That is, the AK8996's secondary characteristic is
Vic2=-0.000302T^2 + 0.0302T - 0.0.
0.000302=0.0016*|1-0.7874/100*103|
0.0302=0.16*|1-0.7874/100*103|
Next, adjust the first-order coefficient so that the AK8996's first-order coefficient (g*b + d) equals
+0.0237.
EOT1[9]: First-order coefficient adjustment sign bit for the offset voltage temperature drift
Set EOT[9]=0 if the adjustment first-order coefficient d is for addition.
Set EOT[9]=1 if the adjustment first-order coefficient d is for subtraction.
In this example, set "1" because the first-order coefficient (g*b + d) is subtracted from
+0.0302 after secondary characteristic adjustment.
EOT1[8:0]: First-order coefficient adjustment bit for the offset voltage temperature drift
Since the first-order coefficient is +0.0237 (=0.0302-0.0065), set EOT1[8:0]=456dec
and d=-0.00646. That is, the AK8996's primary characteristic is Vic1=-0.00646T+0.0.
0.00646=0.6*|1-0.1957/100*456|
Now the adjustment of the second-order and first-order coefficients is completed with the
adjustment (Vic=0.0003T^2-0.0237T+0.0). The zero order coefficient is, ideally, 0.0, but it could
remain as an offset voltage. If that is the case, fine-tune according to the offset voltage fine
adjustment procedure after finishing the offset and sensitivity temperature drift adjustment.

■ Sensitivity Temperature Secondary Characteristics Calculation Example (See 5) Register
Description in the "Serial Interface Description" section)
Assume the AK8996's secondary characteristics (quadratic function and linear function) as:
Vic=[(g*a)T^2+(g*b)T+(g*c)]+[dT+e]=(g*a)T^2+(g*b+d)T+(g*c+e)
Quadratic function
Linear function
For example, the content of the adjustment register corresponds to the sensor's secondary
characteristic in the positive pressure is measured by:
Assume the secondary characteristic of the measured sensor is Vsen = 0.00051T^2 - 0.2345T + 0.0.
If the secondary characteristic of the measured AK8996's sensitivity temperature is Vic2=0.0016T^2
- 0.16T + 0.0 and the primary characteristic is Vic1=0.32T + 0.0, set the coefficient to match the
sensor's secondary characteristic (i.e., AK8996's secondary characteristic becomes Vic=
0.00051T^2 - 0.2345T + 0.0).
ST2P[7]:
Second-order coefficient adjustment sign bit for the sensitivity temperature secondary
characteristics
Set EST2P[7]=0 to make the measured AK8996's second-order coefficient (g*a)
positive.
Set EST2P[7]=1 to make the measured AK8996's second-order coefficient (g*a)
negative.
In this example, set "0" because the second-order coefficient (g*a) is 0.00051.
ST2P[6:0]: Coefficient adjustment bit for sensitivity temperature secondary characteristics
Adjust the coefficient in 0.7874% steps.
For example, set EST2P[6:0]=123dec and g*a=0.0005039 for the measured AK8996's
second-order coefficient (g*a). That is, the AK8996's secondary characteristic is Vic2
= 0.0005039T^2 - 0.05039T + 0.0.
0.0005039=0.0016*|1-0.7874/100*123|
0.05039=0.16*|1-0.7874/100*123|
Next, adjust the first-order coefficient so that the AK8996's first-order coefficient (g*b + d) equals
-0.2345.
ST1P[9]: First-order coefficient adjustment sign bit for the sensitivity temperature secondary
characteristics
Set EST1P[9]=0 if the adjustment first-order coefficient d is for addition.
Set EST1P[9]=1 if the adjustment first-order coefficient d is for subtraction.
In this example, set "1" because the first-order coefficient (g*b + d) is subtracted from
-0.05039 after secondary characteristics adjustment.
ST1P[8:0] : First-order coefficient adjustment bit for the sensitivity temperature secondary
characteristics
Since a first-order coefficient is -0.2345 (=-0.05039-0.18411), set EST1P[8:0]=354dec
and d=-0.18434. That is, the AK8996's primary characteristic is Vic1=-0.18434T+0.0.
Now the adjustment of the second-order and first-order coefficients is completed with the
adjustment (Vic=0.00051T^2-0.2345T+0.0). The zero order coefficient is, ideally, 0.0, but it could
remain as a span voltage. If that is the case, fine-tune according to the span voltage adjustment
procedure after finishing the offset and sensitivity temperature drift adjustment.

9. Offset Voltage Fine Adjustment
Adjusts the error caused when the offset voltage temperature drift are compensated for. Offset voltage
is adjusted using the offset voltage rough adjustment register (Address: 00h data EOC[10:7]) and
offset voltage fine adjustment register (Address: 01h data EOC[6:0]).
10. BUFF Gain Adjustment
Adjusts the output buffer gain. The output buffer gain is adjusted using the BUF gain adjustment
register (Address: 0Eh data EOG[2:0]).

Specific adjustment procedures for the output reference voltage are shown based on this block

Adjust the pressure determination threshold values (adjust the pressure determination threshold
value first, followed by the output reference voltage). Pressure determination threshold values are
adjusted using the pressure judgment threshold adjustment registers 1 and 2 (Address: 1D, 1Eh data:
EPJLV[9:0]).
As shown in the diagram, the buffer circuit and pressure judgment circuit are tuned for the pressure
determination threshold adjustments. Thus, the VO pin voltage after the pressure determination
threshold adjustment is almost equal to 2.5V (@VDD: 5V) as a result of the offset voltage adjustment
in Section 5. So, after adjusting the pressure determination threshold, some pressure determination
threshold values may cause the VOUT pin voltage to get stuck at the supply voltage. For example, if
the pressure determination threshold is adjusted to 1.0V with a supply voltage of 5V EOG[2:0]=4hex
(set to 4x), the VOUT pin voltage is 1.0 + 4*(2.5 - 1.0) = 7.0V, stuck at the supply voltage.
Adjust the output reference voltage. The output reference voltage is adjusted using the register for the
output reference voltage’s rough and fine adjustments (Address: 1B, 1Ch data: ELV[10:0]).
First, calculate the adjustment value for the output reference voltage rough adjustment (ELV[10:6]).
Specifically, since it is known that the VO pin voltage is 2.5V (@VDD: 5V) and the buffer reference
voltage is the pressure determination threshold, calculate so that the difference between the two
values is as small as possible. Next, adjust the VOUT pin voltage to the desired output reference
voltage using the output reference voltage fine adjustment (ELV[5:0]).

12. Output Span Voltage Fine Adjustment
Adjusts the error caused when the sensitivity temperature drift is compensated for. The output span
voltage is adjusted using the output span voltage adjustment register (Address: 02h data ESC[8],
address: 03h data ESC[7:0]).
2) Finding the VO Pin External Capacitance (Cap)
This section explains how the VO pin external capacitance is defined. The requirements for
determining the VO pin external capacitance value are, the stabilization time of the VOUT pin output
voltage on power-up and after exiting the standby mode (STBYN pin "L" to "H") and SINAD
(Signal/[Noise + Distortion]).
1. VOUT Pin Output Voltage Stabilization Time
Note that depending on the VO pin external capacitance values, the measurement values (VOUT pin
voltage) may contain errors upon power-up or after exiting STBYN. Stabilization time is not dependent
on the sampling clock.
Here is an example with the aid of a diagram and tables. "99.5% Settling time (+ in the figure)" in
the table below represents the time required for the voltage to settle to the output reference voltage X
(0.5*VDD in this case) during the period in the figure and the voltage to settle down to 99.5% of the
output voltage Y (0.1*VDD in this case) according to the pressure applied during the period (+ in
the figure). Note)
Under the conditions where the VO pin has an external capacitance of 3µF (sampling frequency
100Hz), the VOUT pin voltage will settle down to 16.4% (0.0815*VDD with respect to the expected
0.5*VDD value) of the output reference voltage during the period in the figure. The period in the
figure is fixed to 0.3 msec.
Settling factor A=(1-e^(-0.3[msec]/(560[Ω]*3[µF]))*100=16.4[%]
Subsequently, the output voltage will settle to 99.5% according to the pressure during period in the
figure. During period in the figure below, the output will settle down to from 0.0815*VDD to 99.5% of
0.1*VDD in 345.2 msec.
Settling factor B=(0.995*0.1*VDD-0.164*0.5*VDD)/(0.1*VDD-0.164*0.5*VDD)*100=97.2[%]
Settling time D (period in the figure) =-32[kΩ]*3[µF]*ln(1-B/100)=345.2 [msec]
Therefore, the settling time up to 99.5% (period + in the figure) will be as follows:
99.5% settling time (period + in the figure) = 0.3 [msec] + D = 345.5 [msec]

As mentioned in Sections "1. VOUT pin output voltage stabilization time" and "2. VOUT pin SINAD",
the VO pin external capacitance value should be reduced to decrease the measurement time. For
increased SINAD, the VO pin external capacitance value should be greater.
On determining the VO pin external capacitance value, the various conditions should be thoroughly
reviewed according to the application requirements.

3) Pressure Detection & Determination Circuit Operation at Power-Up and Standby Exit (STBYN pin
"L" to "H")
Use caution when operating the pressure detection and pressure determination circuits on power-up
and after exiting the standby mode (STBYN pin "L" to "H").
1. Pressure detection circuit operation
For proper operation of the pressure detection circuit, it is necessary to settle the VOUT pin output
voltage to within ±0.5% of the output reference voltage configured in the "Settling time for stable
analog operation" (See "Operation Sequence" Section).
The VOUT pin output voltage settles in the time constant determined by the 32kΩ internal resistance
and VO pin external capacitance. To understand settling time, see 2) Finding the VO pin external
capacitance (Cap). If the Cap value is 0.1µF or less, the VOUT pin output voltage settles to within
±0.5% of the output reference voltage, while with the use of capacitance greater than 0.1µF, errors
may be detected because it does not settle to within ±0.5%.
In order to avoid this problem, the pressure detector should be left disabled for a short time at
power-up and at exiting the STBYN mode. Calculate the disable time based on 2) Finding the VO pin
external capacitance (Cap). There is a simplified equation to determine the worst-case value:
Disable time = -39400[Ω] * 1.1*C[F] |* ln (1-0.995)
2. Pressure Detection Circuit Disable Time
Pressure detection circuit Disable time is the time from exit of the settling time for stable analog
operation to the pressure detection output. Pressure detection circuit Disable time with
pressure detection valid and both pressure detection and self-diagnosis valid is shown below.

The settling time for the VOUT pin voltage is, as with the pressure detector, determined by the 32kΩ
internal resistor and VO pin external capacitance C. Current specifications (C≤0.1µF) do not cause
any problem with the pressure determination results, whereas misinterpretation may occur in the
pressure determination circuit if a capacitance of more than 0.1µF is used. These matters should be
carefully considered before use.
4) Power Consumption
Current values described in 3) Power Consumption in the Electrical Characteristics are those for the
average current. The maximum current is shown in the table below. Use a power supply with sufficient
supply capacity by referring to this table:

From this diagram, the switching operation inside the S/H1 differs between the code setup for
ELVR[9:6]=0h, ELVF[5:0]=00h (register LVR, LVF Address 1Bh, 1Ch) and otherwise. If the data is set
up as shown, both switches are turned off, while in other situations they are turned on.
In some circumstances, an adjustment step for the fine adjustment DAC on the VO pin or VOUT pin
cannot maintain the monotonicity between the ELVF[5:0]=00h and the other codes. Use adequate
care, especially when the output reference voltage is set around 0.5VDD.
6) Data Reproducibility at Measuring the Temperature Drift
AK8996 temperature drift data reproducibility experiments have been conducted. The
experimental result shown here indicates that the AK8996 temperature drift data reproducibility
is within ±0.3 mV. Note that the experimental result shown here is for reference:

7) Offset Temperature Primary Characteristics (Compensation Procedure)
If the offset temperature drift first order coefficient is left over after adjustment of the sensor
characteristics, follow the readjustment procedure. Ensure that this procedure is conducted before
9. Offset Voltage Fine Adjustment.
Readjustment Procedure (See the figure below)
1. On the most recent setup of the adjustment temperature (e.g., at 50ºC), calculate the coefficient to
be applied to the AK8996.
2. After setup, measure the VOUT pin voltage (Voff50) with the pressure set to 0kPa.
3. Store the measured value in the memory (e.g., address 16 hex EUE[7:0]).
4. Restore the temperature to 25ºC (last adjustment phase).
5. Measure the VOUT pin voltage (Voff25) with the pressure set to 0kPa.
The adjustment procedure is normally completed with the adjustments of the offset voltage, pressure
determination threshold, output reference voltage and output span voltage fine adjustment. If,
however, offset temperature characteristic first-order coefficient needs to be adjusted, the following
adjustments should be performed first:
6. Calculate the remaining offset temperature characteristic first-order coefficients.
Remaining offset temperature characteristic 1st order coeff. =
(Voff50-Voff25)/(50-25)[mV/ºC]···(A)
7. Calculate a gradient per step from the offset temperature drift first-order coefficient (e.g.,
0.04[mV/ºC]).
Adjustment code = (A)/0.04
8. Apply the calculated adjustment code to the OT1 register (address 06 hex).

detection threshold based on the mode setup is summarized.

The pressure detector's detection threshold can be set up, as shown in the block diagram, either
through the external input (PTH pin) or internal setup (EEPROM setup EPT[3:0]). Selecting the
external input or internal setup can be performed using the EEPROM (EINT2[0]).
As shown in the block diagram, the pressure detector's detection threshold is limited by the setup
range depending on the mode setup. Setup range limitations are summarized here; use care when
using the pressure detector.

For example, if EINT3[1:0]: 0hex is set, the detection threshold range is, as shown in the table,
0.5*VDD to 0.95*VDD @VDD: 5V. This means that setup below 0.5*VDD cannot be achieved, so due
consideration must be given when using it.

9) Note on the AK8996 Power-up
When applying the power to the AK8996, use caution to the following.
On power up the AK8996, keep the rise time below 200µs (0.1*VDD -> 0.8*VDD). If the rise time on
power up exceeds 200µs, this section may enter the test mode. The AK8996 may not function
properly in the test mode. To exit from the test mode, reset at the STBYN pin or recycle the power.
If the AK8996 cannot be powered up in less than 200µs, connect the STBYN pin to the resistor (R) and
capacitor (C) as shown below. Determine the resistance (R) and capacitance (C) values so that the
STBYN pin voltage is 0.3*VDD or less when the supply voltage reaches the VDD to ensure the
AK8996 digital circuit is reset on power up.
The following equation is used to calculate the resistance (R) and capacitance (C) values.

10) Note on the pressure detection circuit hysteresis voltage setup
Use caution to the following when setting up the pressure detection circuit hysteresis voltage.
The hysteresis voltage is normally used as negative with respect to the pressure detection threshold value
reference. If, however, the hysteresis voltage is set to a low value (e.g. 0.0025*VDD), the hysteresis
voltage may be positive with respect to the pressure detection threshold reference. In that case, the
pressure detection circuit may not function properly.
To avoid the above situations, be sure to adjust the hysteresis voltage in the adjustment phase before
using the pressure detection circuit hysteresis voltage. Also note that the hysteresis voltage varies with
the supply voltage.
The hysteresis voltages for four different supply voltages (2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 5V) are shown in the table
below. Regions in the table where hysteresis voltage is likely to be inverted are shaded in red and the
regions the voltage is the least likely to be inverted are shaded in blue. Note that the table in the below is
for reference purpose only; do not use it as being guaranteed.

Serial Interface Description
The AK8996 writes data to and reads data from the EEPROM and control register (volatile memory) through a
three-wire synchronous serial interface, consisting of SCLK, SDI/O and CS. The serial interface circuit in its
input standby state detects the CS high signal and captures data from SDI/O in sync with the rising edge of the
SCLK, and outputs data from SDI/O synchronous with the rising edge of SCLK. Input data contains three
instruction bits (12 - 10), five address bits (A4 - A0) and eight data bits (D7 - D0). Provide the data in the order
of I2 → I0 → A4 → A0 → D7 → D0.
On the WRITE instruction, allow 5msec or more write time for EEPROM and 300nsec or more write time for
the control register (see Twr in 6) Digital AC Characteristics in the Electrical Characteristics section). For the
READ instruction, data is written up to 8CLK for SCLK (any values are acceptable because the data is
ignored) and the data output starting at the rising edge of 9CLK is read out.
1) Data Configuration
Configuration of data written to or read out through the serial interface is shown below. There are 16 specific
bits of data in total comprised of three instruction bits, five address bits and eight data bits.

Offset and span adjustment should be made after mode setup and adjustment of the reference
generator section including VREF, IREF, OSC and VTMP.
***** CAUTION *****
At the time of adjustment, set the EEPROM control mode to EEPROM Always Operating mode
(Control register Address 01 hex AEPEN[0]:1).
a) Offset voltage adjustment (Register names: OCR, OCF)
Rough adjustment should be performed first, followed by a fine adjustment for the offset voltage.
The content of the adjustment registers are shown here.
a-1) Offset voltage rough adjustment (OCR)
The offset voltage is coarsely tuned.
The offset adjustment voltage varies ratiometrically with respect to the supply voltage.
The ratio in the table below is benchmarked to a VOUT output of 4000 mV (@VDD: 5V) as 100%
