These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Input pins are diode-clamped to the power-supply rails. Input signals that can swing more than 0.5 V beyond the supply rails must be current limited, except for the differential amplifier input pins. These inputs are not diode-clamped to the power-supply rails. Power-limited; observe maximum junction temperature. 6.2 ESD Ratings VALUE V(ESD) (1) (2) Human-body model (HBM), per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Electrostatic discharge (1) ±2000 Charged-device model (CDM), per JEDEC specification JESD22-C101 (2) ±1000 UNIT V JEDEC document JEP155 states that 500-V HBM allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control process.

Hall-effect sensors are most common in magnetic field sensing, but their offset, noise, gain variation, and nonlinearity limit the achievable resolution and accuracy of the system. Fluxgate sensors offer significantly higher sensitivity, lower drift, lower noise, and high linearity and enable up to 1000-times better accuracy of the measurement. As shown in the Functional Block Diagram section, the DRV425 consists of a magnetic fluxgate sensor with the necessary sensor conditioning and compensation coil to internally close the control loop. The fluxgate sensor is repeatedly driven in and out of saturation and supports hysteresis-free operation with excellent accuracy. The internal compensation coil assures stable gain and high linearity. The magnetic field (B) is detected by the internal fluxgate sensor in the DRV425. The device integrates the sensor output to assure high-loop gain. The integrator output connects to the built-in differential driver that drives an opposing compensation current through the internal compensation coil. The compensation coil generates an opposite magnetic field that brings the original magnetic field at the sensor back to zero. The compensation current is proportional to the external magnetic field and its value is 12.2 mA/mT. This compensation current generates a voltage drop across an external shunt resistor, RSHUNT. An integrated difference amplifier with a fixed gain of 4 V/V measures this voltage and generates an output voltage that is referenced to REFIN and is proportional to the magnetic field. The value of the output voltage at the VOUT pin (VVOUT) is calculated using Equation 1: VVOUT [V] = B × G × RSHUNT × GAMP = B [mT] × 12.2 mA/mT × RSHUNT [Ω] × 4 [V/V] (1) 7.2 Functional Block Diagram RSHUNT COMP1 COMP2 DRV2 Fluxgate Sensor Front-End Compensation Coil Integrator Fluxgate Sensor DRV1 AINP AINN Shunt Sense Amplifier Differential Driver VOUT REFIN Device Control OR ERROR BSEL DRV425 Voltage Reference RSEL0 REFOUT RSEL1 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DRV425 17 DRV425 SBOS729 – OCTOBER 2015 www.ti.com 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Fluxgate Sensor Front-End The following sections describe the functional blocks and features of the integrated fluxgate sensor front-end. 7.3.1.1 Fluxgate Sensor The fluxgate sensor of the DRV425 is uniquely suited for high-performance magnetic-field sensors because of the high sensitivity, low noise, and low offset of the sensor. The fluxgate principle relies on repeatedly driving the sensor in and out of saturation; therefore, the sensor is free of any significant magnetic hysteresis. The feedback loop accurately drives a compensation current through the integrated compensation coil and drives the magnetic field at the sensor back to zero. This approach supports excellent gain stability and high linearity of the measurement. The DRV425 package is free of any ferromagnetic materials in order to prevent magnetization by external fields and to obtain accurate and hysteresis-free operation. Select non-magnetizable materials for the printed circuit board (PCB) and passive components in the direct vicinity of the DRV425; see the Layout Guidelines section for more details. The orientation and the sensitivity axis of the fluxgate sensor is indicated by a dashed line on the top of the package, as shown in Figure 61. Figure 61 also shows the location of the sensor inside the package.

The implemented integrator limits the bandwidth of the loop to provide stable response. Use the digital input pin BSEL to select the bandwidth. For a shunt resistor of 22 Ω and BSEL = 0, the bandwidth is 32 kHz; for BSEL = 1, the bandwidth is 47 kHz. Bandwidth can be reduced by increasing the value of the shunt resistor because the shunt resistor and the compensation coil resistance form a voltage divider. The reduced bandwidth (BW) can be calculated using Equation 2: RCOIL 22 : 122 : u BW22 : u BW22 : BW RCOIL RSHUNT 100 : RSHUNT where • • • RCOIL = internal compensation coil resistance (100 Ω), RSHUNT = external shunt resistance, and BW22Ω = sensor bandwidth with RSHUNT = 22 Ω (depending on the BSEL setting) (2) The bandwidth for a given shunt resistor value can also be calculated using the DRV425 System Parameter Calculator, SLOC331. For large magnetic fields (B > 500 μT), the effective bandwidth of the sensor is limited by fluxgate saturation effects. For a magnetic signal with a 2-mT amplitude, the large-signal bandwidth is 10 kHz with BSEL = 0 or 15 kHz with BSEL = 1. Although the analog output responds slowly to large fields, a magnetic field with a magnitude of 1.6 mT (or higher) beyond the measurement range of the DRV425 triggers the ERROR pin within 4 µs to 6 µs. See the Magnetic Field Range, Overrange Indicator, and Error Flag section for more details. 7.3.1.3 Differential Driver for the Internal Compensation Coil The differential compensation coil driver provides the current for the internal compensation coil at the DRV1 and DRV2 pins. The driver is capable of sourcing up to ±250 mA with a 5-V supply or up to ±150 mA in 3.3-V mode. The current capability is not internally limited. The actual value of the compensation coil current depends on the magnetic field strength and is limited by the sum of the resistance of the internal compensation coil and the external shunt resistor value. The internal compensation coil resistance depends on temperature (see Figure 17) and must be taken into account when dimensioning the system. Select the value of the shunt resistor to avoid OR pin trip levels in normal operation. The common-mode voltage of the compensation coil driver outputs is set by the RSEL pins (see the Voltage Reference section). Thus, the common-mode voltage of the shunt-sense amplifier is matched if the internal reference is used. Consider the polarity of the compensation coil connection to the output of the compensation coil driver. If the polarity is incorrect, then the driver output drives to the power-supply rails, even at low primary-current levels. In this case, interchange the connection of the DRV1 and DRV2 pins to the compensation coil.

The maximum compensation current is limited by the supply voltage and the series resistance of the compensation coil and the shunt. The magnetic field range is adjusted with the external shunt resistor. The DRV425 System Parameter Calculator, SLOC331 provides the maximum shunt resistor values depending on the supply voltage (VDD) and the selected reference voltage (VREFIN) for various magnetic field ranges. For proper operation at a maximum field (BMAX), choose a shunt resistor (RSHUNT) using Equation 3 RSHUNT d min VDD VREFIN ,VREFIN 0.085 V BMAX u 12.2 A/T u 4 V/V where • • • VDD = minimum supply voltage of the DRV425 (V), VREFIN = common-mode voltage of the shunt-sense amplifier (V), and BMAX = desired magnetic field range (T) (3) Alternatively, to adjust the output voltage of the DRV425 for a desired maximum voltage (VVOUTMAX), use Equation 4: VVOUTMAX VREFIN RSHUNT d BMAX u 12.2 A/T u 4 V/V where • • VVOUTMAX = desired maximum output voltage at VOUT pin (V), and BMAX = desired magnetic field range (T) (4) To avoid railing of the compensation coil driver, assure that Equation 5 is fulfilled: BMAX u (RCOIL RSHUNT ) u 12.2A / T 0.1V d min VDD VREFIN ,VREFIN 2 where • • • • BMAX = desired magnetic field range (T), RCOIL = compensation coil resistance (Ω), VDD = minimum supply voltage of the DRV425 (V), and VREFIN = selected internal reference voltage value (V) (5) The DRV425 System Parameter Calculator, SLOC331 is designed to assist with selecting the system parameters. The DRV425 offers two diagnostic output pins to detect large fields that exceed the measurement range of the sensor: the overrange indicator (OR) and the ERROR flag. In normal operation, the DRV425 sensor feedback loop compensates the magnetic field inside the fluxgate to zero. Therefore, a large field inside the fluxgate indicates that the feedback loop is not properly working and the sensor output is invalid. To detect this condition, the ERROR pin is pulled low if the internal field exceeds 1.6 mT. The ERROR output is suppressed for 4 µs to 6 µs to prevent an undesired reaction to transients or noise. For static and slowly varying ambient fields, the ERROR pin triggers when the ambient field exceeds the sensor measurement range by more than 1.6 mT. For dynamic magnetic fields that exceed the sensor bandwidth as specified in the Specifications section, the feedback loop response is too slow to accurately compensate the internal field to zero. Therefore, high-frequency fields can trigger the ERROR pin, even if the ambient field does not exceed the measurement range by 1.6 mT. In addition, the low-active overrange pin (OR) indicates railing of the output of the shunt-sense amplifier. The OR output is suppressed for 2.5 µs to 3.5 µs to prevent an undesired reaction to transients or noise. The OR pin trip level refers to the output voltage value of the shunt-sense amplifier as specified in the Specifications section. Use Equation 3 and Equation 4 to adjust the OR pin behavior to the specific system-level requirements. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DRV425 DRV425 www.ti.com SBOS729 – OCTOBER 2015 Feature Description (continued) Both the ERROR and OR pins are open-drain outputs that require an external pullup resistor. Connect both pins together with a single pullup resistor to provide a single diagnostic flag, if desired. Based on the DRV425 System Parameter Calculator, SLOC331, for a design for a ±2-mT magnetic field input range with a supply of 5 V (±5%), a shunt resistor value of 22 Ω is selected and Figure 63 shows the status of the diagnostic flags in the resulting three operation ranges.

Magnetic Field Range of the DRV421 (VDD = 5 V and RSHUNT = 22 Ω) With the proper RSHUNT value, the differential amplifier output rails and activates the overrange flag (OR = 0) when the magnetic field exceeds the designated operating range. For fields that exceed the measurement range of the DRV425 by ≥ 1.6 mT, the fluxgate is permanently saturated and the ERROR pin is pulled low. In this condition, the fluxgate sensor does not provide a valid output value and, therefore, the output VOUT of the DRV425 must be ignored. In applications where the ERROR pin cannot be separately monitored, combining the VOUT and ERROR outputs is recommended (as shown in Figure 64) to indicate a magnetic field outside of the sensor range by pulling the output of the DRV425 to ground.

The internal differential amplifier senses this voltage drop. This differential amplifier offers wide bandwidth and a high slew rate. Excellent dc stability and accuracy result from a chopping technique. The voltage gain is 4 V/V, set by precisely-matched and thermally-stable internal resistors. Both the AINN and AINP differential amplifier inputs are connected to the external shunt resistor. This shunt resistor, in series with the internal 10-kΩ input resistors of the shunt sense amplifier, causes an additional gain error. Therefore, for best common-mode rejection performance, place a dummy shunt resistor (R5) with a value higher than the shunt resistor in series with the REFIN pin to restore the matching of both resistor dividers, as shown in Figure 65.

Internal Difference Amplifier with an Example of a Decoupling Filter For an overall gain of 4 V/V, calculate the value of R5 using Equation 6: R 4 + R5 R 4= 2 = R1 RSHUNT + R3 where: • • R2 / R1 = R4 / R3 = 4, R5 = RSHUNT × 4 (6) If the input signal is large, the amplifier output drives close to the supply rails. The amplifier output is able to drive the input of a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). For best performance, add an RC low-pass filter stage between the shunt-sense amplifier output and the ADC input. This filter limits the noise bandwidth and decouples the high-frequency sampling noise of the ADC input from the amplifier output. For filter resistor RF and filter capacitor CF values, see the specific converter recommendations in the respective product data sheet. The shunt-sense amplifier output drives 100 pF directly and shows a 50% overshoot with a 1-nF capacitance. Filter resistor RF extends the capacitive load range. Note that with an RF of only 20 Ω, the load capacitor must be either less than 1 nF or more than 33 nF to avoid overshoot; with an RF of 50 Ω, this transient area is avoided. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DRV425 DRV425 www.ti.com SBOS729 – OCTOBER 2015 Feature Description (continued) Reference input REFIN is the common-mode voltage node for the output signal VOUT. Use the internal voltage reference of the DRV425 by connecting the REFIN pin to the reference output REFOUT. To avoid mismatch errors, use the same reference voltage for REFIN and the ADC. Alternatively, use an ADC with a pseudodifferential input, with the positive input of the ADC connected to VOUT and the negative input connected to REFIN of the DRV425. 7.3.3 Voltage Reference The internal precision voltage reference circuit offers low-drift performance at the REFOUT output pin and is used for internal biasing. The reference output is intended to be the common-mode voltage of the output (the VOUT pin) to provide a bipolar signal swing. This low-impedance output tolerates sink and source currents of ±5 mA. However, fast load transients can generate ringing on this line. A small series resistor of a few ohms improves the response, particularly for capacitive loads equal to or greater than 1 μF. Adjust the value of the voltage reference output to the power supply of the DRV425 using mode selection pins RSEL0 and RSEL1, as shown in Table 1. Table 1.

The DRV425 requires 300 μs to fully settle the analog output VOUT, as shown in Figure 66. To minimize power dissipation, the device can be powered down immediately after acquiring the sample by the ADC. startup VDD VOUT Settling time: 300 µs Figure 66.

The sensitivity drift performance of a DRV425-based linear position sensor is dominated by the temperature coefficient of the external shunt resistor. Select a low-drift shunt resistor for best sensor performance. Use the DRV425 System Parameter Calculator, SLOC331 (Problems Detected Table in DRV425 System Parameters tab) to verify the system response. The amplitude of the magnetic field is a function of distance to and the shape of the magnet, as shown in Figure 69. If the magnetic field to be measured exceeds 3.6 mT, see the datasheet of the magnet to calculate the appropriate minimum distance to the DRV425 to avoid saturating the fluxgate sensor. The high sensitivity of the DRV425 may require shielding of the sensing area to avoid influence of undesired magnetic field sources (such as the earth magnetic field). Alternatively, an additional DRV425 can be used to perform difference measurement to cancel the influence of a static magnetic field source, as shown in Figure 68. Figure 70 shows the differential voltage generated by two DRV425 devices in such a circuit. DRV425-2 DRV425-1 Direction of Linear Movement > > REFOUT REFIN VOUT REFOUT REFIN VOUT ADC Figure 68.

These modules are usually bulky because of the required large magnetic core. Additionally, because the compensation current generated inside the module is proportional to the usually high busbar current, the power dissipation of this solution is usually as high as several watts. Figure 71 shows an alternative approach with two DRV425 devices. If a hole is drilled in the middle of the busbar, the current is split in two equal parts that generate magnetic field gradients with opposite directions inside the hole. These magnetic fields are termed BR and BL in Figure 72. The opposite fields cancel each other out in the middle of the hole. The high sensitivity and linearity of two DRV425 devices positioned at the same distance from the middle of the hole allow the small opposite fields to be sensed and the current measured with high-accuracy levels. The differential measurement rejects outside fields that generate a common-mode error that is subtracted at the output. Busbar (Top View) I/2 Hole DRV425-1 I I DRV425-2 PCB I/2 Figure 71.

The measurement range and resolution of this solution depends on the following factors: • Busbar geometry: a wider busbar means a larger measurement range and lower resolution. • Size of the hole: a larger diameter means a larger measurement range and lower resolution. • Distance between the two DRV425 sensors: a smaller distance increases the measurement range and resolution. Each of these factors can be optimized to create the desired measurement range for a particular application. Measurement ranges of ±250 A to ±1500 A are achievable with this approach. Larger currents are supported with large busbar structures and minimized distance between the two DRV425 sensors. Use the parameters listed in Table 3 as a starting point of the design. Table 3.

Both compensation coils are connected in series and are driven from a single side of the compensation coil driver (the DRV1 pins of each DRV425). Therefore, both driver stages ensure that a current proportional to the magnetic fields BR and BL is driven through the respective compensation coil. The difference in current through both compensation coils, and thus the difference field between the sensors, flows through resistor R3 and is sensed by the shunt-sense amplifier of U2. The current proportional to the common-mode field inside the busbar hole flows through R1 and R2 and is sensed by the shunt-sense amplifier of U1. Use the output VCM to verify that the sensors are correctly positioned in the busbar hole with the following steps: 1. Measure VCM with no current flow through the busbar and the PCB in the middle of the busbar hole. This value is the offset voltage VOFFSET. The value of VOFFSET only depends on stray fields and varies little with the absolute position of the sensors. 2. Apply current through the busbar and move the PCB along the y-axis in the busbar hole, as shown in Figure 72. The PCB is in the center of the hole if VCM = VOFFSET. The sensitivity drift performance of the circuit shown in Figure 73 is dominated by the temperature coefficient of the external resistors R1, R2, and R3. Select low-drift resistors for best sensor performance. For overall system error calculation, also consider the affect of thermal expansion on the PCB and busbar. The internal voltage reference of the DRV425 cannot be used in this application because of its limited driver capability. The OPA320 (U3) is a low-noise operational amplifier with a short-circuit current capability of ±65 mA and is used to support the required compensation current. The advantage of this solution is its simplicity: the currents are subtracted by the two DRV425 devices without additional components. The series connection of the compensation coils halves the voltage swing and reduces the measurement range of the sensors also by 50%. If a larger sensing range is required, operate the two sensors independently and use a differential amplifier or ADC to subtract both voltage outputs (VOUT). Use the ERROR outputs for fast overcurrent detection on the system level. 8.2.2.3 Application Curves Figure 74 and Figure 75 show the measurement results on a 16-mm wide and 6-mm thick copper busbar with a 12-mm hole diameter using the circuit shown in Figure 73. The two DRV425 devices are placed at a distance of 1 mm from each other on opposite sides of the PCB. The measurement range is ±500 A; measurement results are limited by test setup. Independent operation of the two DRV425 sensors increases the measurement range to ±1000 A with the same busbar geometry. 400 0.5 350 0.4 0.3 Linearity Error (%FS) VDIFF - VREF (mV) 300 250 200 150 100 0.2 0.1 0 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3 50 -0.4 0 -0.5 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 Busbar Current (A) 160 180 0 20 D066 Figure 74.

For best performance, place both decoupling capacitors as close to the related powersupply pins as possible. Connect these capacitors to the power-supply source in a way that allows the current to flow through the pads of the decoupling capacitors. 9.2 Power-On Start-Up and Brownout Power-on is detected when the supply voltage exceeds 2.4 V at the VDD pin. At this point, the DRV425 initiates the following start-up sequence: 1. Digital logic starts up and waits for 26 μs for the supply to settle. 2. The fluxgate sensor powers up. 3. The compensation loop is active 70 μs after the supply voltage exceeds 2.4 V. During this startup sequence, the DRV1 and DRV2 outputs are pulled low to prevent undesired signals on the compensation coil and the ERROR pin is asserted low. The DRV425 tests for low supply voltages with a brownout voltage level of 2.4 V. Use a power-supply source capable of supporting large current pulses driven by the DRV425, and low-ESR bypass capacitors for a stable supply voltage in the system. A supply drop below 2.4 V that lasts longer than 20 μs generates a power-on reset; the device ignores shorter voltage drops. A voltage drop on the VDD pin to below 1.8 V immediately initiates a power-on reset. After the power supply returns to 2.4 V, the device initiates a start-up cycle. 9.3 Power Dissipation The thermally-enhanced, PowerPAD, WQFN package reduces the thermal impedance from junction to case. This package has a downset lead frame that the die is mounted to. The lead frame has an exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD) on the underside of the package, and provides a good thermal path for heat dissipation. The power dissipation on both linear outputs DRV1 and DRV2 is calculated with Equation 7: PD(DRV) = IDRV × (VDRV – VSUPPLY) where • • • IDRV = supply current as shown in Figure 59, VDRV = voltage potential on the DRV1 or DRV2 output pin, and VSUPPLY = voltage potential closer to VDRV: VDD or GND (7) 9.3.1 Thermal Pad Packages with an exposed thermal pad are specifically designed to provide excellent power dissipation, but board layout greatly influences the overall heat dissipation.

Observe proper PCB layout techniques because any current-conducting wire in the direct vicinity of the DRV425 generates a magnetic field that can distort measurements. Common passive components and some PCB plating materials contain ferromagnetic materials that are magnetizable. For best performance, use the following layout guidelines: • Route current-conducting wires in pairs: route a wire with an incoming supply current next to, or on top of, its return current path. The opposite magnetic field polarity of these connections cancel each other. To facilitate this layout approach, the DRV425 positive and negative supply pins are located next to each other. • Route the compensation coil connections close to each other as a pair to reduce coupling effects. • Minimize the length of the compensation coil connections between the DRV1/2 and COMP1/2 pins. • Route currents parallel to the fluxgate sensor sensitivity axis as illustrated in Figure 76. As a result, magnetic fields are perpendicular to the fluxgate sensitivity and have limited affect. • Vertical current flow (for example, through vias) generates a field in the fluxgate-sensitive direction. Minimize the number of vias in the vicinity of the DRV425. • Use nonmagnetic passive components (for example, decoupling capacitors and the shunt resistor) to prevent magnetizing effects near the DRV425. • Do not use PCB trace finishes with nickel-gold plating because of the potential for magnetization. • Connect all GND pins to a local ground plane. Ferrite beads in series to the power-supply connection reduce interaction with other circuits powered from the same supply voltage source. However, to prevent influence of the magnetic fields if ferrite beads are used, do not place them next to the DRV425. The reference output (the REFOUT pin) refers to GND. Use a low-impedance and star-type connection to reduce the driver current and the fluxgate sensor current modulating the voltage drop on the ground track. The REFOUT and VOUT outputs are able to drive some capacitive load, but avoid large direct capacitive loading because of increased internal pulse currents. Given the wide bandwidth of the shunt-sense amplifier, isolate large capacitive loads with a small series resistor. Solder the exposed PowerPAD on the bottom of the package to the ground layer because the PowerPAD is internally connected to the substrate that must be connected to the most-negative potential. Figure 76 illustrates a generic layout example that highlights the placement of components that are critical to the DRV425 performance.
