NSE-5310
Miniature Position Encoder SOIC with Zero
Reference and I²C Output
1 General Description
2 Key Features
Direct digital output using I²C protocol
The TRACKER NSE-5310 is an incremental position sensor with onchip encoding for direct digital output. A Hall element array on the
chip is used to derive the incremental position of an external
magnetic strip placed above the IC at a distance of 0.3 mm (typ).
This sensor array detects the ends of the magnetic strip to provide a
zero reference point.
End-of-magnet detection for built-in zero reference
0.488 μm resolution
< 2 μm bi-directional repeatability
< ±10 µm absolute error
The integration of Hall-effect position sensors, analog front end and
digital signal processing on a single IC chip provides an ingeniously
small position sensor, without the need for external pulse counters.
Direct digital output is accessible over the serial interface using I²C
protocol.
On-chip temperature sensor
Magnetic field strength monitor
Available in TSSOP or 3.9 mm x 2.5 mm die for chip-on-board
mounting
The TRACKER NSE-5310 provides absolute position information
over the length of a magnet pole pair (2 mm). A user can count pole
pairs and achieve absolute position information over the entire length
of the magnet (essentially unlimited).
Custom packaging such as wafer-level chip scale packaging
can be provided. Minimum order quantities may apply.
RoHS compliant
With better than 0.5 micron resolution, the TRACKER is a robust,
cost-effective alternative to miniature optical encoders. It can be
used as a linear or off-axis rotary encoder.
3 Applications
The NSE-5310 is ideal for Micro-actuator and servo drive feedback,
Replacement for optical encoders, Optical and imaging systems,
Consumer electronics, Precision biomedical devices,
Instrumentation and automation, Automotive applications, and
Integrated closed-loop motion systems using New Scale’s
SQUIGGLE micro motor.

where:
sampling_distance = travelling distance between samples in mm
v = travelling speed in mm/sec
fs = sampling rate in Hz
Pole crossings need to be tracked to calculate absolute position beyond one pole pair. The ability to differentiate pole crossings may be
a speed limiting factor in such cases.

7 Detailed Description
The TRACKER measures the spatially varying magnetic field produced by moving a multi-pole magnetic strip over a Hall sensor array on the
NSE-5310 chip (see Figure 3). The internal sinusoidal (SIN) and phase-shifted sinusoidal (COS) signals are filtered and transformed into angle
(ANG) and magnitude (MAG), representing the absolute linear position within a 2 mm pole pair on the magnet. Interpolation with 12 bit (4096)
resolution yields 0.5 µm position resolution. Automatic gain control (AGC) adjusts for DC bias in the magnetic field and provides a large
magnetic field dynamic range for high immunity to external magnetic fields. The absolute magnitude of the magnetic field intensity is used to
detect the end of the magnetic strip and serves as a built-in zero reference. The length of the magnetic strip determines the maximum measured
stroke.
Note: Hall sensor array and on-chip digital encoder yield absolute position within a pole pair. Use a system processor to count pole pair
crossings for long-range absolute position.

7.1 Using 3.3V or 5V Operation
For 3.3V operation: Bypass the voltage regulator (LDO) by connecting VDD3V3 with VDD5V.
For 5V operation: Connect the 5V supply to pin VDD5V. VDD3V3 (LDO output) must be buffered by a 2.2µF to 10µF capacitor placed close to
the supply pin.
In either case, a buffer capacitor of 100nF close to pin VDD5V is recommended.
Note: Pin VDD3V3 must always be buffered by a capacitor. It must not be left floating, as this may cause an instable internal 3.3V supply voltage which may lead to larger than normal jitter of the measured position.
The 3V3 output is intended for internal use only. It must not be loaded with an external load.
The output voltage of the digital interface I/Os corresponds to the voltage at pin VDD5V, as the I/O buffers are supplied from this pin.

Figure 7. TRACKER NSE-5310 Evaluation Board
Figure 7 shows NSE-5310 SOIC mounted on a PCB with FPC connector for ease of handling. A multipole linear magnetic strip is positioned
above the sensor.
8.1 Hall Sensor Array
Eight Hall Sensor Front End cells are connected to two current summation busses which end into two Active Load circuits. The Hall elements are
arranged in an even linear array. The array is divided into four quadrants. For normal operation (position encoding), two opposite quadrants are
summed up differentially to neglect magnetic offsets. The 90 degree angular shift of the quadrant pairs produces 90 degree phase shifted SIN
and COS signals for a harmonic input signal provided by a diametrically magnetized source.

8.2 Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
As the magnetic input field varies non-linearly with the air gap between sensor and magnet, the gain is controlled to an optimum input signal for
the SD ADC. The magnitude output is compared to a target register value. The most significant eight bits are used. If the actual magnitude differs
from the target value, an UP/DOWN signal for the AGC counter signal is generated.
For air gap detection functionality, two magnitude-change outputs are derived from the AGC counter UP/DOWN signals while the loop is
controlling the amplitude back to the target amplitude. Magnitude Increasing (MagINCn) and Magnitude Decreasing (MagDECn) signals indicate
air gap (SIN/COS amplitude) changes. Both signals are high for saturation of the AGC counter (running into upper / lower limit) and produce a
Non-Valid-Range alarm. The output pins can be connected together in wired-OR configuration to produce a single NVRn bit. For faster power-up
and response time, a successive approximation algorithm is implemented.

The information is sequenced by the order of priority during operation. Hence temperature readout is not needed for every access and
magnitude information is only important if the AGC is out of range. The I²C readout can be stopped after every byte with the stop condition P.
Timing constraints are according to I2C-Bus Specification V2.1 / 2000.

Description
8.6 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Output
The NSE-5310 also provides a pulse width modulated output (PWM), whose duty cycle is proportional to the relative linear position of the
magnet within one pole pair (2.0 mm). This cycle repeats after every subsequent pole pair:
t on ⋅ 4098
-–1
Position = ----------------------( t on + t off )
(EQ 1)
Where:
Digital position = 0 – 4094
Exception: A linear position of 1999.5µm = digital position 4095 will generate a pulse width of tON = 4097µs and a pause tOFF = 1µs
The PWM frequency is internally trimmed to an accuracy of ±5% (±10% over full temperature range). This tolerance can be cancelled by
measuring the complete duty cycle as shown above.
Operating Conditions: TAMB = -40 to +125ºC, VDD5V = 3.0~3.6V (3V operation) VDD5V = 4.5~5.5V (5V operation) unless otherwise noted.

8.7 Magnetic Strip Requirements
The NSE-5310 requires a magnetic strip with alternate poles (North-South) of pole length of 1 mm and pole pair length of 2 mm. A half pole is
required at each end of the strip. The length of the strip determines the maximum measured stroke; it must be 3 mm greater than the stroke in 1
mm increments (1.5 mm on each end).
A circular magnet may be used to achieve off-axis rotary encoding.

The magnet strip must be in 1 mm increments. A ½ pole is required
at each end.

Recommended - for example Samarium Cobalt ReComa28 is 0.035%/K
Mounting the Magnet
Vertical Distance: As a rule of thumb, the gap between chip and magnet should be ½ of the pole length, that is Z=0.5mm for the 1.0mm pole
length of the magnets. However, the gap also depends on the strength of the magnet. The NSE-5310 automatically adjusts for fluctuating
magnet strength by using an automatic gain control (AGC). The vertical distance should be set such that the NSE-5310 is in the “green” range.
See Z-axis Range Indication (“Red/Yellow/Green” Indicator) on page 14 for more details.
Alignment of Multi-pole Magnet and IC: When aligning the magnet strip or ring to the NSE-5310, the centerline of the magnet strip should
be placed exactly over the Hall array. A lateral displacement in Y-direction (across the width of the magnet) is acceptable as long as it is within
the active area of the magnet. The active area in width is the area in which the magnetic field strength across the width of the magnet is constant
with reference to the centerline of the magnet.

Data Sheet - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n
Lateral Stroke of Multi-pole Strip Magnets: The lateral movement range (stroke) is limited by the area at which all Hall sensors of the IC
are covered by the magnet in either direction. The Hall array on the NSE-5310 has a length of 2.0mm, hence the total stroke is:
maximum lateral Stroke = Length of active area – length of Hall array
(EQ 2)
Note: Active area in length is defined as the area containing poles with the specified 1.0mm pole length. Shorter poles at either edge of the
magnet must be excluded from the active area.
