Sense PWM A D GND ROM Figure 3 2.2 *) TLE4998 P4 only Block Diagram Functional Description The linear Hall IC TLE4998P has been designed specifically to meet the requirements of highly accurate rotation and position detection, as well as for current measurement applications. The sensor provides a digital PWM signal, which is ideally suited for direct decoding by any unit measuring a duty cycle of a rectangular signal (usually a timer/capture unit in a microcontroller). Furthermore, it is possible to attach an external lowpass filter, which allows an A/D conversion using the sensor supply voltage as a reference. The output stage is an open-drain driver pulling the output pad to low only. Therefore, the high level must be obtained by an external pull-up resistor. This output type has the advantage that the receiver may use even a lower supply voltage (e.g. 3.3 V). In this case, the pull-up resistor must be connected to the given receiver supply. Data Sheet 8 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998P General The IC is produced in BiCMOS technology with high voltage capability, also providing reverse polarity protection. Digital signal processing, using a 16-bit DSP architecture together with digital temperature compensation, guarantees excellent long-time stability as compared to analog compensation methods. While the overall resolution is 16 bits, some internal stages work with resolutions up to 20 bits. The PWM output frequency can be selected within the range of 122 Hz up to 1953 Hz. 2.3 Principle of Operation • A magnetic flux is measured by a Hall-Effect cell • The output signal from the Hall-Effect cell is converted from Analog to Digital signals • The chopped Hall-Effect cell and continuous-time A/D conversion ensure a very low and stable magnetic offset • A programmable Low-Pass filter reduces the noise • The temperature is measured and A/D converted, too • Temperature compensation is done digitally using a second order function • Digital processing of output value is based on zero field and sensitivity value • The output value range can be clamped by digital limiters • The final output value is transferred in a rectangular, periodic signal with varying duty cycle (Pulse Width Modulation) • The duty cycle is proportional to the 12-bit output value Data Sheet 9 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998P General 2.4 Transfer Functions The examples in Figure 4 show how different magnetic field ranges can be mapped to the desired output value ranges. • Polarity mode: – Bipolar: Magnetic fields can be measured in both orientations. The limit points do not necessarily have to be symmetrical around the zero field point – Unipolar: Only North- or South-oriented magnetic fields are measured • Inversion: The gain values can be set positive or negative.

The range of the chopped A/D converter can be set in several steps (see Table 7). This gives a suitable level for the A/D converter • After the A/D conversion, a digital-low pass filter reduces the band width (Table 11). • A multiplier amplifies the value depending on the gain (see Table 9) and temperature compensation settings • The offset value is added (see Table 10) • A limiter reduces the resulting signal to 12 bits and feeds the Protocol Generation stage Temperature Compensation (Details are given in Chapter 8) • The output signal of the temperature cell is also A/D converted • The temperature is normalized by subtraction of the reference temperature T0 value (zero point of the quadratic function) Data Sheet 16 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998P Signal Processing • The linear path is multiplied by the TC1 value • In the quadratic path, the temperature difference to T0 is squared and multiplied by the TC2 value • Both path outputs are added together and multiplied by the Gain value from the EEPROM 6.1 Magnetic Field Ranges The working range of the magnetic field defines the input range of the A/D converter. It is always symmetrical around the zero field point. Any two points in the magnetic field range can be selected to be the end points of the output value. The output value is represented wihtin the range between the two points. In the case of fields higher than the range values, the output signal may be distorted. The range must be set before the calibration of offset and gain.

The low-pass filter has a constant DC amplification of 0 dB (gain of 1), which means that its setting has no influence on the internal Hall A/D converter value. The bandwidth can be set in 8 steps.

There are three parameters for the compensation: • Reference temperature T0 • A linear part (1st order) TC1 • A quadratic part (2nd order) TC2 The following formula describes the sensitivity dependent on the temperature in relation to the sensitivity at the reference temperature T0: S TC ( T ) = 1 + TC 1 × ( T – T 0 ) + TC 2 × ( T – T0 ) 2 For more information, see also the signal-processing flow in Figure 6. The full temperature compensation of the complete system is done in two steps: 1. Pre-calibration in the Infineon final test The parameters TC1, TC2, T0 are set to maximally flat temperature characteristics regarding the Hall probe and internal analog processing parts. 2. Overall system calibration The typical coefficients TC1, TC2, T0 of the magnetic circuitry are programmed. This can be done deterministically, as the algorithm of the DSP is fully reproducible. The final setting of the TC1, TC2, T0 values depend on the pre-calibrated values.

It is dependent on the range setting (e.g 100 mT). S0 is the nominal sensitivity of the Hall probe times the Gain factor set in the EEPROM. STC is the temperature-dependent sensitivity factor calculated by the DSP. STCHall is the temperature behavior of the Hall probe. The pre-calibration at Infineon is performed such that the following condition is met: S TC ( T J – T 0 ) × S TCHall ( T J ) ≈ 1 Within the application, an additional factor BIN(T) / BIN(T0) will be given due to the magnetic system. STC then needs to be modified to STCnew so that the following condition is satisfied: B IN ( T ) -------------------× S TCnew ( T ) × S TCHall ( T ) ≈ S TC ( T ) × S TCHall ( T ) ≈ 1 B IN ( T 0 ) Therefore, the new sensitivity parameters STCnew can be calculated from the precalibrated setup STC using the relationship: B IN ( T ) -------------------× S TCnew ( T ) ≈ S TC ( T ) B IN ( T 0 ) Data Sheet 26 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998P Calibration 9 Calibration For the calibration of the sensor, a special hardware interface to a PC is required. All calibration and setting bits can be temporarily written into a Random Access Memory (RAM). This allows the EEPROM to remain untouched during the entire calibration process, since the number of the EEPROM programming cycles is limited. Therefore, this temporary setup (using the RAM only) does not stress the EEPROM. The digital signal processing is completely deterministic. This allows a two-point calibration in one step without iterations. After measuring the Hall output signal for the two end points, the signal processing parameters Gain and Offset can be calculated.

Data Sheet 27 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998P Calibration 9.1 Calibration Data Memory When the MEMLOCK bits are programmed (two redundant bits), the memory content is frozen and may no longer be changed. Furthermore, the programming interface is locked out and the chip remains in the application mode only. This prevents accidental programming due to environmental influences. Row Parity Bits Column Parity Bits User-Calibration Bits Pre-Calibration Bits Figure 9 EEPROM Map A matrix parity architecture allows automatic correction of any single-bit error. Each row is protected by a row parity bit. The sum of bits set including this bit must be an odd number (ODD PARITY). Each column is additionally protected by a column parity bit. Each bit in the even positions (0, 2, etc.) of all lines must sum up to an even number (EVEN PARITY), and each bit in the odd positions (1,3, etc.) must have an odd sum (ODD PARITY). The parity column must have an even sum (EVEN PARITY). This mechanism of different parity calculations also protects against many block errors such as erasing a full line or even the whole EEPROM. When modifying the application bits (such as Gain, Offset, TC, etc.) the parity bits must be updated. As for the column bits, the pre-calibration area must be read out and considered for correct parity generation as well. Note: A specific programming algorithm must be followed to ensure data retention. A detailed separate programming specification is available on request.

This allows • Communication with high data reliability • The bus-type connection of several sensors and separate programming via the OUT pin 9.3 Data transfer protocol The data transfer protocol is described in a separate document (User Programming Description), available on request. 9.4 Programming of sensors with common supply lines In many automotive applications, two sensors are used to measure the same parameter. This redundancy allows the operation to continue in an emergency mode. If both sensors use the same power supply lines, they can be programmed together in parallel.
