The sensor provides a digital SENT signal based on the SAE J2716 standard, which consists of a sequence of pulses. Each transmission has a constant number of nibbles containing the Hall value, the temperature, and status information of the sensor. The output stage is an open-drain driver pulling the output pin to low only. Therefore, the high level needs to be obtained by an external pull-up resistor. This output type has the advantage that the receiver may use an even lower supply voltage (e.g. 3.3 V). In this case the pull-up resistor must be connected to the given receiver supply. The IC is produced in BiCMOS technology with high voltage capability, and it also has reverse-polarity protection. Data Sheet 9 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S General Digital signal processing using a 16-bit DSP architecture together with digital temperature compensation guarantee excellent long-time stability compared to analog compensation methods. While the overall resolution is 16 bits, some internal stages work with resolutions up to 20 bits. 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 • The chopped Hall-effect cell and continuous-time A/D conversion ensure a very low and stable magnetic offset • A programmable low-pass filter to reduce 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 represented by the data nibbles of the SENT protocol Data Sheet 10 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S 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 can be set to both positive and negative values OUT12 / OUT16 B (mT) 50 4095 / 100 65535 0 0 -50 OUT12 / OUT16 B (mT) 4095 / 65535 0 0 -100 Example 1: - Bipolar Figure 4 Data Sheet B (mT) OUT12 / OUT16 200 4095 / 65535 0 0 -200 Example 2: - Unipolar - Big offset Example 3: - Bipolar - Inverted (neg. gain) Examples of Operation 11 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S Maximum Ratings 3 Maximum Ratings Table 3 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Limit Values min.

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 bandwidth (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 16 bits (see Chapter 13) and feeds the Protocol Generation stage Temperature Compensation (Details are listed in Chapter 8) • The output signal of the temperature cell is also A/D converted Data Sheet 18 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S Signal Processing • The temperature is normalized by subtraction of the reference temperature T0 value (zero point of the quadratic function) • The linear path is multiplied with the TC1 value • In the quadratic path, the temperature difference to T0 is squared and multiplied with the TC2 value • Both path outputs are added together and multiplied with 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 within 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 ADC value. The bandwidth can be set to any of 8 values.

Data Sheet 25 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S Temperature Compensation 8 Temperature Compensation The magnetic field strength of a magnet depends on the temperature. This material constant is specific for the different magnet types. Therefore, the TLE4998S offers a second-order temperature compensation polynomial, by which the Hall signal output is multiplied in the DSP. 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 + TC1 × ( T – T 0 ) + TC2 × ( T – T 0 ) 2 For more information, please refer to 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 with respect to 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) is 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 27 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S 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 to be performed 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.

Furthermore, the programming interface is locked out and the chip remains in application mode only, preventing 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 system 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 redundancy makes it possible to continue operation in an emergency mode. If both sensors use the same power supply lines, they can be programmed together in parallel.

The main difference between the standard version and its implementation in the TLE4998 is the usage of an open drain instead of a push-pull output. 13.1 • • • • • Basic SENT Protocol Definition The single edge is defined by a 9-µs low pulse on the output, followed by the high time defined in the protocol (nominal values, may vary by tolerance of internal RC oscillator and the programming, see Section 13.2). All values are multiples of a 3-µs unit time frame concept. A transfer consists of the following parts:A synchronization period of 168 µs (in parallel, a new sample is calculated) A status nibble of 36-81 µs Three data nibbles of 36-81 µs (data packet 1 with a length of 108-243 µs) Three data nibbles of 36-81 µs (data packet 2 with a length of 108-243 µs) A CRC nibble of 36-81 µs Sensor processing compensate the sample transfer compensated sample Output pin (physical) Next sampe Sampling point: values taken from decimation filter register Transferred data (logical) sync. period Figure 13 Status nibble Data nibble 1 high Data nibble 1 mid Data nibble 2 low CRC nibble SENT Frame The CRC checksum calculation includes the status nibble and the data nibbles. This leads to a minimum transfer time of 456 µs, and a maximum transfer time of 816 µs per sample. It is important to know that the sampling time (when values are taken for temperature compensation) here is always defined as the beginning of the synchronization period; during this period, the resulting data is always calculated from scratch. Data Sheet 34 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S SENT Output Definition (SAE J2716) As only one Hall value needs to be transferred within one sequence, the second data package is divided into two parts (see Table 20): • First, the remaining 4 LSBs of the Hall signals are transferred in the first data nibble. This means the receiver may use the whole 16-bit data available in the sensor when reading and using all 4 nibbles transferred. • Second, the temperature is transferred as an 8-bit value. The value is transferred in unsigned integer format and corresponds to -55°C to 200°C. For example, transferring the value 55 corresponds to 0°C. The temperature is additional information and although it is not calibrated, may be used for a plausibility check, for example. Table 18 Mapping of Temperature Value Junction Temperature Typ. Decimal Value from Sensor Note - 55°C 0 0°C 55 25°C 80 200°C 255 1) Theoretical lower limit1) Theoretical upper limit1) Theoretical range of temperature values, not operating temperature range The status nibble as defined in the SAE standard has two free bits (the LSBs or first and second bit). These bits contain the selected magnetic range of the sensor and therefore allow the received data to be interpreted easily. As no serial data is transferred with the IC, the remaining bits of the status nibble are not required. The MSB (fourth bit) notifying a start of a serial transmission and the data bit (or third bit) would be kept zero. Thus, these bits are used in a more suitable way for this sensor, as shown in Table 20. In case of startup- or supply overvoltage condition, the open-drain stage is disabled (high ohmic) and the corresponding status bits are set. After VDD has returned to the normal operating range, this status information will be transmitted within the first SENT transmission. In case of uncorrectable EEPROM failure, the open-drain stage is disabled and is kept in “switched off” state permanently (high ohmic/ sensor defect). The fourth bit is switched to “1” for the first data package transferred after a reset. This allows the receiver to detect low-voltage situations or EMC problems of the sensor. The third bit is set to “1” in case of an over-voltage condition of the IC. This signals that a sensor is still functioning, but its performance may be out of specification. It enables an early warning for high supply voltage, before the sensor completely stops functioning (e.g. VDD > 17.5 V, see Chapter 7.1). Data Sheet 35 V 1.0, 2008-07 TLE4998S SENT Output Definition (SAE J2716) 13.2 Unit Time Setup The basic SENT protocol unit time granularity is defined as 3 µs. Every timing is a multiple of this basic time unit. To achieve more flexibility, trimming of the unit time can be used to: • Allow a calibration trim within a timing error of less than 20% clock error (as given in SAE standard) • Allow a modification of the unit time for small speed adjustments This enables a setup of different unit times, even if the internal RC oscillator varies by ±20%. Of course, timing values that are too low could clash with timing requirements of the application and should therefore be avoided, but in principle it is possible to adjust the timer unit for a more precise protocol timing.
