PRODUCTION DATA
One way to set up the BOP is to connect a resistor to the ADJ pin. The device generates a fixed current that is injected in the external resistor, and this generates a voltage that represents the BOP value. The relationship between BOP and resistance is defined as BOP(mT) = RADJ(kΩ) for the A1D and A1Z device versions, or BOP(mT) = RADJ(kΩ) × 4 for the D1E version. Note that the generated current on the ADJ pin is only present when the device is in active mode and turns OFF when the device is in sleep mode. As a result, the voltage on the ADJ pin is only present when the device is in active mode, which is a small duration compared to the time the device is in sleep mode.
The device BOP must be set to any value between 2mT and 15mT (A1D, A1Z versions) or 8mT to 60mT (D1E version). RADJ must be set between 2kΩ and 15kΩ to operate in this range. Operating above and beyond those limits is not recommended and can result in either getting the wrong threshold set or locking up the device into a specific state without the possibility of exiting.
Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6 illustrate the relationship between BOP and RADJ.
