7.3.4.1 AMR Output Parameters

The single-ended output signals SIN_P, SIN_N, COS_P and COS_N are shown in Figure 7-4. For TMAG6184A these signals are optimized to cover 3V peak to peak in single ended mode whereas for TMAG6184B the output signal is nominally 2V peak-to-peak in single-ended mode when operated in magnetic saturation. The common-mode voltage (VCM) of the individual signals is half of the supply voltage (VCC /2). For single-ended signals, VOUT is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum output voltage for a rotating magnetic field. Use Equation 2 to calculate VOUT_SIN_P.

Equation 2. VOUT_SIN_P=VSIN_P(max)–VSIN_P(min)

where

  • VSIN_P (min) is the minimum output voltage across the full magnetic angle range
  • VSIN_P (max) is the maximum output voltage across the full magnetic angle range

The diagnostic band shown in AMR Sensor Outputs Magnetic Response indicates that the output signals are outside normal operating range and indicates a presence of fault.

TMAG6184 AMR Differential Ended Output SignalsFigure 7-7 AMR Differential Ended Output Signals

The differential sine and cosine output signals shown in Figure 7-7 are generated from the corresponding sine and cosine single-ended outputs. Use Equation 3 and Equation 4 to calculate the differential voltages.

Equation 3. Vsin_diff=VSIN_P–VSIN_N
Equation 4. Vcos_diff=VCOS_P–VCOS_N

The offset of the differential signals is the average of the maximum and minimum voltages of the sine or cosine signals. Use Equation 5 and Equation 6 to calculate the offsets for the sine and cosine signals.

Equation 5. Voffset_sin=Vsin_diff(max)+Vsin_diff(min) 2 
Equation 6. Voffset_cos=Vcos_diff(max)+Vcos_diff(min) 2

For single-ended signals, the offset is the common-mode voltage (VCM).

Use Equation 7 to calculate the differential offset for sine and cosine channels at any given temperature, TA.

Equation 7. Voffset= Voffset, room × ( 1+Voffset_TC × (TA–25oC))

where

  • VOffset_TC is the temperature drift coefficient of the offset
  • VOffset_room is the room temperature offset

Use Equation 8 and Equation 9 to calculate the amplitudes of the differential signals.

Equation 8. Asin_diff=Vsin_diff(max)–Vsin_diff(min) 2
Equation 9. Acos_diff=Vcos_diff(max)–Vcos_diff(min) 2

Use Equation 10 to calculate the amplitude for single-ended signals.

Equation 10. Asin_p=Vsin_p(max)–Vsin_p(min) 2

Amplitude asynchronism refers to the amplitude mismatch error between sine and cosine channels. Use Equation 11 to calculate the amplitude mismatch error.

Equation 11. k=1–(Acos_diff Asin_diff)

The sine and cosine output signals are typically out-of-phase by 90 degrees. However, the sine and cosine outputs from the sensor can be different than the ideal 90 degrees if an internal phase error occurs owing to sensor and other on chip circuitry non-idealities. This error is referred to as the orthogonality error. This error is defined as the angle error between the zero crossing of the cosine output and maximum value of the sine outputs.

The hysteresis error ( ANGhyst) refers to the largest angle error difference between a clockwise rotation and a counter-clockwise rotation.

For the AMR sensor, the orthogonality error and the hysteresis errors are negligible.
