The TMAG3001 IC is based on the Hall-effect technology and precision mixed signal circuitry from Texas Instruments. The output signals (raw X, Y, Z magnetic data and temperature data) are accessible through the I2C interface.
The IC consists of the following functional and
building blocks:
- The Power Management and Oscillator block contains a low-power oscillator, biasing
circuitry and a fast oscillator.
- The sensing and temperature measurement block contains the Hall biasing, Hall sensors
with multiplexers, noise filters, integrator circuit, temperature sensor, and the ADC.
The Hall-effect sensor data and temperature data are multiplexed through the same
ADC.
- The Interface block contains the I2C control circuitry, ESD protection
circuits, and all the I/O circuits. The TMAG3001 supports multiple
I2C read frames along with integrated cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
