It possesses active error correction circuitry which virtually eliminates the offset errors normally associated with analog Hall Effect devices. All magnetic response functions of the MLX90215 are fully programmable for even greater versatility. The VOQ (VOUT@ B=0), sensitivity, direction of slope and the magnitude of sensitivity drift over temperature, are all programmable. The ratiometric output voltage is proportional to the supply voltage. When using the supply voltage as a reference for an A/D converter, fluctuations of ±10% in supply voltage will not affect accuracy. When programmed for a conventional sensitivity (with a positive gain), the voltage at the output will increase as a South magnetic field is applied to the branded face of the MLX90215. Conversely, the voltage output will decrease in the presence of a North magnetic field. The MLX90215 has a sensitivity drift of less than +1% error, and VOQ stability drift of less than +0.4% error, over a broad temperature range. Note: Static sensitive device, please observe ESD precautions. 3901090215 Rev 007 Page 1 9/09/03 MLX90215 Precision Programmable Linear Hall Effect Sensor MLX90215 Electrical Specifications DC Operating Parameters TA = -40oC to 150oC, VDD = 5.0V (Unless otherwise specified) Parameter Min Typ Max Units Supply Voltage Symbol Test Conditions VDD Operating 4.5 5.0 5.5 V Supply Current IDD B = 0, VDD = 5V, IOUT = 0 2.5 4.0 6.5 mA Output Current (1) IOUT VDD = 5V + 10% -2 - 2 mA Quiescent Output Voltage (2) VOQ 10-Bit Programmable, B = 0 0.5 - 4.5 V Output Voltage (1) VOH VDD = 5V, IOUT = -2mA 4.50 4.65 Output Voltage (1) VOL VDD = 5V, IOUT = 2mA Sampling Rate fSAMP RoughGain @ Max and Min Bandwidth (3) BW RoughGain @ Min Bandwidth (3) BW RoughGain @ Max 0.130 - kHz Step Response Time (6) TRMIN RoughGain @ Min 25 - µs Step Response Time (6) TRMIN RoughGain @ Max 250 Offset Voltage Adjustment Resolution Offset Voltage Drift over Temperature Offset Voltage Drift (2) over Temperature Range of Sensitivity (7) ∆VOQ B = 0, TA = 25oC , 1/2 Vdd = 1 B = 0, TA = 25oC , 1/2 Vdd = 0 o o ∆VOQ/∆T B = 0, TA = -40 C to 150 C S < 100mV/mT & VOQ > 0.75V o o ∆VOQ/∆T B = 0, TA = -40 C to 150 C S > 100mV/mT & VOQ < 0.75V s 13-Bit Programmable -1.5 -6.0 -20 - Peak to Peak Noise (4) Output Resistance Sensitivity Drift(5) 4 V 0.35 0.50 V - 40 kHz - 1.300 kHz µs - 1.5 6.0 20 mV mV mV -40 - 40 mV 5 - 140 mV/mT 8 25 60 mV ROUT Ω 6 o TA = 25 C -1 - 1 % Notes: (1) If output current and voltage specifications are exceeded, linearity will be degraded. (2) If VOQ is programmed beyond these limits, the temperature compensation may become a problem at high temperatures. It is not recommended to program values of VOQ below 1V or above 4V when sensitivity exceeds 100 mV/mT. Temperature instability can occur on some devices under these conditions. (3) Bandwidth is related to the sample rate and ROUGHGAIN. Bandwidth is estimated by (sample rate / 30) (4) Peak to Peak Noise is a function of ROUGHGAIN setting. See page 5, Peak to Peak Noise versus Sensitivity. (5) Sensitivity drift is independent of other parameters and does not include individual tolerances (∆VOQ or ∆VOQ/∆T). The tolerance for sensitivity ±1% of its initial value. This does not include tolerance stack-up. (6) If the step input occurs in the middle of a sample interval, the small signal response delay will double. For ROUGHGAIN values less than or equal to 3, response time may be limited by the slew rate.

The MLX90215 programming is done through the output pin, by changing supply voltage levels. Please note that the VDD is raised to approximately 13V and 18V during programming. Any connected components must also tolerate this voltage excursion. When the supply voltage is at 4.5V to 5.5V, the output behaves normally. If the supply voltage is raised to 13V, the output then behaves as an input, or LOAD mode, allowing the 37-bit word to be clocked in. All data is loaded through a single line, with no dedicated clock signal. Clock and data are integrated into one signal which is initiated with the beginning of the LOAD sequence, then clocked with the positive edge of each bit. Variables are changed with the PC software and loaded into the temporary register of the device (RAM) via the timings of the programmer’s microcontroller. Data can be loaded as many times as desired while in LOAD mode. Once a word is loaded, results are checked by observing the output voltage. This can be done with an external Voltmeter attached directly to pin 4 of the device, or with the internal ADC of the programmer. Once the desired program is loaded, the word can be “Zapped” permanently into ROM. This is done when the supply voltage rises above 18V, or ZAP mode, creating enough current to “Zap” 31 zener diodes which correspond to the temporary register. The ZAP function is a one-time function and cannot be erased. The above description is only for reference. The voltage levels and data transfer rates are completely controlled by the ASIC programmer.

With the HALFVDD function disabled, the VOQ can be programmed within a range of 10% to 90% VDD with about 5mV per step resolution. With the HALFVDD function enabled, the device may be programmed within a 2V to 3V window with less than 1mV per step resolution Programming the Sensitivity (Gain) The sensitivity is programmed with a ROUGHGAIN and a FINEGAIN adjustment. The ROUGHGAIN is adjusted by utilizing three bits, or 8 increments. The FINEGAIN is programmed with 10 bits or 1024 increments. The sensitivity can be programmed within a range of 5mV/mT to 140mV/mT. Another 1-bit function allows the direction of the sensitivity to be reversed. The INVERTSLOPE function, when activated, will cause the Voltage output of the MLX90215 to decrease in the presence of a South magnetic field, and to increase in the presence of a North magnetic field. Table 2 expresses examples of sensitivity resulting from programming ROUGH GAIN and FINE GAIN codes, with the INVERT SLOPE function turned off. Note: Tables 1 and 2 are examples how various codes affect the device. Output voltage will vary slightly from device to device. Use these tables for reference only.

Expressed in (Parts Per Million per Degree Celcius) ppm/oC. TC = Sens T 1 − Sens T 2 1 ppm ∗ ∗ 10 6 o Sens 25 T1 − T 2 C SensT1 = Sensitivity measured at Temperature 1 (T1) SensT2 = Sensitivity measured at Temperature 2 (T2) Sens25 = Initial Sensitivity measured at 25oC Programming the Temperature Compensation The MLX90215 has a 5-bit (32 step) programmable adjustment that changes it’s sensitivity drift over a given temperature range. By adjusting the TC code the sensitivity can be programmed to increase as temperature increases to counteract the decrease in magnetic flux most magnets display over temperature. For example a SmCo (Samarium Cobalt) magnet has a temperature coefficient of approximately -300 ppm/oC. The MLX90215 can be programmed with a TC of 300 ppm/oC to counteract the TC of the magnet and greatly improve linearity in the application over temperature.

Also note in Table 3, the overlap in TC codes. The numbers in the table represent typical results and are for reference only. For accurate results the TC code must be determined experimentally. This TC code map applies to MLX90215’s with a first line brand showing “215DB” Special Note The MLX90215 programmed with a zero TC code (default) has a typical TC value between the range of – 300 to –600 ppm/oC. This means sensitivity will decrease slightly as temperature increases. The slightly negative initial TC value allows the MLX90215 to be accurately programmed up to 0 TC. Almost all magnets have a naturally negative TC code. The natural TC of a magnet added with the initial negative TC value of the MLX90215 could degrade linearity over a large temperature span. Using a TC code of 6, 7, or 8 will give the MLX90215 a slightly positive TC code. Previous revisions of the MLX90215 with second line brand of “15AXX” or “15DXX” should refer to factory for TC code maps.

These are not the absolute programming limits of the device. 1.) Voq is best programmed in the absence of any magnetic influence and to voltages closest to 1/2 VDD, where temperature drift will be +/-0.4% or less. It is not recommended to use VOQ values close to 0 volts or VDD when programming extremely high sensitivity (> 100 mV/mT) values. Temperature instability may be observed on some devices under these conditions. 2.) Best linearity of sensitivity is obtained when VOQ i s programmed at 1/2VDD. This is with the 1/2VDD function enabled. 3.) Best linearity of sensitivity is obtained when the gain is programmed between 5mV/mT and 100mV/mT. 4.) Best temperature stability is realized when the temperature compensation function is programmed to zero ppm/oC. 5.) The Test/Readback pin is for diagnostic use only. This pin is normally tied to GND.

Current flowing through a conductor can produce a proportional magnet field. The MLX90215 can then produce an output voltage proportional to the current. Using the programmable gain and offset function the output of the MLX90215 can be adjusted to sense a wide range of current allowing for a flexible design. Slotted Torroid Example Assuming infinite permeabilty of the core, the magnetic field through the air gap produced by a single wire turn is given by equation 2 Equation 2 B= I uo lg Where: I = current in Amperes B = magnetic field in Tesla lg = length of air gap in Meters uo = Permeability of free space (4π10-7H/m) This equation is a close estimate for the field in the air gap, but does not take into account magnetic losses in the core, fringing effects, and mechanical tolerances of the air gap. The programmable MLX90215 can be adjusted to compensate for these errors simplifying the design. The temperature compensation of MLX90215 can also be adjusted to counteract temperature losses of core. Magnetic Suppliers: Elna Ferrites Technologies Inc Eastern Components Fair Rite Products Corp For sensing a current ±100A, with an air gap of 2mm equation 2 yields a magnetic field range of ±63mT. The output range of the MLX90215 is 0.5V to 4.5V (4V full scale). Equations 3a and 3b yield a sensitivity of 32mV/ mT and a Voq of 2.5V. Equation 3 a) S = 4000mV/ 126mT b) Voq = 4V/2 + 0.5V The resulting gain of the current sensor is 20mV/A with an offset of 2.5V. For best results it is recommend that MLX90215 be programmed with a Voq of 50% Vdd 1/2 Vdd bit set. 3901090215 Rev 007 Page 9 9/09/03 MLX90215 Precision Programmable Linear Hall Effect Sensor Reliability Information Melexis devices are classified and qualified regarding suitability for infrared, vapor phase and wave soldering with usual (63/37 SnPb-) solder (melting point at 183degC).
