They operate with ambient temperatures from −40 °C up to 150 °C. The HAL855 is available in the very small leaded package TO92UT-1 and TO92UT-2. Programmable Linear Hall-Effect Sensor with Arbitrary Output Characteristic Release Note: Revision bars indicate significant changes to the previous edition. 1. Introduction The HAL855 is a member of the Micronas family of programmable linear Hall sensors. As an extension to the HAL8x5 family, the HAL855 offers an arbitrary output characteristic and individual programming of different sensors which are in parallel to the same supply voltage. The HAL855 is an universal magnetic field sensor based on the Hall effect. The IC is designed and produced in sub-micron CMOS technology and can be used for angle or distance measurements if combined with a rotating or moving magnet. The major characteristics like magnetic field range, output characteristic, output format, sensitivity, shift (offset), PWM period and the temperature coefficients are programmable in a non-volatile memory. The output characteristic can be set with 32 setpoints. The HAL855 features a temperature-compensated Hall plate with choppered offset compensation, an A/D-converter, digital signal processing, an EEPROM memory with redundancy and lock function for the calibration data, a serial interface for programming the EEPROM, and protection devices at all pins. The internal digital signal processing is of great benefit because analog offsets, temperature shifts, and mechanical stress do not degrade the sensor accuracy. The HAL855 is programmable by means of modulating the supply voltage. No additional programming pin is needed. The easy programmability allows a 2-point calibration by adjusting the output signal directly to the input signal (like mechanical angle, distance, or current). Individual adjustment of each sensor during the customer’s manufacturing process is possible. With this calibration procedure, the tolerances of the sensor, the magnet, and the mechanical positioning can be compensated in the final assembly. This offers a lowcost alternative for all applications that presently need mechanical adjustment or laser trimming for calibrating the system. In addition, the temperature compensation of the Hall IC can be fitted to all common magnetic materials, by programming first and second order temperature coefficients of the Hall sensor sensitivity. This enables operation over the full temperature range with high accuracy. The calculation of the individual sensor characteristics and the programming of the EEPROM memory can easily be done with a PC and the application kit from 1.1. Major Applications Due to the sensor’s versatile programming characteristics, the HAL855 is the optimal system solution for applications such as: – contactless potentiometers, – rotary position measurement (e.g., pedal sensor), – fluid level measurement, – linear position detection, and – magnetic field detection. 1.2.

Marking Code The HAL855 has a marking on the package surface (branded side). This marking includes the name of the sensor and the temperature range. 1.6. Solderability and Welding Soldering DATA SHEET During soldering reflow processing and manual reworking, a component body temperature of 260°C should not be exceeded. Type A HAL855 855A Temperature Range K 855K Welding Device terminals should be compatible with laser and resistance welding. Please note that the success of the welding process is subject to different welding parameters which will vary according to the welding technique used. A very close control of the welding parameters is absolutely necessary in order to reach satisfying results. Micronas, therefore, does not give any implied or express warranty as to the ability to weld the component. 1.4. Operating Junction Temperature Range (TJ) The Hall sensors from Micronas are specified to the chip temperature (junction temperature TJ). A: TJ = −40 °C to +170 °C K: TJ = −40 °C to +140 °C The relationship between ambient temperature (TA) and junction temperature is explained in Section 4.5. on page 29. 1.7.

It is possible to program several sensors individually if they are in parallel to the same supply and ground line. The selection of each sensor is done via its output pin. Internal temperature compensation circuitry and the choppered offset compensation enables operation over the full temperature range with minimal changes in accuracy and high offset stability. The circuitry also rejects offset shifts due to mechanical stress from the package. The non-volatile memory consists of redundant EEPROM cells. In addition, the sensor IC is equipped with devices for overvoltage and reversevoltage protection at all pins. 2. Functional Description 2.1. General Function The HAL855 is a monolithic integrated circuit which provides an output signal proportional to the magnetic flux through the Hall plate. The external magnetic field component perpendicular to the branded side of the package generates a Hall voltage. The Hall IC is sensitive to magnetic north and south polarity. This voltage is converted to a digital value, processed in the Digital Signal Processing Unit (DSP) according to the settings of the EEPROM registers, converted to the different digital output formats (PWM and Biphase-M serial protocol) and provided by an open-drain output transistor stage. The function and the parameters for the DSP are explained in Section 2.2. on page 9. The setting of the LOCK register disables the programming of the EEPROM memory for all time. This register cannot be reset. As long as the LOCK register is not set, the output characteristic can be adjusted by programming the EEPROM registers. The IC is addressed by modulating the supply voltage (see Fig. 2–1). After detecting a command, the sensor reads or writes the memory and answers with a digital signal on the output pin. The output is switched off during the communication.

During further processing, the digital signal is calculated based on the values of slope, shift, and the defined output characteristic. The result is converted to the different digital output formats (PWM and Biphase-M) and stabilized by a open-drain output transistor stage. The DIGITAL OUTPUT value at any given magnetic field depends on the settings of the magnetic field range, the low-pass filter, TC, TCSQ values and the programmed output characteristic. The DIGITAL OUTPUT range is min. 0 to max. 4095. 2.2. Digital Signal Processing and EEPROM The DSP is the major part of this sensor and performs the signal conditioning. The parameters for the DSP are stored in the EEPROM registers. The details are shown in Fig. 2–3 on page 8. Terminology: SLOPE: Slope: name of the register or register value name of the parameter The EEPROM registers consist of three groups: Group 1 contains the registers for the adaption of the sensor to the magnetic system: MODE for selecting the magnetic field range and filter frequency, TC and TCSQ for the temperature characteristics of the magnetic sensitivity. The parameters SLOPE and SHIFT are used for the individual calibration of the sensor in the magnetic cirucit. – The parameter Shift corresponds to the output signal at B = 0 mT. – The parameter Slope defines the magnetic sensitivity. Group 2 contains the registers for defining the output characteristics: OUTPUT FORMAT, OUTPUT PERIOD or OUTPUT BITTIME, SLEW RATE and OUTPUT CHARACTERISTIC. The shape of the output signal is determined by the output characteristic, which, in turn, is defined by the 32 setpoints of the sensor. A value for each of the setpoints must be defined. The setpoints are distributed evenly along the magnetic field axis allowing linear interpolation between the 32 setpoints (see Fig. 2–4). Group 3 contains the PARTNUMBER, the Micronas registers, and LOCK for the locking of all registers. After locking, the PARTNUMBER register is only available in Biphase-M output mode. The Micronas registers are programmed and locked during production and are read-only for the customer. These registers are used for oscillator frequency trimming and several other special settings. An external magnetic field generates a Hall voltage on the Hall plate. The A/D-converter converts the amplified positive or negative Hall voltage (operates with magnetic north and south poles at the branded side of the package) to a digital value. The digital signal is filtered in the internal low-pass filter and manipulated according to the settings stored in the EEPROM. The digital value after signal processing is readable in the DIGITAL OUTPUT register. Depending on the programmable magnetic range of the Hall IC, the Note: During application design, it should be taken into consideration that DIGITAL OUTPUT should not saturate in the operational range of the specific application. % 100 90 PWM 80 70 60 50 40 30 HAL 855 Logarithmic 20 10 0 0 4 8 12 16 20 Linear Sine 24 28 32 Logarithmic Setpoint Linear Fig. 2–4: Example for different Sine output characteristics Micronas Nov. 26, 2008; DSH000149_003EN 9 HAL855 Mode The MODE register consists of four “sub”-registers defining the magnetic and output behavior of the sensor. The RANGE bits are the three lowest bits of the MODE register; they define the magnetic field range of the A/D converter. The next three bits (FILTER) define the −3 dB frequency of the digital low pass filter. The next sub-register is the FORMAT register, and it defines the different output formats as described below. This sub-register also consists of 3 bits. The last three MSBs define the OUTPUT PERIOD of the PWM signal. Output Format DATA SHEET The HAL855 provides two different output formats: a PWM and Biphase-M output. PMW output is a pulse width modulated output. The signal is defined by the ratio of pulse width to pulse period. The Biphase-M output is a serial protocol. A logical “0” is coded as no output level change within the bit time. A logical “1” is coded as an output level change between 50% and 80% of the bit time. After each bit, an output level change occurs (see Section 3.6.1. on page 24). Table 2–3: OUTPUT FORMAT register definition Range Table 2–1: RANGE register definition Output Format Magnetic Field Range −30 mT...30 mT −40 mT...40 mT −60 mT...60 mT −75 mT...75 mT −80 mT...80 mT −90 mT...90 mT −100 mT...100 mT −150 mT...150 mT Bit Setting PWM 0 Biphase-M 4 Biphase-M (test) 5 1 6 2 7 3 2) 1) Bit Setting 2 41) 52) In case of OUTPUT FORMAT = 4 the continuous Biphase-M output will be active after locking the device. In order to test the Biphase-M output with non-locked sensors OUTPUT FORMAT = 5 has to be used. writing OUTPUT FORMAT = 5 will activate the Biphase-M output for test purpose. The test can be deactivated by switching the device off.

The Slope is programmable between −4 and 4. The register can be changed in steps of 0.00049. Slope = 1 corresponds to an increase of the output signal by 100% if the digital value at the A/D-converter output increases by 2048. For all calculations, the digital value after the digital signal processing is used. This digital information is readable from the DIGITAL OUTPUT register. Output Bittime The OUTPUT BITTIME register defines the bit time of the Biphase-M output signal. OUTPUT BITTIME is “sub”-register of the SPECIAL CUSTOMER register. Table 2–5: OUTPUT BITTIME register definition Biphase-M Output Bit Time 40 μs 84 µs 168 µs 320 µs 700 µs 1.6 ms 3.2 ms 6.4 ms Bit Setting 0 1 Shift 2 3 11 4 5 7 Part Number In case of Biphase-M output, a part number can be defined. This part number will be sent during power-on of the sensor if the PARTNUMBER ENABLE bit is set. Afterwards, the sensor will send the digital value corresponding to the applied magnetic field. – The PARTNUMBER ENABLE bit is part of the SPECIAL CUSTOMER register. – The OUTPUT PERIOD register defines the time interval for which the part number is sent. The SHIFT register contains the parameter for the adder in the DSP. Shift is the output signal without external magnetic field (B = 0 mT) and programmable from −100% up to 100%. For calibration in the system environment, a 2-point adjustment procedure is recommended. The suitable Slope and Shift values for each sensor can be calculated individually by this procedure. Note: Setting the Biphase-M bit time to 40 μs simultaneously switches the programming telegram to the same bit time. Hence after writing the OUTPUT BITTIME register the timing of the programming device has to be set accordingly. TC and TCSQ The temperature dependence of the magnetic sensitivity can be adapted to different magnetic materials in order to compensate for the change of the magnetic strength with temperature. The adaption is done by programming the TC (Linear Temperature Coefficient) and the TCSQ registers (Quadratic Temperature Coefficient). Thereby, the slope and the curvature of the temperature dependence of the magnetic sensitivity can be matched to the magnet and the sensor assembly. As a result, the output signal characteristic can be fixed over the full temperature range. The sensor can compensate for linear temperature coefficients ranging from about −2100 ppm/K up to 600 ppm/K and quadratic coefficients from about −5 ppm/K2 to 5 ppm/K2. Please refer to Section 4.4. on page 28 for the recommended settings for different linear temperature coefficients. Output Characteristic The OUTPUT CHARACTERISTIC register defines the shape of the sensor output signal. It consists of 32 setpoints. Each setpoint can be set to values between 0 and 511 LSB. The output characteristic has to be monotonic increasing (Setpoint0 ≤ Setpoint1 ≤ SetpointN). LOCKR By setting this 1-bit register, all registers will be locked, and the sensor will no longer respond to any supply voltage modulation. This bit is active after the first power-off and power-on sequence after setting the LOCK bit. Warning: This register cannot be reset! Micronas Nov. 26, 2008; DSH000149_003EN 11 HAL855 Digital Output This 12-bit register delivers the actual digital value of the applied magnetic field after the signal processing. This register can only be read out, and it is the basis for the calibration procedure of the sensor in the system environment. Slew Rate DATA SHEET The SLEW RATE register is a “sub”-register of the CURRENTSOURCE register. The output fall time of the HAL855 depends on the SLEW RATE register setting and the external load circuit. Offset Correction The OFFSET CORRECTION register allows to adjust the digital offset of the built-in A/D-converter. The digital offset can be programmed to −3/4, −1/2, −1/4, 0, +1/4, +1/2, +3/4 of full-scale.

Table 2–8: Initial slope values 2.3. Calibration Procedure 2.3.1. General Procedure For calibration in the system environment, the application kit from Micronas is recommended. It contains the hardware for the generation of the serial telegram for programming (Programmer Board Version 5.1) and the corresponding software (PC85x) for the input of the register values. For the individual calibration of each sensor in the customer application, a two-point adjustment is recommended (see Fig. 2–5 on page 14 for an example). The calibration shall be done as follows: Step 1: Input of the registers which need not be adjusted individually The magnetic circuit, the magnetic material with its temperature characteristics, the filter frequency, the part number and the output format are given for this application. Therefore, the values of the following registers should be identical for all sensors of the customer application. – FILTER (according to the maximum signal frequency) – RANGE (according to the maximum magnetic field at the sensor position) – TC and TCSQ (depends on the material of the magnet and the other temperature dependencies of the application) – OUTPUT FORMAT (according to the application requirements) – OUTPUT PERIOD (according to the application requirements) – PARTNUMBER (in case Biphase-M output format is used) – OFFSET CORRECTION – SLEW RATE Write the appropriate settings into the HAL855 registers. −3 dB Frequency 80 160 500 1000 2000 SlopeINITIAL 0.2578 0.2578 0.1938 0.1938 0.3398 Step 3: Define Calibration Points For highest accuracy of the sensor, calibration points near the minimum and maximum input signal are recommended. Define nominal values DOUT1NOM and DOUT2NOM of the DIGITAL OUTPUT register at the calibration points 1 and 2, respectively. Note: Micronas software PC85x uses default settings DOUT1NOM = 0 and DOUT2NOM = 3968. The output is clamped to Setpoint 0 and Setpoint 31. In the case of “Linear Standard’”, Setpoint 0 corresponds to DIGITAL OUTPUT = 0, while Setpoint 31 corresponds to DIGITAL OUTPUT = 3968. Micronas Nov. 26, 2008; DSH000149_003EN 13 HAL855 Step 4: Calculation of Shift and Slope Set the system to calibration point 1 and read the register DIGITAL OUTPUT. The result is the value DOUT1. Now, set the system to calibration point 2, read the register DIGITAL OUTPUT, and get the value DOUT2. With these values, the settings for Sensitivity and Shift are calculated as: ( DOUT 2 NOM – DOUT 1 NOM ) Slope = Slope INITIAL × -------------------------------------------------------------------------( DOUT 2 – DOUT 1 ) DATA SHEET 2.3.2. Example: Calibration of an Angle Sensor The following description explains the calibration procedure using an angle sensor with a HAL855 as an example.

The sensor is now calibrated for the customer application. As long as the LOCK bit is not set, the calibration procedure can be applied repeatedly. Linear Sine Note: For a recalibration, the calibration procedure has to be started at the beginning (step 1). A new initialization is necessary, as the initial values for SlopeINITIAL, ShiftINITIAL and output characteristic are overwritten in step 4. 10 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 Angle 30 ° Step 5: Locking the Sensor The last step is activating the LOCK function with the “LOCK” command.

Set the system to calibration point 1 (angle 1 = 25°) 2. read the register DIGITAL OUTPUT. For our example, the result is DIGITAL OUTPUT = DOUT1 = 3291. 3. Set the system to calibration point 2 (angle 2 = −25°) 4. read the register DIGITAL OUTPUT again. For our example, the result is DIGITAL OUTPUT = DOUT2 = 985. With these measurements and the pre-programming of the sensor, the values for Slope and Shift are calculated as: 3968 S lope = ------------------------------- × 0.1938 = – 0.3335 ( 985 – 3291 ) Step 1: Input of the registers which need not be adjusted individually The register values for the following registers are given for all applications: – FILTER Select the filter frequency: 500 Hz – RANGE Select the magnetic field range: 40 mT – TC For this magnetic material: 6 – TCSQ For this magnetic material: 14 – OUTPUT FORMAT Select the output format: PWM – OUTPUT PERIOD Select the output format: 8 ms – PARTNUMBER For this example: 1 – OFFSET CORRECTION For this example: none – SLEW RATE For this example: 0 (fastest) Enter these values in the software, and use the “write and store” command for permanently writing the values in the registers. 100% ( 985 – 2048 ) × ( – 0.3335 ) Shift = ------------- × ⎛ 3968 – ------------------------------------------------------------- ⎞ = 52.22% ⎠ 4096 ⎝ 0.1938 Write the calculated values for Slope and Shift and a linear output characteristic ranging from 10% to 90% output duty cycle into the EEPROM memory. Software Calibration: Step 2: Initialize DSP – SHIFT Select Shift: 50% – SLOPE Select Slope: 0.1938 (see Table 2–8 on page 13) – OUTPUT CHARACTERISTIC Select output characteristic: ’Linear Standard’ Use the menu CALIBRATE from the PC software and enter the values for the registers which are not adjusted individually. Set the system to calibration point 1 (angle 1 = 25°), hit the button “Digital Output1”, set the system to calibration point 2 (angle 2 = −25°), hit the button “Digital Output2”, and hit the button “Calculate”. The software will then calculate the appropriate Shift and Slope. This calculation has to be done individually for each sensor. Now, select an output characteristic from the selection box “Output Characteristics” and then press the button “write and store” for programming the sensor. Step 3: Define Calibration Points The Micronas software PC85x uses default settings DOUT1NOM = 0 and DOUT2NOM = 3968. DOUT1NOM corresponds to the angle position −25°, DOUT2NOM to +25°. Step 4: Calculation of Shift and Slope There are two ways to calculate the values for Shift and Slope. Step 5: Locking the Sensor The last step is activating the LOCK function with the “LOCK” command. Please note that the LOCK function becomes effective after power-down and power-up of the Hall IC.

Specification of Biphase-M Output In case of output format Biphase-M, a continuous data stream is provided. It consists of: – 1 SYNC bit defining the bit time tp0, – 14 data bits (DAT) – 1 parity bit (DP) – a gap (signal quiescent) of 8 x tp0 The complete signal period is T = 24 x tp0. The signal quiescent level and the polarity of the SYNC bit is shown in Fig. 3–5. Data Bits (DAT) Definition of Biphase-M Pulses DATA SHEET A logical “0” is coded as no output level change within the bit time. A logical “1” is coded as an output level change between 50% and 80% of the bit time. After each bit, an output level change occurs. The 12 MSB of the 14 data bits (DAT) contain the digital output reading. Data Parity Bit (DP) This parity bit is “1” if the number of zeros within the 14 data bits is even. The parity bit is “0” if the number of zeros is odd. Type HAL855 SYNC Bit Polarity negative Note: If the part number output is activated the part number will be transmitted 2 times after power-up (see also (see Fig. 4–6 on page 31).

Use of Two HAL855 in Parallel Operation Two different HAL855 sensors which are operated in parallel to the same supply and ground line can be programmed individually. In order to select the IC which should be programmed, both Hall ICs are deactivated by the “Deactivate” command on the common supply line. Then, the appropriate IC is activated by an “Activate” pulse on its output. Only the activated sensor will react to all following read, write, and program commands. If the second IC has to be programmed, the “Deactivate” command is sent again, and the second IC can be selected. Detailed information can be found in the application note for the programmer board. 4. Application Notes Micronas recommends the following application circuits for HAL855. The first is recommended for applications with connection to a regualted 5 V supply; the second schould be used for applications connected dicrectly to the car battery and a pull-up to a 5 V line. For both circuits, it is recommended to connect a ceramic 4.7 nF capacitor between ground and the supply voltage, respectively, the output pin.

Measurement of a PWM Output Signal In case that the PWM output mode is activated, the magnetic field information is coded in the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The duty cycle is defined as the ratio between the high time “s” and the period “d” of the PWM signal (see Fig. 4–4). Fig. 4–2: Application circuit HAL855 for connection with car battery Note: The PWM signal is updated with the falling edge. Hence, for signal evaluation, the triggerlevel must be the falling edge of the PWM signal.

Measurement of a Biphase-M Output Signal In order to read the Biphase-M signal Micronas suggests to use a port interrupt which is configured to generate interrupts with both the falling and rising edge of the incoming signal. With each interrupt a timer shall be read out. The first two edges (SYNC bit) define the bit time tp0. Comparing subsequent timer readouts with tp0 successively decodes the Biphase-M pattern.

After the acknowledge pulse, a pulse on the VDD-line is created to start the charging of the EEPROM cells. Then, the supply voltage is kept constant during the charging time. To stop the charging, a further command is sent to the HAL855. This stopping command can be a further programming command or a read command (see Fig. 5–5 on page 36). – Lock a sensor To lock the EEPROM registers, the lock bit has to be programmed. Write the lock bit into the lock register. If the telegram is valid and the command has been processed, the sensor answers with an Acknowledge Bit (logical 0) on the output. In order to store the lock bit permanently, an erase and program command have to be sent to the sensor. The same procedure as mentioned above (Programming the EEPROM cells Fig. 5–5 on page 36). The EEPROM registers are locked after a power on reset. 5. Programming of the Sensor 5.1. Definition of Programming Telegram The sensor is addressed by modulating a serial telegram on the supply voltage. The sensor answers with a serial telegram on the output pin. The bits in the serial telegram have a different bit time for the VDD-line and the sensors answer. The bit time for the VDD-line is defined through the length of the Sync Bit at the beginning of each telegram. The bit time for the sensors answer is defined through the Acknowledge Bit. A logical “0” is coded as no output level change within the bit time. A logical “1” is coded as an output level change between 50% and 80% of the bit time. After each bit, an output level change occurs. 5.2. Definition of the Telegram Each telegram starts with the Sync Bit (logical 0), 3 bits for the Command (COM), the Command Parity Bit (CP), 4 bits for the Address (ADR), and the Address Parity Bit (AP). There are 4 kinds of telegrams: – Write a register (see Fig. 5–2 on page 35) After the AP Bit, follow 14 Data Bits (DAT) and the Data Parity Bit (DP). If the telegram is valid and the command has been processed, the sensor answers with an Acknowledge Bit (logical 0) on the output. Note: It is mandatory to lock the sensor before performing any kind of reliability tests or after the last programming of the sensor. The HAL855 has its full performance only after setting the LOCK bit. – Activate a sensor (see Fig. 5–4 on page 35) If more than one sensor is connected to the supply line, selection can be done by first deactivating all sensors. With an Activate pulse on the appropriate output pin, an individual sensor can be selected. All following commands will only be accepted from the activated sensor. Note: The sensor can only be programmed with programmer board version 5.1. If you have an older version, please contact Micronas or your supplier. – Read a register (see Fig. 5–3 on page 35) After evaluating this command, the sensor answers with the Acknowledge Bit, 14 Data Bits, and the Data Parity Bit on the output. – Programming the EEPROM cells In order to permanently store the written data into the EEPROM cells, an erase and program command have to be sent to the sensor. After the recognition of the erase and program commands, the HAL855 answers with an acknowledge pulse on its tr high-level logical 0 low-level tp0 tf tp0 or tp1 high-level logical 1 low-level tp1 tp0 or tp0 Fig. 5–1: Definition of logical 0 and 1 bit Micronas Nov. 26, 2008; DSH000149_003EN 33 HAL855 Table 5–1: Telegram parameters (All voltages are referenced to GND.)

Programming Information If the content of any register is to be changed, the desired value must first be written into the corresponding RAM register. Before reading out the RAM register again, the register value must be permanently stored in the EEPROM. Permanently storing a value in the EEPROM is done by first sending an ERASE command followed by sending a PROM command and a read command. The address within the ERASE and PROM commands is not important. ERASE and PROM act on all registers in parallel. If all HAL855 registers are to be changed, all writing commands can be sent one after the other, followed by sending one ERASE and PROM command at the end. During all communication sequences, the customer has to check if the communication with the sensor was successful. This means that the acknowledge and the parity bits sent by the sensor have to be checked by the customer. If the Micronas programmer board is used, the customer has to check the error flags sent from the programmer board. It is recommended to use the programmer board version 5.1. Further information for the programming of the sensor can be found in the application note for the programmer board. DATA SHEET Note: For production and qualification tests, it is mandatory to set the LOCK bit after final adjustment and programming of HAL855. The LOCK function is active after the next power-up of the sensor. The success of the LOCK process should be checked by reading at least one sensor register after locking and/or by an analog check of the sensors output signal. Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) may disturb the programming pulses. Please take precautions against ESD. 40 Nov. 26, 2008; DSH000149_003EN Micronas DATA SHEET HAL855 intentionally left vacant Micronas Nov. 26, 2008; DSH000149_003EN 41 HAL855 6.
