HALLROCKER-EVM
ABSTRACT
This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the Hall-effect human machine interface
(HMI) HALLROCKER evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of Halleffect switches in the SOT-23 package. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation
module, and EVM are synonymous with the HALROCKER-EVM. This document includes a schematic, reference
printed circuit board (PCB) layouts, and a complete bill of materials (BOM).

Overview

1 Overview
Rocker switches are one of the possible forms of control in a HMI. These electromechanical switches are
tri-state. Two states require active mechanical force from the user, while the third state is the default resting
state when no force from the user is applied. A rocker switch can be constructed with magnets and Hall-effect
switches. This document presents an example of such a rocker switch. In particular, the rocker switches
presented here are the same switches that were covered in HMI Rocker Switch with Hall-Effect Switches
application report.

This EVM allows the user to evaluate Hall-effect switches in a rocker switch application. The EVM includes three
rocker switches designed with either the DRV5033FAQDBZ, DRV5033AJQDBZ, or DRV5032ZEDBZ according
to the steps described in the HMI Rocker Switch with Hall-Effect Switches application report. In addition to these
switches, there is space for incorporating another switch of the user's own design in the quadrant designated
as Rocker Switch 4. This rocker switch location provides the user with the flexibility to offset the device from
the default location used for the other switches. The EVM is intended to provide basic functional evaluation of
the devices. The layout is not intended to be a model for the target circuit, nor is it laid out for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) testing.
Features
• 3D printed Rocker switch assemblies.
• Conveniently powered from a common micro-USB connector.
• Slots for inserting custom switch.
• 3D CAD files available for printing more switches or tailoring the design.

3 Operation
Quick Start Setup
The following instructions describe how to set up and use the EVM.
1. Connect the EVM to a PC using a USB cable.
a. Insert the micro USB cable into the EVM micro-USB receptacle.
b. Plug the other end of the USB A terminal into a PC.
EVM Operation
The board is populated with three rocker switches as indicated in Figure 3-1. With each switch there are two
Hall-effect switches and three LED indicators. When a rocker is in the default resting state, the magnets in the
rocker top are sufficiently far from either Hall-effect switch such that neither operate point (BOP) is triggered,
resulting into high outputs feeding into an XOR that drives the middle LED to turn on. When the rocker top is
moved sufficiently far in one direction, the BOP of Hall-effect device in that direction will trigger, resulting in the
corresponding LED to light up. Figure 3-2 shows how the LEDs for a given rocker switch light up based upon the
rocker top position.

The unpopulated rocker space allows the user to place a rocker switch of interest to them. This space has
multiple locations at which a Hall-effect sensor can be placed. This allows the user to observe the impact of
increasing sensor offset, which decreases the field observed by the sensor and thereby lowers the BOP threshold
angle as shown in Figure 3-3. Alternatively, these alternate sensor placement locations provide the user with the
option to evaluate the performance of in-plane devices like the TMAG5123 in a rocker switch design by making
some minor modifications to the 3d print files and reorienting the magnet as seen in Figure 3-4.

Rocker Switch 4 Setup
1. Only DBZ 3-pin SOT-23 package devices are intended to be used.
2. GND pin must be on the left-most column of solder pads.
3. As indicated in Figure 3-5, 0-Ω resistors, wire, or solder bridges should be used to connect the device VCC
pad to the board VCC as well as the device output to the board OUT4x pad.
4. As indicated in Figure 3-5, a decoupling cap of at least 0.1 µF should be used between the VCC pads and
GND pads.
