NOMINAL PAD SIZE 0.40 X 0.23 MM 0.05 0.20 NOMINAL LAND SIZE 0.65 X 0.28MM Each of the sixteen pads on the HMC1043 is spaced on 0.5mm centers with 4 pads per side. Each pad is nominally 0.23mm by 0.40mm with a tin over copper finish. Recommended PCB lands for the HMC1043 are outsized to 0.28mm by 0.65mm for 0.025mm sides plus 0.05mm inside and 0.20mm outside areas. The extra area is for good reflow attachment and enough pad contact exposure for test probing if necessary. 4 www.honeywell.com HMC1043 Stencil Design and Solder Paste A 4 mil stencil and 100% paste coverage is recommended for the eight electrical contact pads. Do not apply paste on the leveling pads. The HMC1043 has been tested successfully with no-clean solder paste. Pick and Place Placement is machine dependant and no restrictions are recommended. The HMC1043 weight is 25.6 milli-grams. Reflow and Rework This device is classified as MSL 3 with 260 C peak reflow temperature. A baking process (125 C, 24 hrs) is required if device is not kept continuously in a dry (< 10% RH) environment before assembly. No special reflow profile is required for HMC1043 which is compatible with lead eutectic and lead-free solder paste reflow profiles. Honeywell recommends the adherence to solder paste manufacturer’s guidelines. BASIC DEVICE OPERATION The Honeywell HMC1043 magnetoresistive sensors are Wheatstone bridges to measure magnetic fields. With power supply applied to the bridges, the sensors convert any incident magnetic field in the sensitive axis directions to a differential voltage outputs. In addition to the bridge circuits, each sensor has two on-chip magnetically coupled straps; the offset strap and the set/reset strap. These straps are Honeywell patented features for incident field adjustment and magnetic domain alignment; and eliminate the need for external coils positioned around the sensors. The magnetoresistive sensors are made of a nickel-iron (Permalloy) thin-film deposited on a silicon wafer and patterned as a resistive strip element. In the presence of a magnetic field, a change in the bridge resistive elements causes a corresponding change in voltage across the bridge outputs. These resistive elements are aligned together to have a common sensitive axis (indicated by arrows on the pinouts) that will provide positive voltage change with magnetic fields increasing in the sensitive direction. Because the output only is in proportion to the one-dimensional axis (the principle of anisotropy) and its magnitude, additional sensor bridges placed at orthogonal directions permit accurate measurement of arbitrary field direction. The combination of sensor bridges in two and three orthogonal axis permit applications such as compassing and magnetometry. The offset strap allows for several modes of operation when a direct current is driven through it. These modes are: 1) Subtraction (bucking) of an unwanted external magnetic field, 2) null-ing of the bridge offset voltage, 3) Closed loop field cancellation, and 4) Auto-calibration of bridge gain. The set/reset strap can be pulsed with high currents for the following benefits: 1) Enable the sensor to perform high sensitivity measurements, 2) Flip the polarity of the bridge output voltage, and 3) Periodically used to improve linearity, lower cross-axis effects, and temperature effects. Offset Straps The offset strap is a spiral of metallization that couples in the sensor element’s sensitive axis. The offset strap measures nominally 8 ohms, and requires 10mA for each gauss of induced field. The straps will easily handle currents to buck or boost fields through the ±6 gauss linear measurement range, but designers should note the extreme thermal heating on the die when doing so. With most applications, the offset strap is not utilized and can be ignored. Designers can leave one or both strap connections (Off- and Off+) open circuited, or ground one connection node. Do not tie both strap connections together to avoid shorted turn magnetic circuits. Set/Reset Straps The set/reset strap is another spiral of metallization that couples to the sensor elements easy axis (perpendicular to the sensitive axis on the sensor die. Each set/reset strap has a nominal resistance of 5 ohms with a nominal required peak current of 500mA for reset or set pulses. With rare exception, the set/reset strap must be used to periodically condition the magnetic domains of the magneto-resistive elements for best and reliable performance. A set pulse is defined as a positive pulse current entering the S/R+ strap connection. The successful result would be the magnetic domains aligned in a forward easy-axis direction so that the sensor bridge’s polarity is a positive slope with positive fields on the sensitive axis result in positive voltages across the bridge output connections. www.honeywell.com 5 HMC1043 A reset pulse is defined as a negative pulse current entering the S/R+ strap connection. The successful result would be the magnetic domains aligned in a reverse easy-axis direction so that sensor bridge’s polarity is a negative slope with positive fields on the sensitive axis result in negative voltages across the bridge output connections. Typically a reset pulse is sent first, followed by a set pulse a few milliseconds later. By shoving the magnetic domains in completely opposite directions, any prior magnetic disturbances will be completely erased by the duet of pulses. For simpler circuits with less critical requirements for noise and accuracy, a single polarity pulse circuit may be employed (all sets or all resets). With these uni-polar pulses, several pulses together become close in performance to a set/reset pulse circuit. Figure 1 shows an H-Bridge Set/Reset circuit that will generate both set and reset pulses to the set/reset strap. Additional information and examples on set/reset pulse circuits can be found in our application notes AN201 and AN213.
