5. Description
The MLX90215 is a Programmable Linear Hall Effect sensor IC fabricated utilizing silicon -CMOS
technology. 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.

(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 figure on 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.
(7) 1 mT = 10 Gauss
7. How does it work?
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. For more information on the programmer hardware, contac t
Melexis and request a datasheet for the programmer.
Programming The Quiescent Offset Voltage (V OQ)10 bits, 1024 steps of resolution, are allotted to adjust
the Quiescent Offset Voltage (V OQ). By utilizing the HALFVDD function, the V OQ can be set to one of two
ranges. 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.

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.

Table 3 (left) illustrates the way the TC code affects the
sensitivity temperature drift. 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.

options.

12. Application comments
The following is a list of recommended operating parameters that will
help to ensure the accuracy and stability of the MLX90215. 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 is 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. Contact Melexis for more details on
programming this device.
13. Installation Comments
1) Avoid mechanical stress on leads or package. Stress may cause
VOQ shift.
A) Avoid bending leads at the package interface.
B) Support the leads by clamping, when bending.
C) Avoid gluing device to another material. This may cause
temperature-related stress.
