MLX91206
IMC-Hall® Current Sensor (Triaxis® Technology)
2 General Description
The MLX91206 is a monolithic sensor IC featuring the Triais® Hall technology. Conventional planar Hall
technology is only sensitive to the flux density applied orthogonally to the IC surface. The IMC-Hall® current
sensor is sensitive to the flux density applied parallel to the IC surface. This is obtained through an Integrated
Magneto-Concentrator (IMC-Hall®) which is deposited on the CMOS die (as an additional back-end step). The
IMC-Hall® current sensor is automotive qualified.
The product is a single chip Hall sensor which provides an output signal which is proportional to the flux density
applied horizontally and is therefore suitable for current measurement. It is ideally used as an open loop current
sensor for PCB mounting. (see figure 2). It features small size application design and a simple construction for
various current ranges.
The transfer characteristic of the MLX91206 is programmable (offset, gain, clamping levels, diagnostic
functions…). The output is selectable between analog and PWM. The linear analog output is used for
application where a very fast response ( 3

8.3 Remarks to the achievable accuracy
The achievable target accuracy is dependent on user’s end-of-line calibration. The resolution for the offset and
offset drift calibration is better than 0.1%Vdd. Trimming capability is higher than the measurement accuracy.
End-user calibration can increase the accuracy of the system.

Customers can re-program the parameters described in the table below by using the Melexis PTC-04 hardware
and the Product Specific Functions (PSF) libraries provided by Melexis. We recommend using the latest version
of the PSF and the latest version of the firmware with a communication speed of 10kbps (limited by a maximum
output capacitor of 50nF). Software and firmware are available on the softdist platform (see contact details on
page 25 to request an account).

Please note that the factory calibration is done with PLATEPOL=0 . Melexis cannot guarantee the magnetic
specifications if this parameter is changed during customer calibration.
11.7 Sensitivity programming (ROUGHGAIN, FINEGAIN)
The sensitivity is programmable with 3 bits for ROUGHGAIN and 10 bits for FINEGAIN in analog output
application from 60 to 330 V/T (91206-High-Field version) and from 200 to 700 V/T (Low-Field version).
The FINEGAIN resolution depends on the programmed ROUGHGAIN setting. It typically ranges from 0.25V/T
(ROUGHGAIN=7) up to 0.01V/T (ROUGHGAIN=0).

In order to have a safety margin regarding mechanical tolerances Melexis recommends designing the
application in such a way that the typical sensitivity can be used with. If the target sensitivity of the module is
out of the defined range (see table above), the hardware and software tools provided by Melexis will not be
able to properly calibrate the sensor.

Since noise and offset drift of the sensor are proportional to the electric gain of the sensor, Melexis recommends
using the version with the smallest gain to optimize the performances.

11.11 Power limitation / PWM rise and fall time (OUTSLOPE)
OUTSLOPE, in the analog mode case, defines the power limit above which the output driver turns off to prevent
damages to the IC.
The power dissipated in the IC output driver is measured by the IC itself. The power is obtained by multiplying
continuously the voltage across the conducting MOS driver by the output current I out. When the power
reaches the power limit, the output driver is switched off and on such that, on average, the measured power
is maintained equal to the power limit. The power limitation is disabled when OUTSLOPE=3.

Please note that the factory calibration is done with RATIODIS=0 excepted for the CAH-021 version where
RATIODIS=1. Melexis cannot guarantee the magnetic specifications if this parameter is changed during
customer calibration.
11.14 Sensitivity and temperature drift programming (TC1ST, TC2ND_COLD,
TC2ND_HOT)
First order sensitivity temperature drift can be trimmed from -2000 to 2000 ppm/degC with TC1ST. The
programming resolution is 40 ppm/degC.
Second order sensitivity temperature drift can be trimmed from -6 to 6 ppm/degC 2 with TC2ND. The
programming resolution is 0.4/ppm/degC2.The second order can also be seen as third order correction since
cold and hot sides are independently adjusted.
11.15 Offset temperature drift programming (OFFDRIFT_COLD, OFFDRIFT_HOT)
Offset temperature drift can be trimmed from -2.25 to +2.25 mV/degC. The programming resolution is 0.075
mV/degC. This first order correction is done independently for temperatures over 25degC and below 25degC.

12 Application information
12.1 Low current measurement up to ±2 A
Low currents can be measured with the MLX91206 by
increasing the magnetic field via a coil around the sensor.
The sensitivity (output voltage vs. current in coil) of the
measurement will depend on the size of coil and number of
turns. Additional sensitivity and increased immunity to
external fields can be gained by adding a shield around the
coil. The bobbin provides very high dielectric isolation
making this a suitable solution for high voltage power
supplies with relative low currents. The output should be
scaled to obtain the maximum voltage for the highest
current to be measured in order to obtain the best accuracy
and resolution.
Figure 3: Low current application
12.2 Medium current up to ±30 A
With a single conductor located on the PCB, currents in the
range of up to 30 amps can be measured. The sizing of the
PCB trace needs to take into account the current handling
capability and the total power dissipation. The PCB trace
needs to be thick enough and wide enough to handle the
RMS current continuously.
The differential output voltage for this configuration can be
approximated by the following equation:
Vout = 35 mV/A * I
For a current level of 30 A, the output will be approximately
1050 mV.
Figure 4: Medium current application
12.3 High current measurement up to ±600 A
Another method of measuring high currents on PCB’s is to use
a large thick gauge copper trace capable of carrying the current
on the opposite side of the PCB. The MLX91206 should be
located near the centre of the trace, however because the trace
is wide, the output is less sensitive to location on the PCB. This
configuration also has less sensitivity due to the distance and
width of the conductor.
