5. Calculate the according gain and offset parameters from the recorded HCAL1 and HCAL2 values and the
desired VDAC1’ and VDAC2’ values using Equation (6.2) and Equation (6.3) .
(6.2)
(6.3)
6. Programm the gain (G) and offset (OS) values into the sensor’s EEPROM.
Attention: HCAL is a 16bit signed integer value in the range of ±30000. VDAC is a 12bit unsigned decimal
value applied to the internal DAC for the ratiometric output stage. The value range is from 0 to
4095 and corresponds to 0% to 100% of VDD..
6.2 Two-Point Calibration Examples
6.2.1 Calibration with Application Readout
Optimum accuracy of the TLE4997 can be achived by using a two-point calibration with readout of the HCAL
registers in the application. The sensor´s output register HCAL is measured at the end points of the applications
range of motion and derive the optimum offset and gain parameters from the desired VOUT values. The registers
can be read using the TLE4997 Evaluation Kit.
Example
An example application has a linear movement range from x
1
to x
2
. In both positions , the register value HCAL is
recorded.
In the application , it is desired to have the output value VOUT1’ = 0.25V (5% of the full 5V range) at position x
1
and VOUT2’ = 4.75V (95% of full 5V range ) at position x
2
.
The measured HCAL and desired VOUT’ values are shown in Table 6-1
Applying the HCAL and VDAC’ values form Table 6-1 in Equation (6.2) and Equation (6.3) yields:
(6.4)
(6.5)
This corresponds to a multiplicative gain of 2.53 and an offset of 2.35V, according to the formulas in Chapter 4 .
Attention: If the measured HCAL values are close to the range limits ±30000, saturation takes place. In this
case, it is recommended to switch to a higher magnetic range (±100 or ±200 mT) prior to the
calibration.
