Stress induces piezoelectric voltages that interfere with the measurement of the Hall voltages; in particular, they vary with temperature and can cause offset drifts with very long time constants. Specific recommendations include: • PCBs made of FR-4 are recommended over, for example, ceramic PCBs, since the coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate better matches that of the...

Operating conditions Digital input signals: – “Low” input voltage – “High” input voltage – Input current Digital output signals: – “Low” output voltage (1) – “High” output voltage (2) Operating temperature Notes: The maximum drive capability of the analog outputs is 100 kΩ / 500 pF. The digital input levels must match the supply used: 5 V when supplied with 5 V and 3.3 V when supplied with 3.3 V. The digital output level matches the supply used: 5 V when supplied with 5 V and 3.3...

Note, however, that the INV control line, normally used only for Analog mode, also affects Digital mode operation; consequently, if connected in Digital mode, it should be tied to LOGIC 0. 3-6 POWER SUPPLY The MagVector MV2 is designed to be supplied with 5 V.

Open the catalog to page 12MagVector™ MV2 3-Axis Magnetic Sensor Copyright © 2020 Metrolab Technology SA In the 3.3 V configuration, VCC must be shorted to VDD. The 10 µF capacitor values are approximate recommendations. In the 3.3 V configuration, the choice of the value of the decoupling capacitor depends on the specifications of the external voltage regulator. It is recommended to place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor in parallel to each 10 µF capacitors. 3-7 OPERATING MODES The MagVector MV2 can be operated in two modes: digital or analog, depending on the logic level of the D-A input pin. If the D-A pin is tied to...
