ST2[6:4] bits: Reserved register for AKM.
HOFL: Magnetic sensor overflow
“0”: Normal
“1”: Magnetic sensor overflow occurred
In Single measurement mode, Continuous measurement mode 1, 2, 3, 4, and Self-test mode, magnetic sensor
may overflow even though measurement data register is not saturated. In this case, measurement data is not
correct and HOFL bit turns to “1”. When measurement data register is updated, HOFL bit is updated. Refer
to 9.4.3.6 for detailed information.
ST2 register has a role as data reading end register, also. When any of measurement data register (HXL to
TMPS) is read in Continuous measurement mode 1, 2, 3, 4, it means data reading start and taken as data
reading until ST2 register is read. Therefore, when any of measurement data is read, be sure to read ST2
register at the end.
