Table 5: Operating Modes
iC-MG has several modes of operation which are set
via MODE. In addition to the primary operational mode
ABZ Mode for the output of encoder quadrature sig-
nals via differential line drivers both analog and digital
calibration signals can be selected which can be used
to set up the integrated signal conditioning unit.
ABZ Mode
In ABZ Mode complementary signals are always out-
put. Here, converter setting SELRES determines the
A/B pulse count and zero signal settings CFGZ and
CFGPOS the width and position of the generated zero
signal (dependent on an enable from ZIn).
In Calibration Mode 2 the conditioned sine and cosine
signals are output (signals PCH-S, NCH-S, PCH-C
and NCH-C). Additionally, the intermediate potentials
of both input channels are also available, with VDCS
for the sine and VDCC for the cosine channel. The
calibration of these intermediate voltages is described
on page 14.
System Test Mode
System Test Mode permits the fine adjustment of the
sine and cosine input signals using digital signals. The
registers mentioned above must also be set for this
mode.
Calibration Mode 1, Mode 2
So that signal amplitudes and offset voltages can be
calibrated internal analog signals are switched to the
output pins directly and the digital line drivers shut
down. Due to internal resistances of up to 4 kΩ a high-
impedance measurement is advisable.
In Calibration Mode 1 bias current source IBN and the
internal zero signal are available after the input am-
plifier (signals PCH-Z and NCH-Z). The calibration of
IBN is described on page 11, that of the zero signal on
page 15.
The A4 duty cycle acts as a measure for the offset of
the sine channel, with the B4 duty cycle a measure for
that of the cosine channel. The duty cycle at A8 repre-
sents the phase error between sine and cosine or any
deviation from the ideal value of 90◦. The calibration
of differing signal amplitudes enables the duty cycle at
B8. A duty cycle of 50 % is the calibration target for all
digital test signals.
Signal ZIn is the unmasked digitized zero signal.
BIAS CURRENT SOURCE CALIBRATION
The calibration of the bias current source in operation
mode Calibration 1 is prerequisite for adherence to the
given electrical characteristics and also instrumental
in the determination of the chip timing (e.g. clock fre-
quency at SCL). For setup purposes the IBN bias cur-
rent is measured using a 10 kΩ resistor by pin VDDS
connected to pin NB. The setpoint is 200 µA which is
equivalent to a voltage drop of 2 V.
NOTE: The measurement delivers a false reading
when outputs are tristate (due to a configuration error
after cycling power, for instance).
