Bias current source
The calibration of the bias current source in test mode
TEST=0x1F is prerequisite for adherence to the given
electrical characteristics and also instrumental in the
determination of the chip timing (e.g. SCL clock fre-
quency). For the calibration the current out of pin PB2
into VNA must be measured, and register bits CIBM
changed until the current is calibrated to 200 µA.

Gain settings
iC-MU has signal conditioning features that can com-
pensate for signal and adjustment errors. The Hall sig-
nals are amplified in two stages. The gain of both am-
plification stages is automatically controlled when the
bit ENAC is set to ’1’. The register bits GC_x and GF_x
have no effect. In the case of a deactivated automatic
gain control (ENAC=’0’) the gain must be set manually.
First, the approximate field strength range must be se-
lected in which the Hall sensor is to be operated. The
first amplifier stage can be programmed in the follow-
ing ranges:

The second amplifier stage can be varied within a wide
range.

Register GX_x enables the sensitivity of the sine chan-
nel in relation to the cosine channel to be corrected.
The amplitude of the cosine channel is adapted to the
amplitude of the sine channel. The cosine amplitude
can be corrected within a range of approx. ±10 %.

The integrated amplitude control unit can be activated
using bit ENAC. In this case the differential signal am-
plitude is regulated to 2 Vpp; the values of GF_x have
no effect here.
