Gain Setting
The sensitivity is defined by the range and the gain setting. The output of the A/D
Converter is multiplied with the gain value.

1) For gain values between - 0.5 and + 0.5, the numeric accuracy decreases.
To obtain a flatter output curve, it is recommended to select a higher range setting.
2) A gain value of +1.0 corresponds to a typical 40 mV/mT sensitivity (100 mT range, not guaranteed). Infineon
pre-calibrates the samples to 60mV/mT (100mT range) in the final test, but does not guarantee the accuracy
of this calibration. It is crucial to do a final calibration of each IC within the application using the Gain/VOS value.
The gain value can be calculated by
:
Gain = (---G------–----1---6---3---8---4----)

Offset Setting
The offset voltage corresponds to an output voltage with zero field at the sensor.

1) Infineon pre-calibrates the samples at zero field to 50% of VDD (100mT range) in the final test, but does not
guarantee the accuracy of this calibration. It is crucial to do a final calibration of each IC within the application
using the Gain/VOS value.
