Temperature Compensation
The magnetic field strength of a magnet depends on the temperature. This material
constant is specific to different magnet types. Therefore, the TLE4998P3C E1200 offers
a second-order temperature compensation polynomial, by which the Hall signal output
is multiplied in the DSP.
There are three parameters for the compensation:
• Reference temperature T0
• A linear part (1st order) TC1
• A quadratic part (2nd order) TC2
The following formula describes the sensitivity dependent on the temperature in relation
to the sensitivity at the reference temperature T0:
STC(T) = 1 + TC1 × (T – T0) + TC2 × (T – T0)2
For more information, see also the signal-processing flow in Figure 6.
The full temperature compensation of the complete system is done in two steps:
1. Pre-calibration in the Infineon final test
The parameters TC1, TC2, T0 are set to maximally flat temperature characteristics
regarding the Hall probe and internal analog processing parts.
2. Overall system calibration
The typical coefficients TC1, TC2, T0 of the magnetic circuitry are programmed. This
can be done deterministically, as the algorithm of the DSP is fully reproducible. The
final setting of the TC1, TC2, T0 values depend on the pre-calibrated values.
