Step 4: Calculation of VOQ and Sensitivity
Set the system to calibration point 1 and read the register D/A-READOUT. The result is
the value D/A-READOUT1.
Now, set the system to calibration point 2, read the register D/A-READOUT again, and
get the value D/A-READOUT2.
With these values and the target values VOUT1 and VOUT2, for the calibration points 1
and 2, respectively, the values for Sensitivity and VOQ are calculated as:
Sensitivity = SensINITIAL 
-----------------------V----o---u---t--2-----–----V----o----u---t--1-----------------------

This calculation has to be done individually for each sensor.
Next, write the calculated values for Sensitivity and VOQ into the IC for adjusting the
sensor. At that time it is also possible to store the application specific values for Clamp-
Low and Clamp-High into the sensor’s EEPROM.The sensor is now calibrated for the
customer application. However, the programming can be changed again and again if
necessary.
Note
For a recalibration, the calibration procedure has to be started at the begin-
ning (step 1). A new initialization is necessary, as the initial values from
step 1 are overwritten in step 4.
