hmc1501/1512 4 www.honeywell.com magnetic mounting considerations the hmc1501 has an internal sensor die placed toward the forward edge, between pins 1 and 8, to make linear translation applications more convenient. the figure below indicates this location. the HMC1512 has two sensor bridges optimized for rotary translation applications. thus the die is centered in all three dimensions within the soic - 8 package. the figure below indicates location. basic device operation t he honeywell hmc15xx magnetoresistive sensors are wheatstone bridges to measure magnetic field direction . the bridge elements change their resistance when a magnetic field is applied across the silicon die with the thin films of magneto - resistive ferrous m aterial forming the resistive elements. the magnetoresis tance is a function of cos2 where is the angle between the applied magnetic field (m) and the current flow direction in the thin film. when the applied ma gnetic field becomes moderate (5 0 oerstad or larger), the magnetization of the thin films align in the same direction as th e applied field; and becomes the saturation mode. i n this mode, is the angle between the direction of the applied field and the bridge current flow, and the magnetoresistive sensor is only sensitive to the direction of the applied field (not amplitude). the sensor is in the form of a wheatstone bridge (see figures below). the resistance (r) of all four bridge legs is the same. the bridge power supply vb or vbridge, causes current to flow through the bridge elements as indicated in the figures. 0.003 0.029 max 0.003 0.029 max gnd1 gnd2 vo2+ vo1+ vb1 vb2 vo2 - vo1 - gnd1 gnd2 vo2+ vo1+ vb1 vb2 vo2 - vo1 -
hmc1501/1512 www.honeywell.com 5 basic sensor bridge schematic both the hmc1501 and HMC1512 are designed to be used in saturation mode, with applied fields of 80 oerstads or greater, required to meet the specifications in this datasheet. the hmc1501 contains one bridge and th e HMC1512 has two identical bridges, coexisting on a single die. bridge b is physically rotated 45 from bridge a. the hmc1501 ha s a sensor output of v = - vb*s sin (2 ) , and the HMC1512 has a sensor out put of v = vb*s sin (2 ) for sensor a and sensor b s o utput is v = - vb*s cos (2 ). vb is the supply voltage, and s is a sensor constant determined by the materials. for these honeywell sensors, s is typically 12mv/v. application notes the hmc1501 and HMC1512 are honeywells amr based magnetic position sensors that contain amr sensor bridges to be used in saturation mode. the hmc1501 contains one amr bridge for a 45 range of position sensing, and the HMC1512 contains two amr bridges for a 90 range of position sensing. the bridge differential output v oltage ( v) for the hmc1501 is: v = - vs s sin (2 ) where: vs = supply voltage (volts) s = material constant (12mv/v) = reference to magnetic field angle (degrees) with the bridges on the HMC1512 oriented 45 in rotation from each other, the differentia l output voltage for sensor bridge a is: v a = vs s sin (2 ) and for sensor bridge b, the differential output voltage is: v b = - vs s cos (2 ) + - v + - v b r - r r - r r+ r r+ r i i i i m m m m applied field direction vb gnd + - v + - v b r - r r - r r+ r r+ r i i i i m m m m applied field direction vb gnd
hmc1501/1512 6 www.honeywell.com using the HMC1512 bridge a signal output plotted versus theta, the figure below depicts the two - cycle wave form. as you can see above, the most linear range for this sensor bridge is in the 45 range about the C 180, - 90, 0, 90, and 180 degree points. of these the 0 and 180 points have a positive slope, and the 90 points have a negati ve slope. these slopes can be taken to full advantage for angular and linear positioning applications. basic position sensing for simple magnetic position sensing, the hmc1501 sensor can used to detect the relative motion of a nearby magnet in linear or angular displacement. with the orientation of the stationary hmc1501, the magnet position can translate to 45 and stay within a linear slope of v versus for position sensing. given a typical supply voltage of 5 volts (vs = +5vdc), the hmc1501 will pr ovide about a 120 millivolt swing ( 60 millivolts) on 2.5 volt bias voltage. the reason for the 2.5 volts is that with the w heatstone bridge provides a differential voltage output with a bias voltage from the 5 volt supply voltage . the figures show the me chanical orientation and the electrical transfer function.
hmc1501/1512 www.honeywell.com 7 to interface with output pins of the hmc1501 (out+, out - ), an instrumentation amplifier circuit is typically used. instrumentation amplifiers can be purchased as complete integrated circuits, or constructed via combinations of discrete components and integrated circuits; such as operational amplifiers (op - amps). the purpose of an instrumentation amplifier is to derive the difference signal (out+ minus out - ), and to provide additional signal amplification as desired. the figure below shows a typical instrumentation amplifier circuit using an op - amp with external discrete components. with a typical hmc1501 position sensor, a low cost operational ampli fier (e.g. lmv358) could be used as a differential amplifier shown in the schematic above. the 10 kilo - ohm input resistors present a high impedance from the wheatstone bridge, and the 249 kilo - ohm resistor set the amplifier gain and bias at 25v/v and 2.5 v olts respectively. the 0.01 microfarad capacitor is placed in the feedback loop to low system bandwidth and to further exclude noise outside the sensor and amplifier circuits. the analog output voltage of the amplifier is typically fed to an analog - to - digi tal converter (adc) stage stand - alone or within a microprocessor integrated circuit. a recommendation of 10 - bit adc circuits or higher is expected. for angular measurements, the same information applies, except the mechanical arrangement changes a bit. microprocessor with adc hmc1501 u1 +2.5v 10.0k 10.0k 249k 249k op - amp .01 f u2 +5.0v + - analog output out+ out - vbridge gnd2 gnd1 adc0
