To determine the region that the magnet points towards, measure VOUT for each sensor to see if VOUT is greater or less than VVCC / 2 while considering the degree n between each sensor. The regions from the example where s = 3 sensors and n = (180 / 3) = 60° are shown in Table 4-5. To calculate the regions when using any other value for n, adapt the equations shown in Table 4-4 to adjust for the number of sensors (s) and spacing (n).
VOUT 1 | VOUT 2 | VOUT 3 | Region |
---|---|---|---|
> VVCC / 2 | > VVCC / 2 | > VVCC / 2 | 0° to 60° |
> VVCC / 2 | > VVCC / 2 | < VVCC / 2 | 60° to 120° |
> VVCC / 2 | < VVCC / 2 | < VVCC / 2 | 120° to 180° |
< VVCC / 2 | < VVCC / 2 | < VVCC / 2 | 180° to 240° |
< VVCC / 2 | < VVCC / 2 | > VVCC / 2 | 240° to 300° |
< VVCC / 2 | > VVCC / 2 | > VVCC / 2 | 300° to 360° |
