Table 4-1 shows a summary of the angle measurement methods discussed in this application report. For the column labeled Magnet Placement Orientation Required?, the term Approximately means that the magnet must be oriented during placement, but not very precisely. For more information about each method, see the associated sections linked in Table 4-1.
When trying to achieve high accuracy and resolution with 360° rotation, the Peak + Lookup Hybrid method is easier to implement than the standard lookup table. The Peak + Lookup Hybrid method is used for the DRV5055-ANGLE-EVM.
Calibration Method | Recommended Magnet Options | Magnet Placement Orientation Required? | Accuracy Improved by Adding: | # Sensors Needed | Estimated Accuracy Peak-to-Peak Error (Based on measured data with a DRV5055) | Complexity | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 Sensor | 2+ Sensors | < 180° | 360° | |||||
Uncalibrated | Diametrically magnetized disc or axially magnetized cylinder or block | Yes | Yes | Sensors | 1+ | 2+ | = 180° / #Sensors | Low |
Peak Calibrated | Diametrically magnetized disc | Yes | Yes | N/A | 1 | 2 | ≈ 8° | Low |
Lookup Table | Diametrically magnetized disc | Approximately | No | Calibration points | 1 | 2 | ≈ (Spacing Between Cal Points) / 8 | High |
Peak + Lookup Hybrid | Diametrically magnetized disc | Approximately | No | Calibration points | 1 | 2 | ≈ (Spacing Between Cal Points) / 15 | Medium |
