- Hello‑world with one Hall sensor
- Parts: A3213ELHLT‑T, one pull‑up 10k Resistor, one bypass 100nF Capacitor, optional output filter 10nF Capacitor.
- Wire on a breadboard to a 3.3 V or 5 V MCU board:
- VDD to 3.3 V or 5 V; GND to GND.
- VOUT to a digital input, with 10 kΩ pull‑up to your logic rail.
- Place 0.01–0.1 µF between VDD and GND right at the sensor. Optional 0.01 µF from VOUT to GND for noise.
- Why: Per the A3213 datasheet, VDD operates from 2.4–5.5 V and the output is a current‑sinking transistor that “is capable of sinking up to 1 mA,” so a pull‑up is required; it also recommends a 0.01–0.1 µF bypass at VDD and notes an optional 0.01 µF on VOUT.
- Add the second Hall for quadrature
- Mount both sensors on the same radius and offset their sensing centers by about 3.93 mm along the tangent (your 80 mm PCD with 16 magnets). Test that A leads B in one direction and lags in the other. Use simple code to count edges and determine direction.
- Make the small 12 × 25 mm sensor PCB
- Include the two A3213s, two 10 kΩ pull‑ups, two 100 nF bypass caps, optional 10 nF output caps, and a 4‑pin connector like S4B‑PH‑K‑S(LF)(SN) for V+, GND, A, B.
- Keep traces short from sensor to connector; put the bypass caps next to each sensor. Add mounting slots to fine‑tune the 3.93 mm offset on first build.
- Load cell “hello‑world” with your ADC
- ADC: ADS1232IPW.
- Supplies (datasheet): AVDD and DVDD each 2.7–5.3 V (recommended operating conditions).
- Connect the S‑type bridge ratiometrically:
- Bridge Exc+ to REFP, Exc− to REFN; place 0.1 µF directly between REFP and REFN at the ADC.
- Bridge Sense+ to AINP1, Sense− to AINN1.
- To the MCU: DRDY/DOUT and SCLK; set pins for gain and data rate (start with G=128, 10 SPS).
- Performance anchor (datasheet): noise‑free resolution is 18.4 bits at 10 SPS, 17.2 bits at 80 SPS (AVDD=VREF=5 V, G=128).
- Best‑practice note from the knowledge base: if you add input RC filters, match the time constants on both differential legs so common‑mode noise cancels properly.
- A 3.3 V (or 5 V) microcontroller dev board, a solderless breadboard, jumper wires, a USB power source, and a basic multimeter.
- Tell me which logic rail you’ll use on the sensor board (3.3 V or 5 V).
- I’ll give you a one‑page wiring diagram for the single‑sensor test and a few lines of sample code to see pulses.
- When you’re ready, say “create the dual‑Hall 12×25 mm PCB,” and I’ll draft the board with the parts above and the JST‑PH connector, ready for you to review.
