You can be brand‑new. We’ll take it step‑by‑step and you’ll get working results quickly. Based on Flux knowledge base guidance, I’ll keep this beginner‑friendly with small, testable milestones.
Quick starter plan
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
Minimal tools you’ll need
  • A 3.3 V (or 5 V) microcontroller dev board, a solderless breadboard, jumper wires, a USB power source, and a basic multimeter.
Your next tiny steps
  • 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.

Certainly! Let's break down the components and their roles in your Spartan AI Accelerator project:
  • R59 (200k-ohm resistor): Connected to the IREF pin of the PMIC (U3), typically used as a reference current setting. This resistor value might define a specific current output or function for the PMIC.

  • U3 (PMIC - DA9062-00AM2): This is a Power Management IC from Renesas, used for providing various voltage levels. It includes multiple LDOs, buck converters, and other control functions. It is central to managing the power distribution and regulation in your circuit.
  • XADCVREF (Reference Voltage Net): This is commonly a reference voltage for ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) operations. It provides a stable reference against which analog signals are measured.
  • C11 (2.2uF capacitor): Typically used for decoupling/filtering purposes. In this case, it's connected to the VREF pin of the PMIC, ensuring a stable reference voltage output without voltage ripple.
  • C58 (10uF capacitor): Often larger capacitors like this are used for smoothing and removing low-frequency noise from power lines, especially important for sensitive circuits like those needing ADC reference voltage stability.
What these components collectively do:
This set of components forms part of the power management and regulation section in your design. Together, they ensure that your power supply is stable, filtered, and noise-free, which is critical for reliable and accurate operation, particularly in systems leveraging ADCs or other precision modules. Does that make sense for your design intent? Any particular part you need more insights on?
