Magnetic-field sensor with test pin for control of signal range and/or offset
Abstract:
In one aspect, an integrated circuit (IC) includes a magnetic-field sensor. The magnetic-field sensor includes digital circuitry that includes a first and second analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The digital circuitry is configured to receive a first and second analog output signals and, using the first and second ADC, configured to convert the first and second analog output signals to a first and second digital signals. The magnetic-field sensor also includes diagnostic circuitry configured to receive, from the digital circuitry, an input signal related to the first and/or the second digital signals and configured to provide a test signal at a pin of the IC. In response to a range parameter, the diagnostic circuitry is further configured to provide the test signal comprising a range of codes from the first and/or the second ADC corresponding to the range parameter.
