A CMOS Current-Mode Magnetic Hall Sensor With Integrated Front-End

Abstract

Abstract-A Hall magnetic sensor working in the current domain and its electronic interface are presented. The paper describes the physical sensor design and implementation in a standard CMOS technology, the transistor level design of its high sensitive front-end together with the sensor experimental characterization. The current-mode Hall sensor and the analog readout circuit have been fabricated using a 0.18-CMOS technology. The sensor uses the current spinning technique to compensate for the offset and provides a differential current as an output signal. The measured sensor power consumption and residual offset are 120 and 50 , respectively.

“…However, to reduce the environmental noise entering output has always been a challenge. In this work, a POSFET device as one of the input transistors in the differential stage of operational amplifier proposed, which it nullify the noise common to both input transistors and rescues the signal difference by directly measuring the input terminals [13]. The circuit functions as follow: When the POSFET op-amp is configured as source follower, any difference in input stage gets amplified at output, so whenever the sensor experience some force stimulus while the other transistor remains at fixed bias voltage, the difference between the two will get amplified and appear at output.…”

“…These current levels can be transformed into suitable voltages by integrating the current signal over a chosen period of time. A detailed description of the readout interface for magnetic sensors is given elsewhere [32]. Fig.…”

“…However, the frequency content of power line interference, which is 50 Hz in Europe, can cause major problems. To reduce the electromagnetic interference from power line and other electromagnetic sources, the filters suppress the unwanted noises [27] and pass the low frequencies from 50 Hz to 600 Hz to a full wave rectifier which is subsequently connected into a non-inverting amplifier. The gain of the non-inverting amplifier can be adjusted between 1 and infinity in theory, by a digital potentiometer MCP4151-503 from Microchip®, which is controlled by Arduino microcontroller through the serial peripheral interface (SPI) protocol, bypassing a byte with a decimal value n to the digital potentiometer.…”
