7 Thermal Sensitivity Drift Compensation
7.1 Introduction
The embedded temperature sensor is digitized via the main path ADC before each analog amplified Hall
sensor voltage ADC in case TEMPSENSOR is enabled. This temperature information is used to generate
either an address for a ROM Look-up Table in order to obtain a quadratic temperature compensation
(SECONDORDERTC=1), or a value proportional to the temperature that allows a linear IC gain
compensation (SECONDORDERTC=0). Both compensations rely on the TEMPOFF and TEMPTC
parameters.
7.2 Linear Compensation (1
st
Order)
The conventional linear temperature compensation proves to be adequate for small application temperature
ranges and/or small magnet temperature coefficients. In such cases the error induced by the linear approach
are limited and prove to be good enough for the desired system sensitivity drift.
7.3 Quadratic Compensation (2
nd
Order)
This look up table is stored in ROM and contains the inverse transfer function of a specific magnetic flux
density over temperature. It should be used for magnets with temperature coefficients lower than -1500
ppm/degC, as is typically the case for plastic bonded magnets. Such magnet temperature coefficients can not
optimally be compensated by the linear method (see Application Note “Temperature Compensation for Linear
Programmable Hall effect sensors” on the Melexis webpage). By multiplying the output of the ROM table with
the amplified magnetic flux density signal in the digital domain, the magnet temperature drift is compensated
for, resulting in a (nearly) temperature independent sensitivity of the whole system (magnet + IC).

The factory calibration performed by Melexis targets a specific magnet TC, which serves as accurate basis
for any delta calibration that should be performed when using a magnet with a different TC. This is performed
via the solver software provided by Melexis. The TEMPOFF parameter defines for which temperature the
gain compensation should be 1 (i.e. no compensation), whereas the TEMPTC parameter defines which
temperature range of the curve presented in Figure 3 is mapped onto the application temperature range.
Higher TEMPTC codes will use a bigger range, which corresponds to more gain compensation and thus
bigger magnet temperature coefficients.
