General Description
The MX8683 is a 10-bit Digital Output Magnetic Flux
Sensor. The device is a complete sampled data
subsystem that converts a magnetic flux intensity of
±200 Gauss full scale into a 12-bit format digital
output word, (10-bit resolution). The sensor
operates as a slave on the serial interface with TTL-
level compatible inputs SDI (serial data input), SCK
(serial clock), and CS* (chip select, active low).
Terminal SDO is the tri-state serial data output.
An optional exponentially weighted moving average
digital filter is included that averages the 10-bit ADC
output into a 12-bit output word. The digital filter has
a transfer function equivalent to a first order low
pass filter.
The full scale trim and/or the digital filter time
constant are controllable through the serial I/O
interface and are one-time programmable through
the serial interface (once programmed, the values
are loaded at every power-on).
The MX8683 can be mounted onto a PCB or
incorporated into a magnetic assembly and then
calibrated in-system through the serial interface.
The operating voltage range is 4.5V to 5.5V.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

= +25°C unless otherwise noted
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress
ratings. Stresses in excess of these ratings
can cause permanent damage to the device.
Functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions beyond those indicated
in the operational sections of this data sheet
is not implied. Exposure of the device to the
absolute maximum ratings for an extended
period may degrade the device and affect its
reliability.

ESD Warning
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Although the MX8683 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry,
permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Active low chip select for the serial interface. When a logic “high” is on this pin, the
MX8683 is tracking the hall input signal.
Detailed Circuit Description
The hall plate senses the magnetic field that is applied normal (perpendicular) to the package surface.
The signal from the hall plate is offset-corrected by detecting the difference between a pair of analog
samples during the acquisition time. During idle time (CS* high) the MX8683 tracks the first analog
sample. Immediately (~10 nS) after the falling edge of CS* the first sample is held. The track mode for
the second sample starts nominally 4 µS after the falling edge of CS*. Typically 12 µS after the falling
edge of CS* the second sample is held and the resulting analog value is then converted by the A/D. The
result of the A/D conversion is loaded into the I/O register at the next falling edge of CS*, in preparation
for output on SDO.
The internal acquisition and A/D timing is asynchronous to the SCK serial interface clock. The magnetic
field sampling period is controlled externally by the time between consecutive CS* falling edges. For zero
magnetic field input the nominal A/D output is 2048 decimal. North pole towards the top surface of the
MX8683 increases the A/D output count. Applications that require non-continuous one measurement at a
time operation should pulse CS* low twice, reading the data when CS* is low for the second time.
