DRV411使用问题.docx

Using 3 coils: 1600 turns,2000 turns,5000 turnsUsing REFSEL1=0, REFSEL2=0, to supply 5V, reference voltage 2.5V modeGSEL1=1, GSEL1=0, mode 3, capacitance L > 50mL modeAccording to the calculation of Ip * Np = Is * Ns, under the current of 10.4 A, the corresponding currents of the three coils are:

Is=Ip*Np/Ns

- 1600 turns corresponding to Is=10.3*1/1600=6.47mA

 -2000 turns corresponding to Is=10.3*1/2000=5.18mA 

-5000 turns corresponds to Is=10.3*1/5000=2.06mA

The current in the compensation coil is measured and the universal meter is strung into the coil L 1 and the sampling resistance R7. The measured results are in good agreement with the above calculation and work normally.

It is also normal to test the two-terminal voltage of the sampling resistance with a multimeter,

which is the product of the corresponding current and resistance value of each coil above.Theoretical Vout output, when the original edge current 0A changes to 10.3A, when the sampling resistance is 5.1 Ω, the corresponding output change of each coil is as follows:

1600 turns corresponding to Vout=4*Is*R7=4*6.47*0.001*5.1=0.132V

- 2000 turns corresponding to Vout=4*Is*R7=4*5.18*0.001*5.1=0.106V

- 5000 turns corresponding to Vout=4*Is*R7=4*2.06*0.001*5.1=0.042V

However, the actual test shows that the output of the three kinds of coils increases with the increase of the original edge current. When the original edge is 0 ≤ 10.3A, the total output variation is about 0.04V.

When the sampling resistance is changed to 10 Ω and the rest remain unchanged, the output change should be about doubled in theory, but the output of the three coils is the same, which is about 0.03V.

  • Hello User,

    Thanks you for using the forum to get your question answered.  

    A few questions to make sure I understand.  If you measure the current then you are getting the correct result?  If you measure the output voltage the results do not match?  If this is the case please look at your IAIN2 (pin5) connection as in your schematic it is unclear if it is connected.  If this resolves it please click on the "This resolved my issue"  If not continue with my following question to help find the root cause.

    If this is not the case I will need you to look a little deeper.  Keep in mind that you will have a resistance on the coil and will increase as you increase the number of coils.  The inductance will also increase with the number of turns.  Make sure when you make measurements it does not include the resistance of the coil if using a voltage measurement.  What magnetic gain are you getting from you current?  Can you share the dimensions of you core?  Can you share any properties of your hall sensor?  Normally if the feedback does not work the part will sometimes drive compensation coil to one of the rails.  This is similar to an amplifier in open loop.  If will end up going to one of the rails.  When you are measuring the delta output voltage make sure that the voltage is not railed to one of the outputs.  If the part is railed and the loop is closed you may need to switch your coil connections.  It may be operating in a positive feedback.
