Infineon TLE493D-A2B6 User Manual

1 Introduction
Infineon’s 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go is a compact evaluation kit to familiarize the user with the 3D Hall sensor
TLE493D-A2B6. In a short time the board is set up and own 3D magnetic measurements can be executed. All
required hardware is included and the soware can be downloaded for free from the Infineon web page.
This user manual describes the dierent parts of the board, the soware installation process and clarifies how
the Graphical User Interface (GUI) can be used to do first evaluations.
1.1 Hardware overview
The 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit contains:
• The 3D evaluation board (EvalBoard) as shown in Figure 1, a ready-to-use printed circuit board (PCB) with
the 3D Hall sensor. The EvalBoard is based on the XMC2Go-Kit. More technical documents and detailed
description can be found at http://www.infineon.com/xmc2go.
• A standalone block magnet.
To use the 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit the user has to acquire a USB cable with a micro USB connection-end for
the EvalBoard side and a conventional USB connection for the PC side.

Soware
The required soware to run the kit can be found at the Infineon web site. For further information refer to the
chapter Soware installation.
The soware package contains:
• A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the user sensor evaluation.
• Firmware to be flashed into the XMC microcontroller for the low level communication with the sensor.
• USB driver J-Link from Segger which is necessary to establish the USB connection.
This soware was designed to be used with Windows 7 and Windows 10. It is compatible with both 32-bit and
64-bit system types. Other versions may also work, but have not been tested.
The USB protocols capabilities are defined by the Segger driver. Versions USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 should be
compatible.
The EvalBoard with the TLE493D-A2B6 3D Hall sensor can be used with the GUI version 3.0.0 and onwards.
The GUI is used to enable a communication between the sensor and the PC. The user can configure the sensor
to operate in dierent modes. In those modes the update rate of the magnetic field measured (X, Y and Z
components) and current consumption vary.
1.3 Magnet heads
As described in Chapter 1.1, a standalone magnet is provided with the 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit. This can be
manually placed to a desired position and then the magnetic field can be measured in the three dimensions.
