A Novell Hall Magnetometer Using Dynamic Offset Cancellation

چکیده
Abstract: A novel Hall magnetometer using dynamic offset cancellation principle is presented. It consists from a single triangular silicon plate with three contacts and interface electronics. The proposed dynamic offset-cancelling measurement cycle includes three states. During each state, an external circuit is switched to the plate contacts in a certain way. This way, the direction of current flow through the Hall plate is changed from phase to phase. At the same time, the output voltage is measured. After averaging the obtained three voltages per a measurement cycle, the offset voltage cancelled and this way the offset-free Hall voltage is obtained. The obtained offset reduction factor is very promising, reaching 120–130. The Hall device sensitivity is about 25 V/AT.

The comparator is a combinational logic circuit that plays an important role in the design of analog to digital converter. One of its most important properties is its input referred offset. When mismatches are present in a dynamic comparator, due to internal positive feedback and transient response, it is always challenging to analytically predict the input-referred random offset voltages since...
