  • Page 3: Introduction

    1. Introduction This document describes the procedures for setting up the IDT ZMID520x internal memory and transmitter (Tx) front-end in order to start measurements with the device in user applications. It describes the settings needed to prepare the device for operation and then gives an internal memory overview.
  • Page 4: Figure 2. Current Paths And Shapes For Coils - Example For Linear Position Sensing

    ZMID520x User Guide for Getting Started The signal that is generated by the magnetic field of transmitter coil (Tx) is received by two receiver coils. If a metallic target is placed over the coils, the transmitted energy below the target is dissipated as eddy currents in the target and does not induce a secondary voltage in the receiver coils in that area.
  • Page 5: Figure 3. Geometrical Illustration For Coils And Target - Example For Linear Position Sensing

    Geometrical Illustration for Coils and Target – Example for Linear Position Sensing Note: The following display was created by the ZMID520x Inductive Coil Design Tool Software. IDT provides a software tool to support coil design as illustrated in Figure 3:  ZMID520x Inductive Coil Design Tool Software: https://www.idt.com/document/swr/zmid520x-inductive-coil-design-tool-software...

    The following procedures require the ZMID520x EVK Application Software, which includes the graphical user interface (GUI) provided for the ZMID520x Application Modules. A complete description of the GUI is given in the ZMID520x Evaluation Kit User Manual, which is available on the IDT website via the following link, and it includes instructions for downloading and installing the GUI: https://www.idt.com/document/man/zmid520x-evaluation-kit-user-...

  • Page 10: Figure 9. Coil Offset Reading - Example Using The Zmid5203

    The coil design should meet the criteria of having a maximum symmetry for the two Rx coils. See section 2 for the links for software and documentation for the ZMID520x Inductive Coil Design Tool Software provided by IDT for addressing this requirement.
  • Page 11: Gain Stage Setting

    ZMID520x User Guide for Getting Started 3.4 Gain Stage Setting Select the value of the Gain_stage setting so that the value of the “Magnitude” parameter is in the range of 6000 to 10000 when the target is positioned at the nominal air gap over the sensor board. The GUI displays the “Magnitude” parameter tab on the “INTERNAL VALUES” subtab under the “MAIN”...
  • Page 12: Input Amplitude Offset Compensation

    ZMID520x User Guide for Getting Started 3.5 Input Amplitude Offset Compensation The GUI offers an automated procedure for performing the input amplitude offset compensation with the target in place. For this procedure the target must be positioned at the operational distance from the receiving coils (air gap). 1.
  • Page 13: Output Calibration

    ZMID520x User Guide for Getting Started 3.6 Output Calibration The GUI offers an automated procedure for performing output calibration with the target in place at the operational distance from the receiving coils (air gap). 1. Select the “Out MODE” setting as described in section 3.2.1. 2.
  • Page 14: Output Linearization

    This section provides a basic output linearization procedure for the ZMID520x. Using a target positioning system for these procedures is strongly recommended. For additional information on calibration and linearization, refer to the ZMID520x Evaluation Kit User Manual. For the ZMID5201, also see the ZMID5201 Manual for Calibration and Linearization Using the Analog Output available on the ZMID5201 product web page.

Internal Memory Figure 17 shows the internal memory structure of the ZMID520x products, which is divided into a nonvolatile EEPROM and a volatile shadow RAM (SWR) section. After the ZMID520x start up, the EEPROM content is copied into the SWR. During ZMID520x operation in OWI mode, changes in the SWR will take immediate effect;...

This register contains the correction factor for points n°6 and n°5. Bits [15:8] are the correction factor for the position at 62.5% (225°), and bits [7:0] are the correction factor for the position at 50% (180°).
