    On board or external reference option Introduction The DRV425EVM is an evaluation module for the DRV425 integrated circuit. The DRV425 is designed for magnetic field sensing applications, enabling isolated precision DC and AC field measurements. The DRV425 features an integrated fluxgate sensor and all required analog signal conditioning circuits, minimizing component count and cost.
  • Page 2: Magnetic Field Interface

    Magnetic Field Interface www.ti.com Magnetic Field Interface The DRV425 device contains and integrated fluxgate sensor which is located between pins 2 and 14. The magnetic field sensitivity is parallel to the surface of the chip. Figure 1. Magnetic Field Axis of Sensitivity Power Supply The DRV425EVM Board can be powered by a user provided 3.0 V to 5.5 V DC supply.
  • Page 3: Output Voltage

    An external reference can be applied to J1 pin 1, referenced to pin 3. If an external reference is used, it is important to keep it at a level of VDD/2, which is the common mode point of the differential amplifier output stage of the DRV425 device. Reference voltages beyond VDD/2 will result in offset and gain errors. Output Voltage The output voltage of the DRV425EVM is located on J1 pin 2 and can be referred to the reference at J1 pin 2 or the power supply ground at J1 pin 3.
