1 Introduction
Infineon’s 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go is a compact evaluation kit to familiarize the user with the 3D Hall sensor
TLE493D-P2B6. 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. Further it is shown where to find example
code and an Arduino library as a easy starting point for own developments.
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 7x7x5 mm ferrite 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.

1.2 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 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. Backward compatibility with older Windows versions is ensured only by the .NET platform
as specific tests were not conducted on older operating systems.
The USB protocols capabilities are defined by the Segger driver. Versions USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are compatible.
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.

2 EvalBoard description
The evaluation board (EvalBoard) is a ready-to-use printed circuit board (PCB) which contains:
• The 3D magnetic sensor TLE493D-P2B6. For the availability of 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kits with
dierent sensor variants check the Infineon web page: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/sensor/
magnetic-sensors/magnetic-position-sensors/3d-magnetics/
• XMC1100 microcontroller based on ARM Cortex™-M0 at 48 MHz frequency connected to the 3D sensor.
• XMC4200 microcontroller based on ARM Cortex™-M4 at 144 MHz frequency used for debugging and USB
communication.
• Micro USB connector for power supply and communication with the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
• LED for indication of power supply and debugging.
• Two LEDs for user configuration.
• Voltage regulator, reverse current protection diode and ESD protection diode.
• Pin headers to access data lines (e.g. via oscilloscope, external microcontroller).
The dierent components and its location are shown in Figure 7. The 3D magnetic sensor can be separated
from the rest of the EvalBoard by cutting the break line.

Figure 7 Main components of the EvalBoard
2.1 Optional external power supply
The 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go EvalBoard is supplied via the USB cable. It is also possible to provide an external
power supply. If this is the case, a few considerations must be taken into account as described below.
The 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go EvalBoard must be supplied by external 5 Volt DC power supply connected to
the micro USB plug. The voltage regulator shis the voltage level to 3.3 V for the microcontrollers and the 3D
magnetic sensor. The Power & Debug LED indicates that the presence of the generated 3.3 V supply voltage.
Out of the box with the pre-programmed application and the on-board debugger in operation the EvalBoard
typically draws about 75 mA. This current can be delivered via the USB plug of a PC, which is specified to deliver
up to 500 mA. An on-board reverse current protection diode will ensure safe operation and protects the USB
port of the Laptop/PC in case power is provided through the pin header X1.

EvalBoard description
User Manual 7

It is not recommended to apply an additional power supply to the VDD pin of X1 (3.3 V) when the board is
powered via USB, because the 3.3 V supply could drive against the on-board power supply. The VDD pin can
be used to power an external circuit. But care must be taken not to draw more current than 150 mA, which is
the maximum current the on-board voltage regulator can deliver. Aer power-up the Debug LED starts blinking.
In case there is connection to a PC with correctly installed drivers, the Debug LED will turn from blinking to
constant illumination.
2.2 Pin header connector
The pin headers X1 and X2 can be used to extend the evaluation board or to perform measurements on
the XMC1100. The order of pins available at X1 and X2 corresponds to the pinning schema of the XMC1100
microcontroller in the TSSOP-16 pin package. The pinning table is also printed onto the bottom side of the PCB
(depending on the version). The pin header X3 can be used to access directly the 3D magnetic sensor pins.

4 3D magnetic sensor evaluation
This chapter describes how the GUI can be used to make first evaluations with Infineon's 3D magnetic sensor.
4.1 Getting started
Once the soware is installed, the following steps are necessary to do the first magnetic measurements.
Steps
1. Connect the EvalBoard to the PC via the USB cable. Use the micro USB port for the EvalBoard and USB
port for the PC. The power LED on the EvalBoard will switch on, indicating the EvalBoard is supplied with
enough power.
2. Open the 3D 2Go GUI by clicking the shortcut in the start menu. On the top le side you should find the
XMC2Go board in the list. If not, check that the EvalBoard is correctly connected to the PC and the J-Link
driver is installed. Click on the Connect to selected programmer button which is marked in Figure 26
to establish the connection with the 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit. The first time you connect the board,
a firmware will be downloaded to the XMC1100 which takes short time. This is indicated by the blinking
power LED on the EvalBoard.
Figure 26 Establish the connection to the EvalBoard
3. The GUI automatically detects the sensor type on the 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit. Dierent
configuration modes can be selected which are briefly described in Table 4 . For details refer to the
TLE493D-P2B6 data sheet and user manual. Aer you have selected the mode, click on Start to begin
with the measurements.
4.2 Graph View
The graph view displays the magnetic field measurements in X, Y and Z direction.
Figure 27 shows the graph view window. On the le hand side there are three histograms which plot the
magnetic field for each measured sample. On the right a table displays all measured data, including the
temperature. With the save button it is possible to export the measurement data into a .csv file. This is
especially helpful for processing the data aerwards. .
If a new mode should to be evaluated click the Stop button on the le control panel. Save the data and Clear it.
Select a new configuration and click again on Start to begin the new evaluation.
