Infineon 3DSense Shield2Go TLV493D-A1B6 User manual

TLV493D-A1B6
3DSense Shield2Go
Quick Start
V1.0.0

Introduction
The 3D magnetic sensor TLV493D-A1B6 offers accurate three-dimensional sensing
with extremely low power consumption in a small 6-pin package.
With its magnetic field detection in x, y, and z-direction the sensor reliably
measures three-dimensional, linear and rotation movements. Applications include
joysticks, control elements (white goods, multifunction knops), or electric meters
(anti tampering) and any other application that requires accurate angular
measurements or low power consumptions.
The integrated temperature sensor can furthermore be used for plausibility
checks.

Key features are 3D magnetic sensing with a very low
power consumption during operations. The sensor has a
digital output via 2-wire based standard I2C interface up
to 1 MBit/sec and 12 bit data resolution for each
measurement direction (Bx, By and Bz linear field
measurement up to +-130mT).

Evaluation Board Notes
Information
•Supply voltage is typ. 3.3 V, please refer to the
TLV493D-A1B6 datasheet for more details about
maximum ratings
•Pin out on top (head) is directly connected to the
pins of the TLV493D-A1B6 sensor
•The break out board is compatible with Infineon’s
offer of joysticks, rotation knobs and additional
supplies for the 3D magnetic sensor portfolio
•If head is broken off, only one capacitor is
connected to the TLV493D-A1B6 sensor
•Software compatible with Arduino and library fully
integrated into the Arduino IDE
•Sensor has different I2C addresses, please refer to
the User Manual for more information
•Sales Name S2GO_3D-SENSE_TLV493D and OPN
S2GO3DSENSETLV493DTOBO1
Head
Breakable
Ensure that no voltage applied to any of the pins
exceeds the absolute maximum rating of 3.5 V Link to Board Page

Example with XMC 2Go
Notes
•The Shield2Go form factor of the Shield2Go
evaluation board is directly compatible with the
XMC 2Go board
•Stack the TLV493D-A1B6 3DSense Shield2Go
board on top of the XMC 2Go as shown in the
picture
•The additional pin on the left-top side (designated
with NC) is left floating
•Using the XMC-for-Arduino Arduino integration, the
Arduino library for the TLV493D-A1B6 can be
directly used
https://github.com/Infineon/XMC-for-Arduino
https://github.com/Infineon/TLV493D-A1B6-3DMagnetic-Sensor
Steps
•Open one of the examples for the TLV493D-A1B6 from File –Examples
and select as board XMC1100 XMC2Go
•Connect the stacked boards to the PC and press the Upload button
•Select the related COM port from Tools –Port and open the serial monitor with
the set baud rate (see sketch/code with Serial.begin(<BAUDRATE>);)

Important Warning
Important Warning
•The TLV493D-A1B6 has a maximum
rating of 3.5 V on any pin
•Third party boards with 5 V logic, e.g.
the Arduino Uno, cannot be connected
to the TLV493D 3DSense Shield2Go
board directly.
•Even if the power is connected to the
3.3 V pin, the interface lines, e.g.
SDA/SCL, will still be driven by 5 V
•Please use appropriate level shifting
for these boards
Not
