TLE5501 Eval Kit
General description
1 General description
The Eval Kit consists of:
• an Infineon XMC1100 Boot Kit (microcontroller)
• the TLE5501 Angle Shield which can be plugged onto the Boot Kit
• a “magnetic knob” that can be mounted on top of the shield
Figure 1 Infineon XMC1100 Boot Kit
Figure 2 TLE5501 Angle Shield
The Eval Kit is complemented by the TLE5501 Eval Kit GUI (Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window, see
Figure 3).
For connection to the PC a micro USB cable is required.
Notes
1. The Eval Kit assumes that the sensor gets 5 V via USB and the integrated regulator on the XMC Boot Kit.
2. All calculations are made with the above assumption! If you create your own setup please also take into
account VDD monitoring. Please respect the instructions in the TLE5501 E0002 Safety Manual.

General description
TLE5501 Angle Shield description
The TLE5501 Angle Shield has to be plugged onto the Boot Kit. Care has to be taken that the pins are correctly
aligned.
The TLE5501 sensor is soldered on the shield in a “breakout” area that can be easily broken of the shield and
used in another application if needed.
The shield has mounting holes for a magnetic knob that can be used to demonstrate the functionality of the
sensor.
The shield has also a voltage buffer available on board, and the output of the sensor can be optionally buffered
by selecting the correct DIP switch settings.

Installation
2 Installation
1. Connect the Eval Kit with an USB cable to an USB port on your computer.
2. Install the programmer software by double-clicking on the file: TLE5501_EvalKit_vx.msi.
3. If you do not have installed Segger Driver & .NET 3.5 included with this installer, install them.
4. Start the installed software TLE5501 – Eval Kit.

3.1 Connection to PC
After starting the software, a device should appear in the Programmer list, click
the Connect button to connect the Eval Kit.
In the Sensor drop-down list select the sensor TLE5501 and click Start.
The Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window shows the real time angle read-out
of the sensor and other related information (see Figure 3).

3.2 Sensor readout
The Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors window displays the uncalibrated differential angle with the angle gauge.
It also reports the voltage for each output (SinP, CosP, SinN, CosN).

3.3 How to calibrate
For analog angle sensors, the offset, amplitude and orthogonality of the raw signals sin and cos has to be
calibrated to achive high angl eaccuracy. This calibration procedure can be performed as described below:
Click Calibrate. The calibration window appears.
In den calibration window click Ok.
Rotate the magnet 360° in the direction shown in the
calibration window. If the red label turns green, press Ok.
Repeat the process for the other direction, press Ok.

3.4 Safety features
• The right-down area of the Evaluation Kit for Angle
Sensors window displays information that is related
to the safety concept for TLE5501 described in the
Product Safety Manual.
• To get all the safety fields populated a calibration is
required.
• The external safety mechanisms were implemented
in the Eval Kit and violations of the expected values
are presented in red.
• If you hover with the mouse over the Iicon after
performing a calibration you will see more
information about the calibration parameters.

3.5 Output buffer
On the sensor shield, there are 4 DIP switches which allow to select an output buffer for the analog raw signal
sin and cos. With this buffer enabled, a low output impedance is provided.
For special application, e.g. which high capacitive load, this option is preferred as it avoids thehigh impedance
of theTMR bridge.
