Abstract
- This paper considers the possibilities of using digital feedback for precise anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR) magnetometers using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Requiring only a few analog parts, most of the signal processing is done digitally within an STM32 microcontroller. Because most of the precision is made by the feedback circuit, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) can be a low-cost type. The compensation source is made with a pulsewidth modulation-driven H-bridge sourced from a voltage reference, so the cost reduction when compared to a “full-analog” design is large. The demodulation of a flipped-AMR signal is done with software after the AD conversion because it improves the offset stability and brings the reduction of the preamp’s and ADC’s LF noise. This paper presents the full characterization of a real instrument, including its noise, linearity, stability, and power consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
