Introduction
1 Introduction
Infineon’s 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go is a compact evaluation kit to familiarize the user with the 3D Hall sensor
TLE493D-A2B6. In a short time the board is set up and own 3D magnetic measurements can be executed. All
required hardware is included and the soware can be downloaded for free from the Infineon web page.
This user manual describes the dierent parts of the board, the soware 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.

The required soware to run the kit can be found at the Infineon web site. For further information refer to the
chapter Soware installation.
The soware 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 soware 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 dierent 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-A2B6. For the availability of 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kits with dierent
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 dierent 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.

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 shis 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.

3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go evaluation kit
EvalBoard description
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. Aer 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.
