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.

4.3 Joystick view
The joystick view is a virtual representation of a real joystick with an attached magnet, mounted above the 3D
magnetic sensor.
It is intended to be used with the Joystick adapter available for the 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit. For order
details and information about the used magnet refer to section Hardware extensions .
The soware measures the magnetic field in all three dimensions and calculates the angles necessary to
determine the joystick position. Further information is given in the application note "Infineon 3D Magnetic
Sensor - How to Make a Magnetic Design for Joystick" which can be found on the Infineon home page.
Figure 29 Joystick view
4.4 Rotation view
In this view the calculated spherical coordinates of the magnetic field are displayed. Additionally it includes a
graphical presentation of the 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go rotary knob attachment .
The polar coordinates consist of the radius r as well as the angles Phi and Theta. They are calculated out of the
measured three dimensional magnetic field with following equations:
r = Bx2+ By2+ Bz
Phi = arccos
Theta = arctan
Below the polar coordinates a virtual rotation knob can be found. It can be used with the rotary knob
attachment described in Hardware extensions. When the user turns the hardware knob, also the indicator in
the GUI turns. This is achieved by measuring the magnetic field and calculating the angle between Bx and By as
described above. Also a push functionality is implemented depending on the radius r of the magnetic field.
