In summary, along X-axis, the left Hall plate measures “B
- B
“-B
Through an appropriate signal processing, the Tria⊗is™ sensor front-end reports the three (3)
components of the applied magnetic flux density B i.e. B
Indeed, by subtracting the signals from the two (2) Hall plates in each pair, the components B
are measured while B
each pair, the component B
In a joystick based on a “gimbal” mechanism as shown on Figure 3 (left), the magnet (axial magnetization)
moves on a hemisphere centered at the IC. The flux density is described through the following
relationships:
Those components are plotted on the Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7.
