4.3.6 RESET (Reset)

RESET must be toggled from LOW-HIGH-LOW before sending a measurement

command. RESET is usually LOW.

4.3.7 VDD (DC Voltage Input)

It is recommended the user supply 3.0 VDC on this line, in part because the bias

resistor values on the MicroMag module were optimized for 3.0 VDC operation.

However, the MicroMag can be run at other voltages within the specification.

While not necessary, if the MicroMag will be run at some other voltage it may be

desirable to change the bias resistors for better performance. Refer to the

PNI ASIC

User Manual

for bias resistor values for other operating voltages. The resistors to be

changed are labeled R1, R2, R3, R4, R6, & R7.

4.3.8 COMP (Comparator)

COMP is only available on the MicroMag2 and it provides the output signal from

the comparator component built into the PNI ASIC. This is used for diagnostics.

4.3.9 DHST (Clock Output)

DHST is only available on the

MicroMag2 and it outputs the ASIC’s high speed

clock, but at half the speed. This is used for diagnostics.
