MPS TBMA Test Board for the MagAlpha

MPS TBMA Test Board for the MagAlpha

DESCRIPTION

The TBMA is a test board for the MagAlpha magnetic position sensor family. The TBMA allows users to run and test MagAlpha sensors quickly. TBMA boards come in two different formats: round (RD) and long (LT). In the RD format, the sensor is mounted in an end-ofshaft configuration. In the LT format, the sensor is mounted on the edge of the board and can be used in both side-shaft and end-of-shaft configurations.

The TBMA is compatible with the Macom kit, offering seamless connection and operation of the MagAlpha and allowing users to evaluate MagAlpha functionalities and performances with their own set-up.

Contrary to the EVMA, the TBMA test board only includes the assembled board with the sensor and decoupling capacitors. It does not include connectors.

FEATURES

  • Round Board Format for End-of-Shaft Mounting
  • Long Board Format for Side Shaft and Endof-Shaft Mounting
  • Compatible with MagAlpha Communication Interface Kit (EVKT-MACOM)

APPLICATIONS

  • Servo Drives
  • Robotics
  • Automotive
  • BLDC Motor Commutation
  • Encoders

All MPS parts are lead-free, halogen-free, and adhere to the RoHS directive. For MPS green status, please visit the MPS website under Quality Assurance. “MPS” and “The Future of Analog IC Technology” are registered trademarks of Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.

    Overview

BOARD TYPE

Different board types are available, and each has a different schematic and layout design (see Table 1). The board type to use is determined by the selected sensor part number.

Each board type is also available in two different formats: a round shape test board (RD), or a long shape test board (LT). The board part number specifies which format is used:

  • TBMAXXX-Q-RD-XXX = round shape test board
  • TBMAXXX-Q-LT-XXX = long shape test board

Both RD and LT board formats can be used for end-of-shaft configurations where the sensor is positioned at the end of the motor or knob shaft. For side-shaft configurations where the sensor is positioned perpendicularly to the motor or knob shaft, only the RD board format can be used.

MAGNET SUPPLIERS

Table 6 shows a non-exhaustive list of possible magnet suppliers. The magnetization direction must be chosen wisely given the fact that most sold magnets are often axially magnetized, which is not a magnetization direction usually required in magnetic angle sensing applications. Angle sensing applications typically use diametrically magnetized magnets.
