Block Diagram
The IC consists of a chopped hall-probe (mono-cell in the centre of the chip) with a chopped preamplifier. Next there is a summing node for threshold level adjustment. The threshold switching is actually done in the main comparator. A converter feeds a digital calibration logic. This logic monitors the digitalized signal by looking for minimum and maximum values and also calculates correction values for threshold adjustment. The static switching level is simply done by fetching a digital value out of a PROM.
