Gain Setting and Compensation Frequency
The DRV411EVM provides two jumpers to configure the gain and sensor excitation frequency selection.
The gain selection input pins are pulled to ground, or logic ‘0’ by default (jumpers ‘open’). Closing the
jumpers places the associated GSEL pin at the applied Vcc potential (logic ‘1’).

EVM Operation
There are four pin sockets on the left side of the EVM for mounting the user-supplied Hall-sensor. Besides
indium antimonide (InSb) Hall elements, the DRV411 can also be connected to symmetrical gallium
arsenide (GaAs) Hall elements such as the HG-302C from

With a Hall sensor mounted to the DRV411, the user is then free to mount their compensation coil to the
‘drilling area’ noted on the EVM. The area inside the silkscreen is free of any copper and can be used as
needed to provide a means of securing the coil to the EVM. Connectors J1 and J2 are provided to
terminate the compensation coil. Pins 1 and 2 of both J1 and J2 are connected together and then back to
the ICOMP and IAIN pins of the DRV411 (please refer to the

coil can be terminated at either the J1 or the J2 location, or between J1 and J2, if necessary.
Once the sensor and compensation coil are mounted to the EVM, apply a current limited (50 mA max)
5-V DC source to the banana jacks or test points labeled VCC and GND. The current to be monitored by
the DRV411 can then be applied through the compensation coil primary winding.
