What is the function of the RESET button in the ADMT4000 evaluation GUI and the magnetic reset coil on the EVAL-ADMT4000S1DZ PCB? What are the rubber tabs on the PCB for? What does the RESET button on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z do? What is the function of Pin 22 (R
The RESET button in the GUI activates the magnetic reset coil on the EVAL-ADMT4000S1DZ PCB, which is embedded internally within the PCB stack-up and not visible externally. The rubber tabs on the PCB are only mechanical standoffs used as PCB feet and have no electrical function. Pressing the RESET button on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z resets the interface board itself, not the ADMT4000, and can cause the software connection to freeze or lock up. Pin 22 (RESETb) resets the ADMT4000 digital and analog circuitry, returning the device to its power-up state with registers reloaded to default values, but it does not reset the GMR turn-count sensor. The GMR Turn Count Sensor resets to 46 turns due to the internal magnetic memory architecture, and this cannot be changed by configuration. The Min_ANGLE and Max_ANGLE values displayed in the GUI are visual guides used during proper magnetic alignment for the reset procedure, and they depend on the combined magnetic field from the system magnet and the reset coil,
