3.3.1.3.2 DEF_PTC_TAU_TARGET

The calibration target applies a limit to the charge transfer loss allowed, where a higher setting of a target ensures a greater proportion of full charge is transferred. The PTC_TAU_TARGET is applicable only when CAL_AUTO_TUNE_NONE is NOT used. The time taken for a sensor to charge varies depending upon the values used here.

Bits 7:4 Calibration target

ValuesDescription
CAL_CHRG_2TAUThis gives two times the RC time constant for charging the sensor
CAL_CHRG_3TAUThis gives three times the RC time constant for charging the sensor
CAL_CHRG_4TAUThis gives four times the RC time constant for charging the sensor
CAL_CHRG_5TAUThis gives five times the RC time constant for charging the sensor
