Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Hall Current 19 Click is based on the CZ3AG2, a coreless current sensor from AKM Semiconductor. This sensor uses Hall sensor technology to provide an analog voltage output proportional to the AC/DC current on the AN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. Using a Group III-V semiconductor thin film as the Hall element, the CZ3AG2 ensures high-accuracy and high-speed current sensing. It also includes functions for reducing stray magnetic fields and dual overcurrent detection. Being UL 61800-5-1
safety compliant, the CZ3AG2-based Hall Current 19 Click is perfect for industrial AC drives, servo motors, UPS systems, general inverters, and power conditioners. As mentioned, this Click board™ is equipped with dual overcurrent detection capabilities on the OC1 and OC2 pins of the mikroBUS™ socket. Using voltage dividers R6/R9 and R7/R10, it sets precise current limits ranging from 7A to 17.5A. This ensures that any current value falling outside this specified range will be
promptly detected by the overcurrent detectors, providing reliable protection and accurate measurement. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VIO SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview
Development board
Nucleo 32 with STM32F031K6 MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages. Featuring Arduino™ Nano connectivity, it allows easy expansion with specialized shields, while being mbed-enabled for seamless integration with online resources. The
board includes an on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, supporting USB reenumeration with three interfaces: Virtual Com port, mass storage, and debug port. It offers a flexible power supply through either USB VBUS or an external source. Additionally, it includes three LEDs (LD1 for USB communication, LD2 for power,
and LD3 as a user LED) and a reset push button. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is supported by various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IAR™, Keil®, and GCC-based IDEs like AC6 SW4STM32, making it a versatile tool for developers.

* @file main.c
* @brief Hall Current 19 Click Example.
*
* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of Hall Current 19 Click board
* by reading and displaying the current measurements.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and logger, and set the zero voltage reference.
*
* ## Application Task
* The demo application reads the current measurements [A] and displays the results.
* Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.
