MAG3110 Interrupt Pin Always HIGH

abdullahkahrama — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 21:03:07 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to implement MAG3110 to my project and I have already communicated with the device and read the register contents. I am also reading ZYXDR bit successfully of which I can see that it changes. The datasheet says that this bit is logically connected to the interrupt pin but the interrupt pin doesn't change.

I am using FRDM-KL25Z to interface the sensor. I have connected the interrupt pin of MAG3110 to NMI pin. Also, for test purposes I have left this pin floating but nothing changes. It is always HIGH.

Here is my code:

Re: MAG3110 Interrupt Pin Always HIGH

TomasVaverka — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 09:30:24 GMT

Hi Abdullah,

Could you please try using my simple example code I have just created to illustrate the INT1 pin behavior? I am also using the FRDM-KL25Z board in conjunction with the FRDM-FXS-MULTI-B board.

Attached you can also find a datalog file (MAG3110FC INT1_SCL_SDA pins.logicdata) with all INT1, SCL and SDA lines. I am using a Saleae Logic16 logic analyzer, so you will need to download their software to look at my datalog file.

As you can notice, the first tiny interrupt (~500ns wide) happens after POR which indicates completion of ASIC initialization (wakeup, fuse read, sensor reset etc.) and other interrupts, wider than the first one , indicate data is ready for read and get cleared after reading the data (OUT_X_MSB register).

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Tomas

PS: If my answer helps to solve your question, please mark it as "Correct" or “Helpful”. Thank you.

As you can see, my code is basically yours, already. I have copied your routines and such :smileyhappy:

I have downloaded your project files and changed it to use I2C0 instead of I2C1 and still, the result is the same. I cannot see any LOW level on interrupt pin after power up. When I check it with the oscilloscope, it just jumps to 3.3V and stays like that. Then, after about 4ms, KL25Z starts the data transfer and successfully communicates, but still, nothing changes on the interrupt pin.

According to what you say about the behavior of MAG3110, even if there is no MCU controlling it, there should be a low pulse of 500ns after POR. But I can see no change at all.

Hi Abdullah,

It is strange, I have not heard of such a problem before. Are you using your own board or one of our boards with the MAG3110FC? If you are using your own board, could you please share here its schematic? How many parts have you tested so far?

Regards,

Tomas

I am using my own homemade board and I will try to change the part now. Maybe I was not able to solder it properly. Below is my schematic.

I have changed the PCB and the MAG3110 with new ones, and this time INT pin goes down to only about 3 volts. Below is a photo of the PCB and a screenshot of the oscilloscope. CH1 (red) is I2C_CLK and CH2 (yellow) is INT pin while it is floating. When I connect INT pin to KL25Z's pin that is configured as input and NMI, the peak to peak value of the squarish wave gets reduced by about 100 times, so it basically almost 3.3V with little fluctuations on top.

Hi Abdullah,

After reviewing your layout and looking at your board, I guess I found where the problem is. It looks like you accidentally swapped both INT1 and VDDIO pins, having the INT1 pin (#9) connected to VDD and VDDIO pin (#8) to INT1. You will have to modify your layout or cut the traces at those pins and use wires to connect them properly.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Tomas
