New Miniature 3-Axis Digital Compass Multi Module

This innovative product includes three 1043 series magnetoresistive sensors and a Honeywell developed ASIC containing amplification, strap drivers, offset cancellation, 12 bit ADC and an I² C serial bus interface. Measuring just 4 x 4 x 1.3mm surface mount with low height and weight make it ideal where space and weight are at a premium. By using established Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AWR) technology, this product has many advantages over similar products, such as being sensitive to low fields and having low hysteresis. The sensors feature precision in axis sensitivity and linearity, solid state construction with very low cross axis sensitivity, designed to measure both direction and magnitude of Earth's magnetic fields, from tens of micro-gauss to 6 gauss.

Designed for high volume, cost sensitive OEM Designs, and compatible with high speed SMT assembly it is available in tape and reel packaging. Compatible for battery powered applications it complies with current environmental standards. Demonstration and pin out boards for product evaluation and development are available.

This versatile device can be used in Auto navigation systems, personal navigation devices, Magnetometers and Consumer Electronics.
