Develops New Sensor for Robust Magnetic
Three-Axis Solution |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
Sept. 11 --
Honeywell Solid State Electronics Center today
introduced a robust, miniature, three-axis
magnetic sensing solution for next-generation
applications. To compliment its ultra small
HMC1052 two-axis sensor, Honeywell designed
the HMC1051Z, a single-axis sensor that when
used together, offer a miniature, low power,
low field three-axis magnetic sensing solution.
|
| |
| Both
the HMC1051Z and the HMC1052 have a sensitivity
of 1mV/V/Gauss, a wide field range up to ±
6 gauss, resolution of 120 microgauss and
can operate on a supply voltage as low as
1.8V. Patented on-chip set/reset straps
eliminate the effects of temperature drift
and stray magnetic fields to ensure accuracy
and reliability. They come in a small 8-Pin
SIP and 10-Pin MSOP packages.
|
| |
| For
compassing and position sensing applications
requiring ultra small size, low power and
high performance, the HMC1052 is a more cost-effective
solution. The HMC1052 is a two-axis sensor
ideal for handheld wireless appliance applications
such as location based services in mobile
phones, compassing and Global Positioning
(GPS) applications in personal digital assistants,
walkie talkies, watches and GPS receivers.
Advantages of this new patented design include
nearly perfect orthogonal two-axis sensing
in a 3mm x 3mm x 1mm 10-pin miniature surface
mount package (MSOP). Now with
this new sensor, Honeywell provides a way
to have a miniature, cost effective three-axis
magnetic sensing approach. |
