Honeywell
Introduces Miniature Two-Axis Magnetic Sensor
Low Cost Solution for Low Field Magnetic Sensing
Applications |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
Minnesota, May 15, 2002
- Honeywell [NYSE:HON] today introduced the
HMC1052L two-axis magnetic sensor, adding
a highly sensitive, highly reliable, low cost
option to its extended family of magnetic
sensor products - the HMC105X series. This
magnetoresistive sensor comes in a Leadless
Chip Carrier (LCC) miniature (3 x 3 x 0.9mm)
package, yet offers an improvement in performance
over larger devices. |
| |
The
HMC1052L senses earth's magnetic field and
is an excellent choice for low cost, high
volume, low field sensing situations where
miniature size is critical to the product's
design. Compassing and navigation products
with tight space constraints like hand held
products can take advantage of this new sensor's
design.
The magnetoresistive sensor design within
the package positions the chips for orthogonal
two-axis sensing. Two AMR bridges are contained
in one package. The HMC1052L is capable of
sensing fields below 0.1 milligauss and offers
users reliable compassing accuracy. The sensors
are able to convert magnetic fields to differential
output voltages. Honeywell's complete family
of magnetic sensor-based products offers high
sensitivity for accurate compassing, remote
vehicle detection monitoring, virtual reality,
position sensing, security systems and medical
instrumentation. |
