Honeywell
Introduces the HMC1055 Chip Set
Includes All the Elements
to Design a Three-Axis Magnetic Compass |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
Minnesota, Sept. 23, 2002
- Honeywell [NYSE:HON] today introduced the
HMC1055, the first in a new series of three-axis
magnetic sensor products made for the compass
designer. The HMC1055 3-Axis Compass Sensor
Set includes Honeywell's magnetic sensors,
the HMC1051Z, HMC1052, and a dual-axis accelerometer
to be used as a tilt sensor. These products
make up the five axes of measurement (X, Y,
and Z-axis headings; plus pitch and roll)
which provides the sensing elements needed
to make an electronically gimbaled compass. |
| |
| This
chip set allows users to design their own
tilt-compensated compass solutions. It ships
with a datasheet including application notes
for reference compass design, with pinouts
and footprints of the sensors for a compass
circuit implementation. |
| |
| Honeywell
is establishing an alliance with MEMSIC, Inc.
N. Andover, MA to supply their two-axis accelerometer,
as a cost effective method of sensing tilt.
It is supplied in a miniature LCC-8 package
(5mm x 5mm x 2mm), and uses a thermal means
of sensing pitch and roll accurately up to
±60° without moving parts. |
| |
| Honeywell's
HMC1051Z and HMC1052 are high performance
Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive (AMR) sensors
designed for small spaces. The HMC1052 offers
perfectly orthogonal two-axis sensing, ultra
small size and low power capability in a miniature
surface mount package. The HMC1051Z uses the
same technology as the HMC1052, but is conveniently
packaged in a 8-pin SIP format to provide
a vertical oriented sensor, thus requiring
no extra daughterboard for the Z-Axis sensor
orientation. |
| |
| The
resulting HMC1055 chip set is an easy to use,
cost effective solution for the compass system
design engineer who needs three-axis compass
sensing for the product application; but wants
a "head start" using the reference
design and proven sensors. |
| |
| Honeywell's
complete family of magnetic sensor-based products
offer high sensitivity for accurate compassing,
remote vehicle detection monitoring, virtual
reality, position sensing, security systems
and medical instrumentation. For more information
