HONEYWELL
INTRODUCES INTEGRATED COMPASS SENSOR
Sensor Designed for
Mobile Wireless and Consumer Electronics |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
July 9, 2003 -- Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today
introduced an integrated compass sensor for
vehicle and mobile wireless platforms. The
sensor is composed of a two-axis magnetic
sensor and all critical analog circuits needed
to add a compass function to consumer Selectronics. |
| |
| "Honeywell's
integrated compass sensor offers circuit board
designers an easy-to-use, chip-scale option
to be used in the development of low-cost
electronics," said Tamara Bratland, Honeywell
magnetics product line manager. "When
combined with a microprocessor, the HMC6052
sensor can provide compass and location-based
services in watches, wireless phones and personal
digital assistants." |
| |
| The
integrated compass sensor measures just 4
by 4 by 0.9 millimeters and is packaged in
a 12-pin leadless chip carrier. The heading
resolution of the compass depends on a designer's
choice of analog-to-digital converters precision
and component-printed circuit board location.
The compass is appropriate for battery-powered
(2.5 to 3.6V) applications and can be used
in systems with tight power budgets. |
| |
| The
Honeywell family of magnetic sensor-based
products offers high sensitivity for accurate
electronic compassing, magnetometry, telematics,
vehicle detection, position sensing and security
systems. More information about the integrated
compass sensor is on the Honeywell Web at
