HMC1002 2-Axis Magnetic Sensors
Datasheet
configured as a 4-element wheatstone bridge, these magnetoresistive sensors convert magnetic fields to a differential output voltage, capable of sensing
magnetic fields as low as 30 μgauss. These MRs offer a small, low cost, high sensitivity and high reliability solution for low field magnetic sensing
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Wide Field Range:
Field range up to ±6 gauss, (earth’s field = 0.5 gauss)
Small Package:
- Designed for 1- and 2-axis to work together to provide 3-axis (x, y, z) sensing
- 1-axis part in an 8-pin SIP or an 8-pin SOIC or a ceramic 8-pin DIP package
- 2-axis part in a 16-pin or 20-pin SOIC package
Solid State:
These small devices reduce board assembly costs, improve reliability and ruggedness compared to mechanical fluxgates.
On-Chip Coils:
Patented on-chip set/reset straps to reduce effects of temperature drift, non-linearity errors and loss of signal output due to the presence of high magnetic fields
Patented on-chip offset straps for elimination of the effects of hard iron distortion
Cost Effective:
The sensors were specifically designed to be affordable for high volume OEM applications
