Honeywell's HMC6352 2-Axis Digital Integrated Compass Solution

Low Cost, Compact Digital Compass for Next-Generation Applications
 
Honeywell introduces the HMC6352, a two-axis, chip-scale digital compass for GPS applications, personal navigation, vehicle telematics, consumer electronics, and general two-axis compassing.
 

 
Product Definition
 
The HMC6352 integrates Honeywell's patented two-axis magnetic sensor with the required analog and digital support circuits for heading computation. For the ultimate in electronic functionality, this innovative electronic compass provides an electronic compass function using two-axis magnetic field sensing. To speed your design cycle, the HMC6352 is easy to use as a drop in, plug and play component.

Honeywell's digital compass combines the sensor elements and all the processing electronics in a 6.5mm square package to satisfy smaller, next generation applications. Aimed for low power battery operation on OEM printed circuit boards, the HMC6352 uses a I2C digital interface slaved to the manufacturer's microprocessor to transfer compass heading data. Heading update rates from 1 to 20Hz are selectable.
