Three-Axis Magnetic Sensor Boasts World’s Highest Performance
In addition to stability over temperature and time, magnetic sensors need to be insensitivity to external magnetic disturbance. Using its proprietary anisotropic magnetic resistive (AMR) technology, MEMSIC’s MMC3524xPJ Three-Axis Magnetic Sensor has tackled these issues. The sensor’s offset drift over temperature is <1.5mGauss, which is more than 100x better than the nearest competitor and it […]
Wearable Connected Watch & Development Kit
Announced as the first of a kind at CES2014, MEMSIC’s sensor development kit (SDK) MMW-SDK allows system designers to add an integrated e-Compass to a connected watch. Meta Watch Ltd worked with MEMSIC to integrate the e-Compass into its MetaWatch family of smart watches. The e-Compass uses MEMSIC’s recently introduced MMC3416xPJ ultra low noise, low […]
Downloadable eCompass Library Runs on Microcontroller
When expert-designed code is available for the sensors in your design, rolling your own code seems like a undesirable and time-consuming alternative. Verification that the software runs on a specific microcontroller platform is an added plus. Working with Atmel, MEMSIC has done both with the e-Compass software for its MMC3416xPJ ultra low noise, low power magnetometer. […]
