Three-Axis Magnetic Sensor Boasts World’s Highest Performance

June 4, 2014 By Randy Frank

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 […]

Downloadable eCompass Library Runs on Microcontroller

November 11, 2013 By Randy Frank

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. […]
