The new MMC212xMR integrates two-axis magnetic sensors and electronic circuits resulting in an easy to use solution for system designers. It utilizes the same anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) technology as MEMSIC’s MMC2120XM magnetic sensor product, but the MMC212xMR is packaged in a significantly smaller package (3.0×3.0x1.0mm), which is important to board space critical applications like mobile handsets.
The MMC212xMR works with MEMSIC’s intelligent heading correction (IHC) library of auto-calibration and dynamic compensation algorithms to provide compass performance. MEMSIC’s IHC algorithms enable the compass to establish and maintain an accurate heading with normal use and without procedures for manually calibrating the device. These capabilities lead to a more robust and user-friendly solution, providing the end-user with much more accurate heading information.
The MMC212xMR is ideally suited for applications such as mobile handsets, personal navigation devices and sports watches.
Pricing for the product starts at $1.90 per unit for 1000 units.
