Sensorwell
HMC2003 magnetic hybrid
The Honeywell HMC2003 is a high sensitivity, three-axis magnetic sensor hybrid
assembly used to measure low magnetic field strengths. Honeywell’s most sensitive
magneto-resistive sensors (HMC1001 and HMC1002) are utilized to provide the
reliability and precision of this magnetometer design.
The HMC2003 interface is all analog with critical nodes brought out to the pin
interfaces for maximum user flexibility. The internal excitation current source and
selected gain and offset resistors, reduces temperature errors plus gain and offset
drift. Three precision low-noise instrumentation amplifiers with 1kHz low pass filters
provide accurate measurements while rejecting unwanted noise.
Applications include: Precision Compassing, Navigation Systems, Attitude
Reference, Traffic Detection, Proximity Detection and Medical Devices
