HMC6343 Three-Axis Compass with Algorithms

The Honeywell HMC6343 is a fully integrated compass module that includes firmware for heading computation and calibration for magnetic distortions. The module combines three-axis magneto-resistive sensor, three-axis MEMS accelerometer, analog and digital support circuits, microprocessor and algorithms required for heading computation. By combining the sensor elements, processing electronics, and firmware into a 9.0mm by 9.0mm by 1.9mm LCC package, Honeywell offers a complete, ready to use tiltcompensated electronic compass. This provides design engineers with the simplest solution to integrate high volume, cost effective compasses into binoculars, cameras, night vision optics, laser ranger finders, antenna positioning, and other industrial compassing applications.
The HMC6343 utilizes Honeywell’s Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology that provides advantages over other magnetic sensor technologies. The sensors feature precision sensitivity and linearity, solid-state construction with very low cross-axis sensitivity designed to measure both direction and magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field. Honeywell’s Magnetic Sensors are among the most sensitive and reliable low-field sensors in the industry.
