the highest accuracy sensors
in their class, PNI’s
patented Reference Magnetic Sensor Suites deliver high
performance resolution and repeatability with extremely low
noise. The Reference Magnetic Sensor Suites have a wide field
measurement range, superior noise immunity, no hysteresis, and
are extremely stable over temperature. All this comes with the
lowest power consumption in the industry.
Unlike magneto-resistive sensors, PNI’s Reference Magnetic Sensor
Suites do not require temperature calibration nor high current
set and reset pauses before each measurement. Hence, they are
simple to design in, and peak current requirement is dramatically
less. It isn’t surprising that this patented technology has been
proven across a wide spectrum of applications, including motion
tracking, compassing, robotics and targeting.
Reference Magnetic Sensor Suites
RM3000 & RM 2000
Reference Magnetic Sensor Suites
are designed to enable 3D (RM3000) and 2D
(RM2000) applications and are optimized for
use in game controllers, solid-state navigation
devices, and handheld devices with integrated
Sen-XY (horizontal mount)
compassing functions. The Suites consist of
Sen-Z (vertical mount)
2 or 3 Reference Magnetic sensors driven
by PNI’s 3D MagIC ASIC. The interface to the 3D MagIC ASIC is through an
SPI bus; eliminating the need for signal conditioning or an analog/digital
converter.

An all-digital demo board is available for design and prototyping for highvolume applications, as well as use in research, education and hobby use.
The RM3000 demo board integrates PNI’s Reference Magnetic Sensors and
3D MagIC ASIC onto a single PCB.

RM3000 enables unparalleled performance in 3D applications. It contains
two Sen-XY sensors, one Sen-Z sensor plus the new 3D MagIC ASIC
controller.
RM2000 enables 2D applications and contains two Sen-XY sensors plus
the new 3D MagIC ASIC controller.
RM3000 demo board incorporates the 3-axis sensor suite with PNI’s
3DMagIC ASIC controller on a single PCB, and is ideal for prototyping
applications such as video game controllers and TV remote controller
devices that require high refresh rates and high magnetic sensor
resolution. The SPI interface allows direct interface to a microprocessor,
eliminating the need for additional signal processing. For 2D applications
the third axis can simply be turned off.
