Reference Magnetic Sensor Suites RM3000 & RM2000 WHERE HIGH PERFORMANCE MEETS LOW POWER. 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. LOW P OW E R HIGH RESOLUTION 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. Available suites: p n i s e n s o r c o rp o ra t i o n 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. is America’s leader in the exacting science of turning information from the Earth’s magnetic field into usable orientation data.
