B
reakthrough design contains a
compact, high performance
two-axis magnetoresistive
sensors on a single chip.
Advantages of this patented
design include perfectly
orthogonal two-axis sensing,
ultra small size and low power
in a 10-pin miniature surface
mount package.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Low Power
Supply voltage could be as low as 1.8V.
Small Package
Available in a 10-pin miniature surface mount package (MSOP) with total mounting envelope
of 3mm x 3mm x 1mm.
High Performance
Sensitivity of 1mV/V/Oe with a wide field range up to +/- 6 Oe.
High Accuracy
Nearly perfect orthogonal two-axis sensing (Error < 0.01°) and matched sensitivity on both
axis eliminates errors in compassing applications.
On-Chip Coils
Patented on-chip set/reset straps reduces the effects of temperature drift, non-linearity
errors and loss of signal output due to the presence of high magnetic fields.

SENSOR PRODUCTS
BASIC DEVICE OPERATION
HMC1052 is a two-axis linear magnetic field sensor. Like
the other Honeywell HMC10xx devices, each sensor is a
resistive Wheatstone bridge formed by a magnetoresistive metal film. When a power supply is connected
to the bridge, the sensor converts any ambient or applied
magnetic field in the sensitive direction to a voltage
output. This device contains two magnetic field sensors
with sensitive directions perpendicular to each other;
Sensor A and Sensor B coexist on a single silicon chip with
nearly perfect orthogonality and matching characteristics. This patented design offers several advantages including small chip size, low operating voltage and eliminates orthogonality errors caused by two chips.
In addition to the Wheatstone bridges, HMC1052 has two
on-chip magnetically coupled straps – the OFFSET strap
and the SET/RESET strap. Sensor A and Sensor B share
the same OFFSET strap and the SET/RESET strap. These
two straps provide localized magnetic fields to sensitive
and insensitive directions for Sensor A and Sensor B,
respectively. The SET/RESET strap can be used to ensure
high accuracy and to flip the polarity of the output
response.The OFFSET strap can be used to calibrate the
sensor or to offset any undesired stray field. For more
information on OFFSET and SET/RESET straps, please
refer to Honeywell data sheet “1- and 2-Axis Magnetic
Sensors”.
In the standard MSOP 10-pin package, these two sensors
can be powered independently for low power consumption. However, there is no access to OFFSET strap in this
package. For applications that requires the OFFSET
strap, an alternative package can be assessed and implemented.
