Features:
1. 3-axis geomagnetic measurement by one-chip LSI has become possible by Si-monolithic Hall elements and by unique technology for magnetic concentrator.
2. The combination of high-level technology of analogue signal operation and original digital estimation technology has achieved geomagnetic detection by Hall elements that had been thought impossible in the past.
3. By using excellent linearity and wide dynamic range of Hall elements, very wide measurement range such as ± 4900 microT is provieded.
4. Such high resolution as 0.15 microT (16-bit) is realized with low average current consumption; 280 microA at 8 Hz repetition rate.
5. The serial interface corresponds to I2C-bus interface and 4-wire SPI, so X-, Y-, and Z-axes components of geomagnetism can be output as digital signal.
6. A dedicated power supply is used for the serial interface, so the low-voltage operation at down to 1.65V is also covered.
7. A memory for storing the individual adjustment values of sensor sensitivity is built-in. The adjustment values are stored before shipment at AKM factory.
8. By the DRDY pin and register, system is informed that measured data is written to the register after measurement and ready to be read.
9. Built-in oscillator dispenses with the external clock input.
