Honeywell introduces the HMC6352, a two-axis, chip-scale digital compass for GPS applications, personal navigation, vehicle telematics, consumer electronics, and general two-axis compassing. The HMC6352 is easy to use as a drop in, plug and play component. Honeywell’s digital compass combines the sensor elements and all the processing electronics in a 6.5mm square package to satisfy smaller, next generation applications. Aimed for low power battery operation on OEM printed circuit boards, the HMC6352 uses a I2C digital interface slaved to the manufacturer’s microprocessor to transfer compass heading data. Heading update rates from 1 to 20Hz are selectable.
