HMC6042 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Honeywell HMC6042 is a 2-axis magnetoresistive sensor integrated with a mixed-signal ASIC, designed for low-field magnetic sensing applications such as compassing and magnetometry. Utilizing Honeywell's Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology, this sensor offers precision in-axis sensitivity and linearity, with very low cross-axis sensitivity.

The HMC6042 is packaged in a compact 5.0 x 3.6 x 1.0mm LCC surface mount module, making it suitable for highly integrated and cost-sensitive OEM designs. It operates on a low supply voltage range of 2.4 to 3.6V, compatible with battery-powered applications. The integrated ASIC includes sensor amplifiers and a set/reset strap driver circuit for degaussing and thermal drift compensation.

This sensor is designed to measure both the direction and magnitude of Earth's magnetic fields, with a wide magnetic field range of ±6 gauss. It can be used stand-alone for 2-axis compasses or in conjunction with other sensors for 3-axis, tilt-compensated compass systems. The sensor features include signal processing flexibility with feedback pins for gain and bandwidth shaping.
