HMC6343 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Honeywell HMC6343 is a complete, tilt-compensated electronic compass module designed for easy integration into various applications. It combines three-axis magneto-resistive sensors, a three-axis MEMS accelerometer, and a microprocessor with firmware for heading computation and magnetic distortion calibration.

 

This module offers a heading accuracy of 2.0° RMS at level with ±15° tilt and a resolution of 0.1°. It operates within a magnetic field range of ±1500 mgauss and supports a tilt range of ±80° from horizontal. The HMC6343 features a digital serial data interface using I2C for straightforward communication.

 

Packaged in a compact 9.0mm x 9.0mm x 1.9mm LCC surface mount package, the HMC6343 is suitable for high-volume, cost-effective integration into devices such as binoculars, cameras, night vision optics, and antenna positioning systems. It operates at low voltages, making it compatible with battery-powered applications, and is constructed with a lead-free package.

 

The module utilizes Honeywell’s Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology, known for its precision sensitivity, linearity, and solid-state construction with low cross-axis sensitivity. It is designed to measure both the direction and magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field.
