General Description
The Honeywell HMC1043 is a miniature three-axis surface mount sensor array designed for low field magnetic sensing.
By adding the HMC1043 with supporting signal processing, a cost effective and space-efficient 3-axis magnetometer or
compassing solution is enabled. This ultra-compact, low cost solution is easy to assemble for high volume OEM designs.
Applications for the HMC1043 include Compassing, Navigation Systems, Magnetometry, and Current Sensing.
The HMC1043 utilizes Honeywell's Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology that provides advantages over coil based
magnetic sensors. They are extremely sensitive, low field, solid-state magnetic sensors designed to measure direction
and magnitude of Earth's magnetic fields, from tens of micro-gauss to 6 gauss. Honeywell's Magnetic Sensors are among
the most sensitive and reliable lowfield sensors in the industry.
Honeywell continues to maintain product excellence and performance by introducing innovative solid-state magnetic sensor
solutions. These are highly reliable, top performance products that are delivered when promised. Honeywell's magnetic
sensor solutions provide real solutions you can count on.
