Triple Axis Magnetometer - HMC5883L



Quick Overview:
The HMC5883L utilizes Honeywell’s Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology that 
provides advantages over other magnetic sensor technologies. These anisotropic, directional sensors feature precision in-axis sensitivity and linearity.  These sensors’ solid-state construction with very low cross-axis sensitivity is designed to measure both the direction and  the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic fields, from milli-gauss to 8 gauss. Honeywell’s Magnetic Sensors are among the most  sensitive and reliable low-field sensors in the industry.


Triple Axis Magnetometer - HMC5883L Features:


  • 3-Axis Magnetoresistive sensors and ASIC in a 3.0x3.0x0.9mm LCC surface mount package
  • 12-Bit ADC coupled with low noise AMR sensors achieves 2 milli-gauss field resolution in ±8 Gauss fields
  • Low Voltage Operations (2.16 to 3.6V) and low power consumption (100 μa)
  • I2C Digital Interface
  • Popular two-wire serial data interface for consumer electronics
  • Rohs compliance
  • Wide magnetic field range (+/-8 Oe)
  • Sensors can be used in strong magnetic field environments with a 1° to 2° degree compass heading accuracy
  • Fast 160 Hz maximum output rate
  • High quality PCB FR4 Grade with FPT Certified.
