1 AND 2-AXIS MAGNETIC SENSORS
Features
Small 8-Pin SIP or 10-Pin MSOP Packages Two AMR Bridges in One Package Wide Field Range of +/- 6 Gauss 1.0 m V/V/gauss Sensitivity High Accuracy Compassing (Error <0.01°) Low Power Operation Down to 1.8V Patented On-chip Set/Reset Straps
Product Description
The Honeywell HMC1051Z and HMC1052 are high performance magnetoresistive sensor designs on a single chip. The advantages of these patented chips include perfectly orthogonal two-axis sensing (HMC1052), ultra small size and low power capability in miniature surface mount packages.
Each of the magnetoresistive sensors are configured as a 4-element wheatstone bridge to convert magnetic fields to differential output voltages. Capable of sensing fields below 0.1 milligauss, these sensors offer a compact, low cost, high sensitivity and highly reliable solution for low field magnetic sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HMC1051 and HMC1052?
HMC1051 is a single-axis sensor, while HMC1052 provides perfectly orthogonal two-axis sensing.
How low can these sensors sense magnetic fields?
They are capable of sensing fields below 0.1 milligauss.
What resolution does the HMC1052 offer at 50Hz and Vbridge=5V?
The resolution is 120 degrees-gauss for the X,Y sensors (HMC1052 only).
Under what conditions should I use a Set/Reset pulse?
Use an S/R pulse to restore sensitivity if the disturbing field causes degradation.
