3-Axis Magnetic Sensor
QMC5883L
The QMC5883L is a multi-chip three-axis magnetic sensor. This
surface -mount, small sized chip has integrated magnetic sensors with
signal condition ASIC, targeted for high precision applications such as
compassing, navigation and gaming in drone, robot, mobile and
personal hand-held devices.
The QMC5883L is based on our state-of-the-art, high resolution,
magneto-resistive technology licensed from Honeywell AMR technology.
Along with custom-designed 16-bit ADC ASIC, it offers the advantages of
low noise, high accuracy, low power consumption, offset cancellation and
temperature compensation. QMC5883L enables 1° to 2° compass
heading accuracy. The I² serial bus allows for easy interface.
