- Programmable flux resolution down to 65 µT (typical)
- Extremely small form factor: 1.13 mm x 0.93 mm x 0.59 mm (typical)
- X-Y angular measurement mode
- Power-down mode with 7 nA power consumption (typical)
- 12-bit data resolution for each measurement direction plus 10-bit temperature sensor
- Variable update frequencies and power modes (configurable during operation)
- Temperature range: -40°C to +125°C
- Supply voltage range: 2.8 V to 3.5 V
- Triggering by external microcontroller possible via I²C protocol
- Interrupt signal to indicate a valid measurement to the microcontroller
Applications
- Anti-tempering protection in smart meters
- Joysticks for medical equipment, cranes, CCTV-control, game consoles, and industrial applications
- Control elements in white goods (i.e. multifunction knobs)
- Ergonomic push-and-control buttons on domestic appliances and power tools
- Position control in robotics
