The Honeywell HMC5883L is a surface-mount, multi-chip module
designed for low-field magnetic sensing with a digital interface
for applications such as lowcost compassing and magnetometry. The
HMC5883L includes our state-of-theart, high-resolution HMC118X
series magneto-resistive sensors plus an ASIC containing
amplification, automatic degaussing strap drivers, offset
cancellation, and a 12-bit ADC that enables 1° to 2° compass
heading accuracy. The I2C serial bus allows for easy interface. The
HMC5883L is a 3.0x3.0x0.9mm surface mount 16-pin leadless chip
carrier (LCC). Applications for the HMC5883L include Mobile Phones,
Netbooks, Consumer Electronics, Auto Navigation Systems, and
Personal Navigation Devices.
