Xtrinsic MAG3110 Three-Axis, Digital
Magnetometer
Freescale’s MAG3110 is a small, low-power, digital 3-axis magnetometer.
The device can be used in conjunction with a 3-axis accelerometer to realize an
orientation independent electronic compass that can provide accurate heading
information. It features a standard I
2
C serial interface output and smart embedded
functions.
The MAG3110 is capable of measuring magnetic fields with an output data rate
(ODR) up to 80 Hz; these output data rates correspond to sample intervals from
12.5 ms to several seconds.
The MAG3110 is available in a plastic DFN package and it is guaranteed to
operate over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Features
1.95 V to 3.6 V supply voltage (VDD)
1.62 V to VDD IO voltage (VDDIO)
Ultra small 2 mm x 2 mm x 0.85 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, 10-pin package
Full-scale range ±1000 T
Sensitivity of 0.10 T
Noise down to 0.25 T rms
Output Data Rates (ODR) up to 80 Hz
400 kHz Fast Mode compatible I
