Overview

The MMC5603NJ is a high-performance 3-axis AMR (Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive) sensor capable of 20-bit resolution and a 1kHz bandwidth. It features integrated degaussing and sensitivity compensation to maintain accuracy across a +/-3mT sensing range while operating on a wide supply voltage from 1.62V to 3.6V.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers a extremely low sleep current of 1uA and integrated degaussing functionality to eliminate residual magnetism. It supports both I2C and I3C interfaces, allowing for high-speed communication in a compact 0.8mm x 0.8mm WLP package.

Applications

Electronic Compass
Provides high-precision heading information for mobile devices and handheld navigation tools using 20-bit resolution.
Drones and Robotics
Utilizes the 1kHz bandwidth for real-time orientation and stabilization in fast-moving unmanned systems.
Magnetometry
Measures precise magnetic field changes in industrial environments with temperature-compensated accuracy.
