SmartSens MICROMAGIC

The MicroMagIC is an integrated 3-axis high-data-rate magnetic sensor module combining PNI's patented SmartSens magneto-inductive (MI) sensors with PNI's MagIC high-data-rate driver ASIC. The MicroMagIC provides a resolution of 0.015 µT at speeds >100 Hz. This makes it the ideal choice for applications such as gesture-based human-interface devices that can take advantage of this performance.

Designed primarily to aid in the evaluation and prototyping of PNI's SmartSens technology, the MicroMagIC board contains connectors, test points, option solder jumpers and extra support circuits to expedite evaluation. The microprocessor-compatible SPI interface allows easy access to the MicroMagIC's measurement parameters and resulting magnetometer data.

PNI's MicroMagIC benefits include low power consumption, large signal noise immunity under all conditions, a large dynamic range, and high sampling rates. Measurements are very stable over temperature and inherently free from offset drift. Also, the MicroMagIC features software-configurable resolution, sample rate and field measurement range. These advantages make PNI's MicroMagIC not only the choice for prototyping high volume SmartSens solutions, but also for lower volume applications that require a complete orientation sensor solution.
