The most accurate Low-SWaP magnetic sensor on the planet.

RM3100 Magnetic Sensor

Incredible resolution with low power, low mass, small size and large dynamic range.

Z

Impeccable signal to noise, no drift, and precise magnetic field measurements make integration of the RM3100 sensor simple and ideal for underwater, air, satellite, and spacecraft application.

Z

Getting accurate navigation and position data depends on having accurate magnetic field measurement to begin with. Unlike traditional Hall-effect sensors, the RM3100 magneto-inductive sensor has over 23 times better resolution and 33 times less noise resulting in far more precise data outputs.

Z

Stable and reliable over time and temperature and extremely radiation tolerant.

Z

I2C and SPI interfaces.

Z

Proven in real world across a wide range of applications requiring a Low-SWap heading sensor.
