HMC1051 / HMC1052 SENSOR PRODUCTS are two high-performance magnetoresistive sensors produced by Honeywell. The two sensors have small size, low power consumption, high accuracy and other features, and can be used for direction perception, navigation systems, attitude reference, traffic detection, medical devices, position sensing and other applications.
This document provides technical specifications and application notes for the Honeywell HMC1051 (single-axis) and HMC1052 (two-axis) magnetoresistive sensors. These devices are designed as Wheatstone bridges to convert magnetic fields into differential output voltages, suitable for compassing, navigation, and traffic detection systems.
