MLX90397 3D Magnetometer

Melexis’ magnetometer with Triaxis® 3D Hall effect technology is ideally suited for cost-effective battery-powered applications

Image of Melexis' MLX90397 3D MagnetometerMelexis’ MLX90397 16-bit three-axis sensor device has a magnetic field range reaching 50 mT with an adaptive range on the z-axis of up to 200 mT. The user can choose the fields to measure among BX, BY, BZ, temperature, or a combination. The sensing element relies on the proven Triaxis 3D Hall effect technology. Captured data are converted into a digital form and then transferred over an I²C interface.

The MLX90397 is designed to address 1.8 V/2.2 V/3.3 V applications. With outstanding SNR performances, the MLX90397 facilitates the designer’s need to compromise between noise characteristics and power consumption.
