Inertial offers sensor pin out and demo boards

An Inertial Aerosystems product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 20, 2008

Inertial Aerosystems has introduced a new range of low-cost pin out and demo boards for its small magnetic sensors

Manufactured by US-based Honeywell Aerospace, these products are designed to facilitate easy evaluation or prototyping at the design stage.

The five primary models/kits of demo/evaluation in this large range include the HMC1041Z-eval, which has the one axis sensor placed on a compact circuit board and pinned to a narrow eight-pin DIP pattern.

It removes the effort of hot air reflowing this LCC component to a prototype circuit board and brings out the interface pins for usage.

The HMC1042L - HMC1041Z demo creates a three-axis magnetic sensing prototype with support analogue circuitry.

Board includes HMC1041Z and HMC1042L, three amplifier circuits, set/reset strap driver circuit.

Included are five HMC1041Z and 5 HMC1042L samples.

The HMC6042 - HMC1041Z demo for the two-axis plus ASIC HMC6042 and the one-axis HMC1041Z provides the sensors and supporting circuitry for three-axis magnetic sensing prototypes.

Included are five HMC6042 and five HMC1041Z samples.

The HMC1043 demo creates a three-axis magnetic sensing prototype with support analogue circuitry.

The board includes, HMC1043, three amplifier circuits, set/reset strap driver circuit.

Included are five HMC1043 samples.

The HMC5843 Demo and 5843-eval demonstration board for the three-axis compass provides the HMC5843, plus serial bus conversation circuits to convert the 12C data to USB interfacing for personal computers.

It includes a 6ft USB cable, software, user manual and five samples of the HMC5843.

The 5843 - eval is the same part on a pinout board for ease of prototyping HMC6343-Demo for the three-axis compass provides the same facilities as the HMC5843-Demo but with the addition of Windows software HMC6352-demo and HMC6353-eval.

The demonstration board for the two-axis compass includes a D9 male serial port for RS232 interfacing together with an I2C to RS232 converter, software and 6ft RS232 cable and power supply.

The HMC6352-eval is mounted on a wide 24-pin format (EEPROM) for ease of prototyping on solderless breadboards.

Only four pins are used for power and I2C transfer.

All the magnetic sensors use the established Anisotropic Magnetorestive (AWR) technology has the advantage of being sensitive to low fields and having low hysteresis.
