Mag566 Three-Axis Low Power Magnetometer
This miniature magnetometer comprises a single board assembly with fluxgate sensors and electronic circuitry. The unit is optimised for low power operation whilst providing low noise and superior temperature stability. The unpackaged design is suitable for incorporation into vehicle and industrial plant movement monitoring instruments. The low drift characteristics also allow the magnetometer to be used as a terrestrial field monitor or as an orientation sensor.
The Mag566 magnetometer has a full-scale range of ±100µT. It operates from a ±5V supply and provides three analog outputs of 0 to ±4.5V with a bandwidth of 0 to 35Hz. The 20mW power consumption and low self-noise make this magnetometer an excellent choice for battery powered applications. A digital input can be activated to apply a known magnetic field to each axis to test for correct functioning. No latch-up or phase reversal occurs outside the normal range.
A current boost circuit ensures rapid settling of the sensor outputs when power is applied. The electronics is encapsulated in polyurethane to provide a high level of environmental protection.The lightweight construction allows the magnetometer to be used in applications where it may be subjected to high levels of shock and vibration.
