Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3197 3D HALL 5 Click Board, IIS2MDCTR Magnetic Sensor, I2C/SPI

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3197):

The 3D HALL 5 click is a very accurate, magnetic field sensing Click board, used to measure the intensity of the magnetic field across three perpendicular axes. It is equipped with the IIS2MDCTR, a low power 3D magnetic sensor IC, from STMicroelectronics. This IC has a separate Hall sensing element on each axis, which allows a very accurate and reliable measurement of the magnetic field intensity in a 3D space, offering a basis for accurate positional calculations. The IIS2MDCTR magnetic sensor IC offers two industry-standard interfaces: both I2C and SPI communication protocols are supported. This sensor IC also features a powerful programmable interrupt engine with configurable polarity, type, source, and more. Well-suited for development of various position sensing applications, contactless knobs, encoders, switches and potentiometers, or other types of magnetic field measuring applications, based on accurate spatial sensing. The three independent Hall sensor channels allow high accuracy, an additional thermal sensor for compensation, and a compact design.
