HMC5883L description

It’s used for low-field magnetic sensing with a digital interface for applications, it uses Anisotropic Magneto resistive (AMR) technology, These anisotropic, directional sensors feature precision in-axis sensitivity and linearity, These sensors solid-state construction with very low cross-axis sensitivity is designed to measure both the direction and the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic fields, from milli-gauss to 8 gauss.

Applications for the HMC5883L
Mobile Phones, Net books, Consumer Electronics, Auto Navigation Systems and Personal Navigation Devices.
