MC6450 6-Axis eCompass
Preliminary Datasheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MC6450 is a 6-axis electronic compass
that consists of a 3-axis linear accelerometer
and a 3-axis magnetic field sensor, both with an
I2C digital interface, in a single package.
By combining a high precision magnetic sensor
with a low noise single-chip MEMS
accelerometer, the MC6450 enables industry-
leading tilt-compensated compass directional
accuracy.
The MC6450 feature set is optimized for cell
phones, portable navigation devices and fitness
products. Applications taking advantage of high
precision directional pointing include map
orientation, virtual reality data overlay,
enhanced navigation with dead reckoning
assistance and gyroscope replacement.
Additionally, the MC6450 maintains standard
accelerometer features such as motion enabled
user interface, gesture recognition and gaming
control.
The MC6450 supplied with mCube eMotion™
software eases integration of compass
functionality into the end product. eMotion
software features includes tilt-compensated
heading calculation, hard- and soft-iron
calibration and World Magnetic Model (WMM)
compensation.
The MC6450 has a linear acceleration full-scale
range of ±8g and low noise magnetic sensors
with up to 0.15µT magnetic field resolution. A
single I2C interface is available to separately
control magnetometer and accelerometer
functions, enabling independent operation of
functions for applications flexibility.
