Tiny eCompass with soft gyro features for smart devices
With the MiraMEMS Xmotion™ software enabled, the da213/da312 eCompass products provide 9 DoF (Degree of Freedom) with soft gyroscope for smartphones and wearable devices under a limited cost budget.
The dc213 comes in the 2- x 1- x 1.1-mm LGA package, and the dc312 measures 3- x 3- x 1.0-mm. Both of them are pin to pin compatible with the g-sensor family, providing an easy upgrade path.
MiraMEMS’ 6 axis eCompass combo sensor provides the same performance as discrete sensors but in a limited space, which can significantly reduce customer’s cost and PCB area. Incorporated with the Xmotion™ software solution, middle to low-end smartphones can also run sophisticated 9 DoF motion games, without suffering the high cost and power consumption of gyro hardware.
Key features include a standard I2C interface and dedicated programmable interrupt. The accelerometer offers a ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g scalable range, with 14 bits high resolution.
The magnetometer boasts a ±48 Gauss wide range with16 bits high resolution.
