The Honeywell HMC1051Z and HMC1052 are high
performance magnetoresistive sensor designs on a
single chip. The advantages of these patented chips
include perfectly orthogonal two-axis sensing
(HMC1052), ultra small size and low power capability in
miniature surface mount packages.
SENSOR PRODUCTS
Each of the magnetoresistive sensors are configured
as a 4-element wheatstone bridge to convert magnetic
fields to differential output voltages. Capable of sensing
fields below 0.1 milligauss, these sensors offer a
compact, low cost, high sensitivity and highly reliable
solution for low field magnetic sensing.

Basic Device Operation
The HMC1051 and HMC1052 are single-axis and two-axis linear magnetic sensors designed as a Wheatstone
bridges formed by a magnetoresistive metal film. With the power supply applied to the bridge, the sensors converts
any incident magnetic field in the sensitive direction to a balanced voltage output. The magnetoresistive sensors are
made of a nickel-iron (Permalloy) thin-film deposited on a silicon wafer in pattern of resistive strips. In the presence of
a magnetic field, a change in the bridge resistive elements causes a corresponding change in voltage across the
bridge outputs.
In addition to the bridge circuits, the sensors each have two on-chip magnetically coupled straps; the Offset Strap and
the Set/Reset Strap. The patented straps eliminate the need for external coils surrounding the bridge elements. The
offset strap (available on bare die only) allows for several modes of operation when a direct current is driven through
it. These modes are: 1) Subtraction of an unwanted magnetic field, 2) Zero-ing of the bridge offset voltage, 3) Closed
loop field cancellation, and 4) Auto-calibration of bridge gain. The set/reset strap can be pulsed with high currents for
the following benefits: 1) Enable the sensor to perform high sensitivity measurements, 2) Flip the polarity of the bridge
output voltage, and 3) Periodically used to improve linearity, lower cross-axis effects, and temperature effects.
Application Notes
Low Cost 2-Axis Compass
Very high precision measurements can be made using the HMC1051 and HMC1052 sensors when interfaced with
low noise amplifiers and 12 to 16-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters. For lower resolution (1°) or low cost compass
applications, 8 or 10-bit A/D converters may be used with general purpose operational amplifiers. Figure 1 shows a
typical 2-axis compassing application using readily available off-the-shelf components.
The basic principle of two-axis compassing is to orient the sensor bridge element horizontal to the ground
(perpendicular to the gravitational field) and to measure the X and Y analog voltages. With the amplified sensor bridge
voltages near-simultaneously converted (measured) to their digital equivalents, the arc-tangent Y/X can be computed
to derive the heading information. See the application notes on compassing at Honeywell Magnetic Sensors website
(www.magneticsensors.com) for basic principles and detailed application information.

Set/Reset Circuit Notes
The set/reset circuit using the IRF7507 dual complementary MOSFETs is shown in Figure 2 with more detail in its Hbridge driven configuration. This configuration is used primarily in battery operated applications were the 0.5 ampere
nominal set/reset pulsed currents are best obtained under low voltage conditions. For operation at normal 3.3 or 5
volt logic levels, a single complementary MOSFET pair can be used in a single ended circuit shown in Figure 3.
Other complementary MOSFET pairs can be used with the caution that the chosen devices should have less than
0.5 ohms ON resistance and be able to handle the needed supply voltages and set/reset currents. Note that even a
1Hz rate of set/reset function draws an average current of less than 2 microamperes.

Magnetic Field Detection
For simple magnetic field sensing applications such Magnetic Anomaly Detectors (MADs) and Magnetometers, a
similar circuit to the compass application can be implemented. In the example circuit in Figure 4, a HMC1051Z
sensor bridge is used with a low voltage capable dual op-amp to detect sufficient intensity of a magnetic field. Uses
of the circuit include ferrous object detection such as vehicle detection, a “sniffer” for moderate currents in nearby
conductors, and magnetic proximity switching. By using two circuits with a HMC1052, a more omni-directional
sensing pattern can implemented. There is nothing special in choosing the resistors for the differential op-amp gain
stages other than having like values (e.g. the two 5kW and the 500kW resistors) matched at 1% tolerance or better to
reject common-mode interference signals (EMI, RFI). The ratio of the 500kW/5kW resistors sets the stage gain and
can be optimized for a specific purpose. The choice of the 5kW value sets impedance loading seen by the sensor
bridge network and should be about 4 kilo-ohms or higher for best voltage transfer or matching.

Alternating or Direct Current Sensing
The HMC1051 and HMC1052 sensors can be utilized in a novel way for moderate to high current sensing
applications using a nearby external conductor providing the sensed magnetic field to the bridge. Figure 5 shows a
HMC1051Z used as a current sensor with thermistor element performing a temperature compensation function for
greater accuracy over a wide range of operational temps. Selection of the temperature compensation (tempco)
resistors used depends on the thermistor chosen and is dependant on the thermistor’s %/°C shift of resistance. For
best op-amp compatibility, the thermistor resistance should be above about 1000 ohms. The use of a 9-volt alkaline
battery supply permits fairly common operational amplifiers such as the 4558 types to be used. Note that the circuit
must be calibrated based on the final displacement of the sensed conductor to the measuring bridge. Typically, an
optimally oriented measurement conductor can be placed about one centimeter away from the bridge and have
reasonable capability of measuring from tens of milliamperes to beyond 20 amperes of alternating or direct currents.
See application note AN-209 for the basic principles of current sensing using AMR bridges.

Three Axis Compassing with Tilt Compensation
For full three-axis compassing, the circuit depicted in Figure 6 shows both a HMC1051Z and a HMC1052 used for
sensing the magnetic field in three axes. A two-axis accelerometer is also shown to provide pitch and roll (tilt)
sensing to correct the three-axis data into to the corrected two-axis heading. The accelerometer can be substituted
with a fluidic 2-axis tilt sensor if desired. For lower voltage operation with Lithium battery supplies (2.5 to 3.6Vdc), the
Set/Reset circuit should be upgraded from a single IRF7507 to the dual IRF7507 implementation to permit a
minimum 1.0 ampere pulse (0.5 ampere per set/reset strap resistance) to both the HMC1052 and HMC1051 sensors.

Duty Cycling for Lower Energy Consumption
For battery powered and other applications needing limited energy consumption, the sensor bridge and support
electronics can be switched “off” between magnetic field measurements. The HMC1051Z and HMC1052 are very low
capacitance (Bandwidth > 5MHz) sensor bridges and can stabilize typically before the support electronics can. Also
minimizing the quantity of set/reset pulses will save energy too. Figure 7 shows a simple supply switching circuit that
can be microprocessor controlled to duty cycle (toggle) the electronics in moderate current (<25mA) applications.
