FAQs

What is AK8963C?

The AK8963C is a 3-axis electronic compass IC (integrated circuit) designed by Asahi Kasei Microdevices. It is used for measuring the terrestrial magnetism in three dimensions, making it suitable for applications such as electronic compasses, map rotation, and navigation systems.

How Does AK8963C Work?

The AK8963C works by sensing the ambient magnetic field in the X, Y, and Z axes using Hall effect sensors. It then processes the magnetic field data to calculate the device's orientation with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. The IC provides digital output corresponding to the detected magnetic field, enabling accurate heading determination.

How Many Pins does AK8963C have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?

The AK8963C is housed in a small, surface-mount package with a pinout configuration that includes:

  • VDD: Power supply pin.
  • GND: Ground pin.
  • SDA: Serial data line for I2C communication.
  • SCL: Serial clock line for I2C communication.
  • DRDY: Data ready pin for indicating new measurement data.
  • ST2: Self-test pin for device diagnostics.

What are the Pros and Cons of AK8963C?

Pros:

  • High Accuracy: Provides accurate terrestrial magnetism measurement for precise orientation sensing.
  • Compact Size: Small form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained applications.
  • Low Power Consumption: Operates with low power, ideal for battery-powered devices.
  • Easy Integration: Supports I2C interface for seamless integration into digital systems.

Cons:

  • Environmental Sensitivity: May be affected by nearby ferrous materials and electromagnetic interference.
  • Calibration: Requires calibration for accurate heading determination in specific applications.

Are There Any Equivalents/Alternatives to AK8963C for Recommendation?

  • The HMC5883L from Honeywell is a similar 3-axis magnetometer IC with digital output.
  • Alternatives to the AK8963C include the MMC5983MA from Memsic and the QMC5883L from QST Corporation.
