| The V2Xe is an integrated 2-axis compass and magnetic field sensing module featuring an on-board microprocessor for control and interfacing. The V2Xe combines PNI Corporation's patented Magneto-Inductive (MI) sensors and measurement circuit technology for unparalleled cost effectiveness and performance. The MI sensor changes inductance by 100% over its field measurement range. This variable inductance property is used in a cost and space efficient ASIC (PNI 11096) which incorporates a temperature and noise stabilized oscillator/counter circuit. The microprocessor controls the ASIC and provides easy access to the V2Xe’s heading information as well as magnetic field measurement data via a Motorola compatible SPI interface. Advantages include 3V operation for compatibility with new systems, low power consumption, a small footprint, large signal noise immunity under all conditions, and a large magnetic field dynamic range. Resolution and field measurement range are software configurable for a variety of applications. The measurement is very stable over temperature and inherently free from offset drift. These advantages make PNI Corporation's V2Xe the choice for applications that require a solution that has a high degree of azimuth accuracy, requires little power, and has a small package size.
