Kit Overview

The LFSTBEB3110LFSTBEB3110 is an evaluation board for the Freescale MAG3110FCMAG3110FC 3-axis high performance, high functionality magnetometer. The RD4247MAG3110RD4247MAG3110 kit includes a daughter board containing the MAG3110FCMAG3110FC and MMA8451QMMA8451Q to allow for system calibration and compensation for demonstrating ecompass capability. For customers already familiar with the Sensor Toolbox Platform, the LFSTBEB3110 is designed to work with the LFSTBUSBLFSTBUSB for communication to a PC. For customers that desire the complete system, the development kit RD4247MAG3110 comes with both the LFSTBEB3110 and the LFSTBUSB boards together.

The MAG3110MAG3110 3-axis magnetometer is the latest addition to Freescale's extensive family of accelerometers, pressure and touch sensors.Freescale’s MAG3110 measures the magnetic field in all three axes with ranges up to 1000 uT, at data rates up to 80 Hz, with resolution down to 0.1 uT and with noise as low as 0.05 uT.

The combination of the magnetometer with the accelerometer provides a full tiltcompensated electronic compass capability. With a GPS-enabled device,direction-dependent location-based services can be achieved.The MAG3110MAG3110 is ideally suited for smartphones, tablets and any portable devices requiring an electronic compass capability.
