Tessenderlo, Belgium, 6 May 2021 – Melexis, a global microelectronics engineering company, is targeting white goods, consumer electronics, and smart-metering applications with the MLX90392 three-axis magnetic field sensor, which can operate from a 1.8 V power rail shared with other components such as logic devices.
Requiring no dedicated LDO or regulator, the competitively priced MLX90392 simplifies design, trims bill-of-materials costs and saves PCB space. Measuring just 2 mm x 2.5 mm x 0.4 mm, the sensor features a UTDFN-8 ultra-thin no-lead 8-pin package to help designers tackle space-constrained applications. In addition, a 1.5 µA power-down mode helps save energy and thus maximize runtime in battery-powered … Read More → "Melexis reveals compact, low-voltage 3D magnetometer for consumer applications"
