2-Axis Magnetic Sensor Circuit
HMC6042
The Honeywell HMC6042 is a surface mount multi-chip module designed
for low field magnetic sensing such as low cost compassing and
magnetometry. The HMC6042 includes our state of the art 1042 series
magneto-resistive sensors plus a precision mixed signal ASIC containing
three sensor amplifiers and a compatible set/reset strap driver circuit for 2.4
to 3.6 volt operation. The ASIC plus sensors are surface mount packaged in
a 3.6 by 5.0 by 1.0mm LCC that can be used stand alone for very low cost
2-axis compasses, or with the HMC1041Z to complete the magnetic sensor
portion of a 3-axis, tilt compensated compass. Applications for the
HMC6042 include Consumer Electronic Compassing and Magnetometry.
Advanced Information
The HMC6042 utilizes Honeywell’s Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology that provides advantages over other
magnetic sensor technologies. The sensors feature precision in-axis sensitivity and linearity, solid-state construction with
very low cross-axis sensitivity designed to measure both direction and magnitude of Earth’s magnetic fields, from tens of
micro-gauss to 6 gauss. Honeywell’s Magnetic Sensors are among the most sensitive and reliable low-field sensors in the
industry.
Honeywell continues to maintain product excellence and performance by introducing innovative solid-state magnetic
sensor solutions. These are highly reliable, top performance products that are delivered when promised. Honeywell’s
magnetic sensor solutions provide real solutions you can count on.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The following is the recommend printed circuit board (PCB) footprint for the HMC6042.
PCB Pad Definition
The HMC6042 is a fine pitch LCC package with a 0.50mm pin pitch (spacing), with the pin pads defined as 0.50mm by
0.20mm in size. PCB pads are recommended to be oversized by 0.025mm from each pad for a short dimension oversize
of 0.05mm. The interior PCB pad is recommended to be 0.05mm oversized per pin with an exterior oversize of 0.20mm
for proper package centering and to permit test probing. Lead finish is SnAgCu.
Stencil Design and Solder Paste
A 4 mil stencil and 100% paste coverage is recommended for the electrical contact pads. The HMC6042 has been tested
successfully with no-clean solder paste.
Pick and Place
Placement is machine dependant and no restrictions are recommended, and have been tested with mechanical centering.
Placement force should be equivalent 1206 SMT resistors and enough force should be used to squeeze the paste out
from the package/contact pad overlap and to keep the package pin contacts vertical.
Reflow and Rework
No special profile is required for the HMC6042 and compatible with lead eutectic and lead-free solder paste reflow
profiles. Honeywell recommends the adherence to solder paste manufacturer’s guidelines. The HMC6042 may be
reworked with soldering irons, but extreme care must be taken not to overheat the copper pads from the part’s fiberglass

substrate. Irons with a tip temperature no greater than 315°C should be used. Excessive rework risks the copper pads
pulling away into the molten solder.

BASIC DEVICE OPERATION
The Honeywell HMC6042 magnetoresistive sensor circuit is a pair of sensor and analog support circuits to measure
magnetic fields. With power supply applied, the sensor converts any incident magnetic field in the sensitive axis direction
to a differential voltage output. In addition to the bridge circuit, the sensors have two on-chip magnetically coupled straps;
the offset strap and the set/reset strap. These straps are Honeywell patented features for incident field adjustment and
magnetic domain alignment; and eliminate the need for external coils positioned around the sensors.
The magnetoresistive sensors are made of a nickel-iron (Permalloy) thin-film deposited on a silicon wafer and patterned
as a resistive strip element. In the presence of a magnetic field, a change in the bridge resistive elements causes a
corresponding change in voltage across the bridge outputs.
