Mounting Considerations
The following is the recommend printed circuit board (PCB) footprint for the HMC1043.
Each of the sixteen pads on the HMC1043 is spaced on 0.5mm centers with 4 pads per side. Each pad is nominally
0.23mm by 0.40mm with a tin over copper finish. Recommended PCB lands for the HMC1043 are outsized to 0.28mm by
0.65mm for 0.025mm sides plus 0.05mm inside and 0.20mm outside areas. The extra area is for good reflow attachment
and enough pad contact exposure for test probing if necessary.

HMC1043
Stencil Design and Solder Paste
A 4 mil stencil and 100% paste coverage is recommended for the eight electrical contact pads. Do not apply paste on the
leveling pads. The HMC1053L has been tested successfully with no-clean solder paste.
Pick and Place
Placement is machine dependant and no restrictions are recommended.
Reflow and Rework
No special profile is required for the HMC1043. The product is compatible with lead eutectic and lead-free solder paste
reflow profiles. Honeywell recommends the adherence to solder paste manufacturer’s guidelines. The HMC1043 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 HMC1043 magnetoresistive sensors are Wheatstone bridges to measure magnetic fields. With power
supply applied to the bridges, the sensors convert any incident magnetic field in the sensitive axis directions to a
differential voltage outputs. In addition to the bridge circuits, each sensor has 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.
These resistive elements are aligned together to have a common sensitive axis (indicated by arrows on the pinouts) that
will provide positive voltage change with magnetic fields increasing in the sensitive direction. Because the output only is in
proportion to the one-dimensional axis (the principle of anisotropy) and its magnitude, additional sensor bridges placed at
orthogonal directions permit accurate measurement of arbitrary field direction. The combination of sensor bridges in two
and three orthogonal axis permit applications such as compassing and magnetometry.
The offset strap allows for several modes of operation when a direct current is driven through it. These modes are: 1)
Subtraction (bucking) of an unwanted external magnetic field, 2) null-ing of the bridge offset voltage, 3) Closed loop field
cancellation, and 4) Auto-calibration of bridge gain.
The set/reset strap can be pulsed with high currents for the following benefits: 1) Enable the sensor to perform high
sensitivity measurements, 2) Flip the polarity of the bridge output voltage, and 3) Periodically used to improve linearity,
lower cross-axis effects, and temperature effects.
Offset Straps
The offset strap is a spiral of metallization that couples in the sensor element’s sensitive axis. The offset strap measures
nominally 8 ohms, and requires 10mA for each gauss of induced field. The straps will easily handle currents to buck or
boost fields through the ±6 gauss linear measurement range, but designers should note the extreme thermal heating on
the die when doing so.
With most applications, the offset strap is not utilized and can be ignored. Designers can leave one or both strap
connections (Off- and Off+) open circuited, or ground one connection node. Do not tie both strap connections together to
avoid shorted turn magnetic circuits.
Set/Reset Straps
The set/reset strap is another spiral of metallization that couples to the sensor elements easy axis (perpendicular to the
sensitive axis on the sensor die. Each set/reset strap has a nominal resistance of 5 ohms with a nominal required peak
current of 500mA for reset or set pulses. With rare exception, the set/reset strap must be used to periodically condition the
magnetic domains of the magneto-resistive elements for best and reliable performance.
