Application Applicationto toelectronic electroniccompass compasscorrection correction •
Introduction of a mobile phone with GPS and electronic compass in 2002
The mobile phone had to remain at an even level with the ground * Tri-axis accelerometer (tilt sensor) clears this problem Electronic ElectronicCompass Compass OKI

Calibration
No internal EEPROM for calibration data
Calibration data is stored on internal EEPROM (factory stored)
SPI and I2C
SPI
3-wire serial I/F (SIOCLK, SIODT, SIOST)
4-wire serial I/F (SIOCLK, SIDT, SODT, SIOST)
CLK Frequency
CLK Frequency
~ 1.53 MHz (SPI), ~ 400KHz (I2C)
~12MHz (EEPROM: ~ 1MHz)
No automatic temperature compensation
Automatic temperature compensation for its sensitivity and offset value using a built-in temperature sensor and the calibration data.
CPU Interface
Only measurement controlled by external MPU
Logic Control Circuit
Including automatic measurement mode, controlled by an internal CLK. When a G variation is detected, a interrupt signal is triggered to host CPU.
No interrupt function
Including a programmable level-interrupt that can be triggered by freefall detection (0G), shock detection (G over threshold setting) or by sensing motion depending on the G variation.
