2 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing PNI Sensor Corporation’s RM3000 Evaluation Board (pn 13038).
The RM3000 Evaluation Board is a plug-and-play version of PNI’s RM3000 Reference
Magnetic Sensor Suite, principally intended for quickly evaluating and prototyping PNI’s
Reference Magnetic Sensor technology. The primary components of the RM3000 Evaluation
Board are two Sen-XY Reference Magnetic Sensors, one Sen-Z Reference Magnetic Sensor, and
PNI’s 3D MagIC ASIC controller. It also incorporates resistors, capacitors, and connectors, all
mounted on a PCB, to provide a complete magnetic field sensing module. And the SPI interface
allows easy access to the module’s measurement parameters and resulting field measurement
data.
PNI’s Reference Magnetic Sensor technology provides high resolution, low power consumption,
large signal noise immunity, a large dynamic range, and high sampling rates. Measurements are
stable over temperature and inherently free from offset drift. The RM3000 Evaluation Board
features software-configurable resolution, sample rate and field measurement range, including
the ability to operate one, two, or all three PNI sensors. These advantages make PNI’s RM3000
Evaluation Board not only the choice for prototyping high volume solutions, but also for lower
volume applications that require a complete solution.
