TDK offers a wide variety of Mn-Zn ferrite materials optimized for their application purposes, and include materials with high magnetic flux, low losses, and for broad temperature ranges. The products are also available in various profiles, including materials with standard core shapes that are compliant with international standards or low-profile materials for planar transformers. In addition, the portfolio features Ni-Zn ferrite materials that are optimized for use in inductors, EMC products, antennas, and various other products. These high-frequency materials offer high magnetic flux, high stress-resistance, and low temperature coefficients. TDK excels in the high-precision manufacturing of advanced core geometries, including small and low-profile shapes with a height of 0.6 mm or lower, and offers a comprehensive program of matching accessories.

Press Releases: Magnetic sensors: Joint development of high accuracy TMR 3-axis magnetometer with Asahi Kasei Microdevices
 
TDK Corporation and Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) have jointly developed a highly accurate 3-axis magnetometer that combines an extremely sensitive tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) element developed by TDK and an advanced electronic compass ASIC designed by AKM in a very small package. The new TMR magnetometer on a chip, which has miniature dimensions of just 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm x 0.6 mm, features the industry’s lowest RMS noise of just 40 nT-rms and a very low current consumption of only 40 µA at an output data rate of 100 Hz.

Thanks to its high sensitivity of 10 nT/LSB*, the magnetic sensor can detect minute changes in magnetic fields very precisely, enabling the highly accurate detection of both position and orientation with the help of the Earth’s magnetic field or a magnetic field generator. These unique characteristics make the TMR magnetometer ideal for compact electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, game console controllers and all kinds of wearable devices, as well as other applications that demand high position and orientation precision such as virtual, augmented or mixed reality (VR, AR, and MR) or indoor navigation. The new 3-axis magnetic sensor is also suitable for integration into IoT devices, for which strong market growth is expected.
