memsicMEMSIC is a U.S. based company that manufactures CMOS Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) IC products. Their latest is called MMC212xM which is a Dual-axis Magnetic Sensor. Such chips are used for applications that involve any kind of electronic compass, GPS navigation, position sensing, etc…

MMC212xM promises to enhance digital compass functionality that will enable a host of new location-based services (LBS) in GPS enabled mobile phones and personal navigation devices.

This new family of magnetic sensors from MEMSIC comes with Intelligent Heading Correction (IHC) algorithms, which automatically calibrates the device, compensates for the extraneous magnetic interference, and therefore provides higher accuracy.
