➀ Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) has launched the HQ0A11 InAs Hall element, which is its smallest and thinnest package yet at 0.8 x 0.4 x 0.23 mm. It is 85% smaller than the previous model, HQ0811, and offers a 16% better S/N ratio. This advancement is expected to improve performance in smartphone camera modules and small robots. ➁ The HQ0A11 features a GaAs Hall element with over 3.5 times higher position detection accuracy than its predecessor, the HG0C11. ➂ The element's compact size and high sensitivity make it suitable for applications requiring precise position detection, such as camera lens control.
