Hello, We have built a product and we are using the BMM150. For function purposes we added a magnet to our product . We observe that 50% of our BBM150 are failing and we are trying to figure out where it comes from. Initially, the product with the magnet shows a saturated X-Axis, could this in the long run lead to an overall failure of the BMM150? Or do you have an Idea of where the failure might occur from ? On the strong side of the magnet we are measuring 190.2 mT. The magnets weak side is facing the BMM150. Thank you for your help !

Hello LouisaAisight,
The external magnetic field will interfere with the bmm150. If you really need a magnet for your product, you can choose a magnet with weaker magnetism and keep the layout away from the bmm150 as far as possible.
