Erm.. I contacted Digikey and it seems they ran out of these.. I wouldn't bet my hopes too high if I were you.
Inform us if you manage to buy it. You'd be doin' me a favor for that, man.
 
Mouser has them 771-KMZ51-T/R a bit less then digikey.

Has anyone found a schematic on using these with a PIC or other uC ?

I contacted NXP (the company producing KMZ51/52) about the product and they replied:

Electronic Compass OSD

Hi,

I am working on lightning research using a low light camera. We have a GPS that calculates UTC timing and embeds the timing on the video (OSD). In addition, I would like to add an electronic compass that I can add to the video using OSD to know the direction the camera is pointing.

Any recommendations?

Thank you,

Guillermo
 
Hi, welcome here.

Dinsmore makes 'em as well, since the KMZ51/52 is discontinued from production. Otherwise, Farnell/Digikey offers better ones at much higher prices. Anyway, start a new thread for your question next time...
