Product Description
 

Configured as a 4-element Wheatstone bridge, these magneto resistive sensors convert magnetic fields to a differential output voltage, capable of sensing magnetic fields as low as 30 μgauss. These MRs offer a small, low cost, high sensitivity and high reliability solution for low field magnetic sensing.

 

Features
 

l  Field range up to 6 gauss, (earth’s field = 0.5 gauss)
 

l  Small Package

? Designed for 1- and 2-axis to work together to provide 3-axis (x, y, z) sensing

? 1-axis part in an 8-pin SIP or an 8-pin SOIC or a ceramic 8-pin DIP package

? 2-axis part in a 16-pin or 20-pin SOIC package
 

l  These small devices reduce board assembly costs; improve reliability and ruggedness compared to mechanical fluxgates.
 

l  On-Chip Coils, Patented on-chip set/reset straps to reduce effects of temperature drift, non-linearity errors and loss of signal output due to the presence of high magnetic fields patented on-chip offset straps for elimination of the effects of hard iron distortion.
 

l  Low Cost, The sensors were specifically designed to be affordable for high volume OEM applications.
