DUAL MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR
ZMX40M
DESCRIPTION
This device is a special tangential field difference sensor with two AMR (Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive) bridges for field movement measurements or field comparative measurements.
The ZMX40M contains two extremely sensitive magnetic sensor chips, mounted parallel to each other in an SM8 package, employing the magneto-resistive effect of thin film permalloy. It allows the measurement of magnetic fields or the detection of magnetic parts. The sensors each consist of a chip covered with thin film permalloy stripes which form a Wheatstone bridge, whose output voltage is proportional to the magnetic field component Hy. A field Hx, which is perpendicular to Hy, is necessary to suppress the hysteresis and to bias the sensors into the linear region.
