ZMY20
MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The ZMY20 is an extremely sensitive magnetic sensor employing the
magneto-resistive effect of thin film permalloy. It allows the measurement of
magnetic fields or the detection of magnetic parts. The highly sensitive and
small size magnetoresistive sensors consist of a chip covered with thin film
permalloy stripes. These stripes form a Wheatstone bridge, whose output
voltage is proportional to the magnetic field component Hy. A perpendicular
field Hx is necessary to stabilize sensor operation. This can be done by using a
small permanent magnet.

FEATURES
•
Output voltage proportional to magnetic field Hy
•
Adjustment of sensitivity and suppression of
hysteresis by the auxiliary magnetic field Hx
•
Magnetic fields vertical to the chip level are not
effective
