Description
AD-Series GMR Switches are the industry standard for
sensitivity and precision.
GMR Switches integrate GMR sensor elements with digital
signal processing electronics. These sensors are more precise
than other magnetic sensors, and magnetic field operate
points are stable over voltage and temperature extremes.
AD-Series models available in a wide variety of magnetic
operate points and output configurations. Versions are
available with short-circuit protection circuitry and with
integrated voltage regulators.

ON / OFF Behavior
AD-Series sensor outputs turn ON when the field exceeds the magnetic operate point, and OFF when the field drops below the
operate point minus the release differential.
External Pull-Up Resistors
Outputs are open collector, with PNP output transistors for sourcing versions and NPN transistors for sinking versions. Outputs
should have external pull-up or pull-down resistors. For microcontroller interfaces, the microcontroller’s input pull-up resistors can
be activated.
Omnipolar
GMR Switches are “omnipolar,” which means the outputs turn ON when a magnetic field of either magnetic polarity is applied.

AD-Series GMR Switches
In-Plane Magnetic Sensitivity
As the field varies in intensity, the digital output will turn on and off. Unlike Hall-effect or other sensors, the direction of
sensitivity is in the plane of the package. The diagrams below show two permanent magnet orientations that will activate the
sensor in the direction of sensitivity:
Figure 3. Planar magnetic sensitivity.
Standard and Cross-Axis Sensitivity
Standard AD-Series sensors are sensitive along the part axis as shown in Figure 4b, but a number of versions are available with
cross-axis sensitivity (see Figure 4a).
Figure 4a.
Cross-axis sensitivity.
Figure 4b.
Standard sensitivity.
Typical Operation
A typical proximity sensor using an AD022 cross-axis sensor and magnet is shown in the figures below. This sensor has a 40 Oe
typical operate point, and actuates with the magnet approximately 0.375 inches (9 mm) from the center of the sensor. Because the
sensor is omnipolar, it will operate with either a north or south magnet face.
Figure 5. An AD022 sensor (pin 1 is upper left; the sensor has cross-axis sensitivity),
on an AG015 circuit board with a 12031 8 mm dia. x 3 mm thick ferrite magnet.
Sensor activates at approx. 9 mm distance.
Red wire = V
CC
; Blk = GND; Blue = OUT (Sink).
More sensitive sensors with lower magnetic operate points (such as the 10 Oe ADH025-00E) operate with the magnet farther
away. Stronger or larger magnets will also increase the operate distance. Our most sensitive digital sensor (the AFL006; see
AFL-Series sensor datasheet)
has been demonstrated to operate with a rare-earth magnet at an air gap of two inches (50 mm) or
more.
We have a free, Web-based application that provides fields and operate distances for various sensor and magnet types:
