Magneto-Resistance Element
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The DM-111A is a highly sensitive magnetic
resistance element, composed of an evaporated
ferromagnetic alloy on a silicon substrate. The
element can be used for detection of rotational
speed and for detection of angle of rotation and as a
detection of position.
Features
• Low power consumption
38µW (Typ.) at VCC=5V
• Low magnetic field and high sensitivity
75mVp-p (Typ.) at VCC=5V
and H=4000A/m
• High reliability
Ensured through silicon nitride protective filming

Changes occur to the output voltage at the saturation region
of V-H curve according to the direction of magnetic flux.
These changes provide for the operation.
• With one rotation of magnetic flux, signals for 2 periods are
obtained.
