MAGNETIC FIELD SENSORS
DESCRIPTION
The ZMZ20M is an extremely sensitive magnetic field sensor ina4pin
E-line package employing the magneto-resistive effects of thin film
Permalloy. It allows the measurement of magnetic fields or the detection
of metallic parts. The sensor consists of a chip covered with Permalloy
stripes which form a Wheatstone bridge, whose output voltage is
proportional to the magnetic fieldcomponentHy.A perpendicular field Hx
is necessary to suppress the hysteresis and this is provided by an internal
permanent magnet.
FEATURES
Output voltage proportional to magnetic field Hy
•
Magnetic fields vertical to the chip level are not
•
effective
