magnetoresistive sensors
convert magnetic fields to
a differential output volt-
age, capable of sensing
magnetic fields as low as
30 µgauss. These MRs
offer a small, low cost,
high sensitivity and high
reliability solution for low
field magnetic sensing.

(1) VBridge = 4.3V, IS/R = 3.2A, VOUT = VSET – VRESET
(2) If VBridge = 8.0V, IS/R = 2.0A, lower S/R current leads to greater output variation.
(3) Effective current from power supply is less than 1mA.
(4) Not tested in production, guaranteed by characterization.
