Magnetic field sensor KMZ10A1
DESCRIPTION
The KMZ10A1 is an extremely sensitive magnetic field
sensor, employing the magnetoresistive effect of thin-film
permalloy. Its properties enable this sensor to be used in a
wide range of applications such as navigation, current and
earth magnetic field measurement etc. The special
arrangement of the sensing chip allows the construction of
coils for switching the auxiliary field (Hx) along the length
axis of the sensor. The sensor can be operated at any
frequency between DC and 1 MHz.

Notes
1. Before first operation or after operation outside the SOAR (Fig.4) the sensor has to be reset by application of an
auxiliary field H
2. No disturbing field (H

) allowed; for stable operation under disturbing conditions see Fig.4 (SOAR) and see Fig.5 for
d

3. Sensitivity measured as ∆V
/∆Hy between Hy= 0 and Hy= 0.4 kA/m.
