Sony DM-231 Datasheet
Magnetoresistance Element
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
DM-231 a magnetic sensor using magnetoresistance effect is composed of ferromagnetic material
deposited by evaporation on a silicon substrate. It is
suitable for angle of rotation detection.
Features
• Low magnetic field and high sensitivity: bridge type
stands for large output voltage
150 mVp-p (Min.) at VCC=5 V, H=14400 A/m
• Fitted with bias magnet: stable output.
• High reliability: Achieved through silicon nitride
protective film.

Out put
The ferromagnetic magnetoresistance element differs
from the semiconductor magnetoresistance element and
hole element in that it responds only to the magnetic
