KMZ51; Magnetic field sensor
Description |  |
The KMZ51 is an extremely sensitive magnetic field
sensor, employing the magnetoresistive effect of thin-film
permalloy. The sensor contains one magnetoresistive
Wheatstone bridge and integrated compensation and
set/reset conductors. The integrated compensation
conductor allows magnetic field measurement with current
feedback loops to generate an output that is independent
of drift in sensitivity. With the integrated set/reset
conductor the orientation of sensitivity may be set or
changed (flipped). A short current pulse on this conductor
is needed to recover (set) the sensor after exposure to
strong disturbing magnetic fields. A negative current pulse
will reset the sensor to reversed sensitivity. By use of
periodically alternated flipping pulses and a lock-in
amplifier, output will become independent of sensor and
amplifier offset.
