KMY/KMZ Linear Magnetic Field Sensors
DESCRIPTION
An uniaxial linear magnetic field (in y-direction) will generate a linear output within the specified magnetic
field range. The sensor is available in two types: the KMY 20 M, KMY 21 M and KMZ 20 M sensor types
contain intrinsic magnets which provide an auxiliary magnetic field (in x-direction) at the sensor die which
prevents magnetic domains from flipping irregularly.
If the dies MR174B or the
components KMY22, KMY20S
or
auxiliary field has to be provided
by the user. The dependence of
the sensitivity with auxiliary field
strength is depicted in the figure
aside.
Auxiliary field strengths below Hx<1.5 kA/m are not recommended, as small disturbances may flip the
magnetization domains. Sometimes, the magnetic conditions in the application may provide enough Hx bias
field stabilization. MEAS Germany can provide advise for customer specific magnet arrangements.
If a bias field Hx is not applied
or Hx is less than 2.5 kA/m, the
sensor may be used only in a
limited
depending on the present total
bias field Hx,tot. In this case, it
is strongly recommended to

Hx,tot is the sum of all acting
