DESCRIPTION
The ZMY20M is an extremely sensitive magnetic sensor employing the magneto-resistive effect of thin film permalloy. It allows the measurement of magnetic fields or the detection of magnetic parts. The highly sensitive and small size magnetoresistive sensors consist of chip covered with thin film permalloy stripes. These stripes form a Wheatstone bridge, whose output voltage is proportional to the magnetic field component Hy. The required perpendicular field Hx which is necessary to stabilize sensor operation, is created by an internal permanent magnet.
