DESCRIPTION

The ZMZ20M is an extremely sensitive magnetic field sensor in a 4 pin
E-line package employing the magneto-resistive effects of thin film
Permalloy. It allows the measurement of magnetic fields or the detection
of metallic parts. The sensor consists of a chip covered with Permalloy
stripes which form a Wheatstone bridge, whose output voltage is
proportional to the magnetic field component Hy. A perpendicular field Hx
is necessary to suppress the hysteresis and this is provided by an internal
permanent magnet.

FEATURES

Output voltage proportional to magnetic field Hy

Magnetic fields vertical to the chip level are not
effective

APPLICATIONS

Linear position sensors for process control, door
interlocks, proximity detectors, machine tool
sensing

Scalar measurement for compassing

Automotive - door switches, engine position and
speed sensing

Metering of fluids by sensing rotation of impeller

Traffic counting & vehicle-type sensing

Measurement of current in a conductor without
connection
