Evaluation Kits
In order for our customers to evaluate GMR sensors in their application NVE makes available several
evaluation kits, at nominal cost, so that customers can try the actual parts in their application. These
kits are described below:
AG001-01 - Analog Sensor Evaluation Kit
This kit features several types of NVE’s AA and AB-Series parts, a selection of permanent
magnets for activation or bias purposes, and circuit boards to mount the parts for testing purposes.
AG003-01 - Current Sensor Evaluation Kit
This kit features a specially designed circuit board with traces running under the sensor elements.
The customer can try different current levels to see the output from the sensor.
AG910-07, AG911-07 - GMR Switch Evaluation Kits
These kits include several GMR Switch parts with different magnetic operate points and different
output options such as current sink and current source. In addition, magnets and circuit boards for
mounting the parts in the application are included. In the AG910-07 kit, a socket for easy testing
of the MSOP-8L package is also included.
AG920-07 - GT Sensor Evaluation Kit
NVE’s newest evaluation kit includes analog and digital versions of the GT sensor product line
plus our DD001-12 stand-alone signal processing IC. A variety of PCB configurations are
provided so that the parts can be tested in different housing and barrel sizes including the M8
housing. Magnets for biasing are also included.
Evaluation kits may be ordered direct from NVE’s web site or from our authorized distributors. See
NVE’s web site for the list of authorized distributors.

AG003-01 Current Sensor Evaluation Kit
The NVE GMR Current Sensor Evaluation Assembly (P/N AG003-01) was created to facilitate
laboratory experimentation and development using GMR current sensors. The kit consists of (4) four
NVE current sensors (P/N AA003-02) assembled to a printed circuit board (P/N AG002-01). Please
note that the AA003-02 was selected for inclusion in this kit because it is a good medium sensitivity
current sensor. In fact, any of NVE’s AA sensor products can be used in this application for more or
less sensitivity to the magnetic field generated by the current. The PCB included in the kit has (4) four
trace geometries to simulate various PCB current ranges. The details are as follows:

Notes:
1. The maximum current is based on the rated current carrying capability of each trace geometry.
2. The minimum current the assembly can sense is arbitrary. The absolute value is dependent on many system design
parameters and must be determined by the user.
3. For functional characteristics of the AA003-02 current sensor refer to the AA Sensors section of this catalog.
4. Refer to NVE’s Engineering & Application Notes, Appendix APP 003, “GMR Current Sensing” for additional technical
details.
5. The AG003-01 assembly can be subdivided into (4) four separate sub-assemblies. All connections to each input trace and
current sensor are isolated on each sub-section.
