When GMR sensor elements are combined with digital on-board signal processing
electronics, the result is the GMR Switch. The GMR Switch offers unmatched precision
and flexibility in magnetic field sensing.
When GMR sensor elements are combined with digital on-board signal processing
electronics, the result is the GMR Switch. The GMR Switch offers unmatched precision
and flexibility in magnetic field sensing.
The GMR Switch will accurately and reliably sense magnetic fields with less error than
any other magnetic sensor on the market today. In addition, there is little shift in the
magnetic field operate point of the GMR Switch over voltage and temperature extremes.
This gives NVE’s customer the ability to make a high precision, high tolerance magnetic
sensing assembly.

The GMR switch can operate over a wide range of magnetic fields, and is the most
precise magnetic sensor on the market. It is the clear choice when a digital output signal
is required of a magnetic sensor.

Note on Availability of Products
NVE keeps about 25 of the most popular types of GMR Switch products in
stock at our manufacturing facility. However, because there are over 100
different varieties of GMR Switch parts, some part numbers may require a 6 to 8
week lead time before production quantities are available. Please contact NVE
for further information.
GMR Switch Product Selection Guide
GMR Switch Product Selection Guide
NVE’s GMR Switch is available in a wide range of packaging, output type, and magnetic
trigger field varieties. The purpose of this selection guide is to explain the different
output and packaging options, as well as to provide information on how to specify the
correct part number when ordering.
All NVE GMR Switch product part numbers follow the same general form. As shown
below, the first “x” in the part number specifies output type and available voltage
regulator output, the next two x’s specify trigger field and direction of sensitivity, and the
last pair specify the package type. The following sections define these variations in
detail.

Output Type and Available Regulator
The first numeric digit of the part number NVE ADxxx-xx specifies the output type, and
the availability of a regulated voltage supply on a separate pin. The following four output
types are available:
20 mA Current Sink
20 mA Current Source
Separate 20 mA Sink and Source
Two Separate 20 mA Sinks
All outputs turn ON when the magnetic field is applied. An output that turns OFF when
the magnetic field is applied is available as a custom product; please consult NVE.
Some of NVE’s GMR Switches also feature a regulated supply voltage available external
to the part on a separate pin. This regulator provides a 5.8V reference capable of
supplying up to 3 mA of drive current. This regulated output may be used to run an LED
or other low power device.
