SPECIFICATIONS
AMR sensor
Very high sensitivity
Almost no hysteresis
Various applications
Available with internal magnet
Available in several packages
Due to its featured properties - high sensitivity and almost no
hysteresis the KMY / KMZ sensors are used in a wide range
of applications, like magnetic field measurement, revolution
counters, proximity detecting, and position measurement.
An uniaxial linear magnetic field will generate a linear output
within the specified magnetic field range.

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
KMZ20S are used, the 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 advice 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 field range Hy, depending
on the present total bias field
Hx,tot. In this case, it is strongly
recommended to ‘premagnetize’
the sensor, i.e. align all magnetic
domains consistently, prior to the
measurement.
Hx,tot is the sum of all acting
magnetic fields in x direction at
the sensor die.
Do not use the sensor outside
the safe operating area.
Leaving the save operating area
can destroy an existing
premagnetization and therefore
will lead to unreproducible
sensor signals.
