When GMR sensor elements are combined with digital on-board signal processing

electronics, the result is the GMR Switch. The GMR Sw itch offers unmatched pr ecision

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.

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, becau se 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

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 sp ecify trigger field and direction of sensitivity, and the

last pair specify the package type. The following sections define these variations in

detail.

the availability of a regulated voltage supply on a separate pin. The following four output

types are available:

20 mA Current Sink

Separate 20 mA Sink and Source

Two Separate 20 mA Sinks

All outputs turn ON when the magn e tic 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.

In addition to these options, NVE recently introduced a GMR Switch that has provisions

for shutting down an external power transistor in case a short circuit is detected. This is

useful in applications where the finished sensor assembly must be “bulletproof,” or

immune to improper connection.

The second and third numeric digits of the part number NVE ADxxx-xx specify the

magnetic trigger field and direction of sensitivity of the part. Five different magnetic

trigger fields are available for th e GMR Switch:

- 10 Gauss (10 Oe, 1.0 mT, 0.8 kA/m)

- 20 Gauss (20 Oe, 2.0 mT, 1.6 kA/m)

- 28 Gauss (28 Oe, 2.8 mT, 2.23 kA/m)

- 40 Gauss (40 Oe, 4.0 mT, 3.2 kA/m)

- 80 Gauss (80 Oe, 8.0 mT, 6.4 kA/m)

Other magnetic trigger field levels ranging up to 250 Gauss are available on a custom

basis; please contact NVE.

In addition to defining the magnetic operate point, these two digits are used to define the

direction of sensitivity and optional low voltage operation. The GMR Switch can be

ordered in Standard Axis or Cro ss Axis directions of sensitivity; for definitions please see

NVE AD Series Sensitivity Direction and Pin Configuration later in this section.

NVE also makes a GMR Switch with the on-chip voltage regulator bypassed. This limits

the voltage range of the part, but allows it to operate at voltages as low as 3.0V.

Package Type

NVE GMR Switches are available in three different packages: an SOIC 8 pin package,

an MSOP 8 pin small outline package, and a TDFN 6 pin ultra-miniature package.

Package drawings are shown in the Appendix.

Note1: At this time, the TDFN6 package is only available in AD0xx-10 configuration.

In addition to these three package typ e s, NVE offers a custom version of the MSOP8

package for the NVE AD024-00 part. In this version, the BD012-00, all three

connections are made on one side of the package, and the pins on the other side of the

package are clipped off flush with the body of the package. This allows the user to

position the sensing element as close to the edge of a circuit board or assembly as

possible. A pinout of this package is shown below:

The maximum length of the clipped leads is 0.30mm, leading to an overall package

length of 4.25mm, as compared to 4.90mm for the normal MSOP8 package. This part is

available in tape and reel format only.

Other versions of the GMR Switch may be available in this package configuration on a

special order basis. Please contact NVE for further information.

Description:

NVE AD8xx and AD9xx GMR Switches are designed specifically for use with an

external high current outpu t transistor in industrial control environments. These parts

provide the same precise magnetic performance NVE’s GMR Switch is known for, with

the additional fun c tionality of short circuit protection (SCP) for the outpu t stage of the

circuit. The protection circuit is designed to shut off the output stage when a short circuit

condition exists; after a ti me interval specified by the user, the circuit turns back on. If

the short circuit cond ition still exists, the output stage is again shut off and the cycle

repeats. The use of this sensor, along with external reverse battery protection and

overvoltage protection, results in a “bulletproof” sensor assembly. A functional block

Notes:

1. The t2 Cap is used to delay the startup of the SCP circuitry, in order to avoid triggering the SCP

circuitry on normal startup transients: see t2 on the graph above. Typical value is 16V, 0.001μF, for

a 35μs delay.

2. The t1 Cap is used to set the “Off” time of the SCP circuitry; see t1 on the graph above. Typical

value is 16V, 0.01μF, for a 15ms Off time.

3. The voltage across RSHORT is monitored by the IC; if this voltage exceeds 145mV (typical), the SCP

circuitry is activated. Typical value of RSHORT is 0.47 Ohms, 1/16 watt. This will result in SCP

circuitry turning on at about 300mA of output current.

4. RBIAS1 and RBIAS2 are used to bias the output transistor. Typical values for RBIAS1 and RBIAS2 are 16K

and 3K, respectively, to supply 1mA drive to the output transistor.

5. RLED is sized for whatever LED current is required by the user; maximum of 3 mA.

Description: Description:

The NVE ADH0xx Series GMR Switch uses NVE’s high sensitivity, high temperature

GMR material to provide a very low magnetic field operate point. It offers the same

precision operate points ov er all temperature and input voltage conditions as our other

GMR Switch products. It is available in standard form as the NVE ADH025-00 with a

magnetic trigger field of 10 Gauss, a current sinking output, and a cross axis

configuration. Custom versions with trigger fields ranging from 6 to 40 Gauss, and

different output op tions and sensitivity directions could be manufactured for specific

customer requirements; please contact NVE for details.

Notes:

1. Differential = Operate Point – Release Point

2. Minimum Release Point for ADH0xx-xx = 2.0 Oe.

3. Output current must be limited by a series resistor. Exceeding absolute maximum continuous output

current ratings will result in damage to the part. See the figure in the GMR Switch Product Selection

Guide for an output current derating curve.

4. Thermal power dissipation for the packages used by NVE is 240°C/Watt for the SOIC8 package,

and 320°C/Watt for the MSOP8 and TDFN6 packages. See the Figure on Ambient Temperature vs.

Supply Voltage for derating information. Heat sinking the parts by attaching them to a PCB

improves temperature perform ance.

5. There is no maximum magnetic field that will cause damage to the device.
