Description

AD-Series GMR Switches are the industry standard for

sensitivity and precision.

GMR Switches integrate GMR sensor elements with digital

signal processing electronics. These sensors are more precise

than other magnetic sensors, and magnetic field operate

points are stable over voltage and temperature extremes.

AD-Series models available in a wide variety of magnetic

operate points and output configurations. Versions are

available with short-circuit protection circuitry and with

integrated voltage regulators.

ON / OFF Behavior

AD-Series sensor outputs turn ON when the field exceeds the magnetic operate point, and OFF when the field drops below the

operate point minus the release differential.

External Pull-Up Resistors

Outputs are open collector, with PNP output transistors for sourcing versions and NPN transistors for sinking versions. Outputs

should have external pull-up or pull-down resistors. For microcontroller interfaces, the microcontroller’s input pull-up resistors can

be activated.

Omnipolar

GMR Switches are “omnipolar,” which means the outputs turn ON when a magnetic field of either magnetic polarity is applied.

In-Plane Magnetic Sensitivity

As the field varies in intensity, the digital output will turn on and off. Unlike Hall-effect or other sensors, the direction of

sensitivity is in the plane of the package. The diagrams below show two permanent magnet orientations that will activate the

sensor in the direction of sensitivity:

Figure 3. Planar magnetic sensitivity.

Standard and Cross-Axis Sensitivity

Standard AD-Series sensors are sensitive along the part axis as shown in Figure 4b, but a number of versions are available with

cross-axis sensitivity (see Figure 4a).

Illustrative Application Circuits

Figure 7. Short-circuit protection circuitry (sinking output).

If the voltage across RSHORT exceeds 145 mV (typical), the SCP circuitry is activated. An RSHORT of 0.47Ω then results in a

protection threshold of approximately 300 mA.

Capacitor C2 delays the shutdown so normal startup transients do not trigger the circuitry; a 0.001 μF capacitor can be used for a

typical 35 μs delay (t1). C1 sets the SCP “OFF” time (t2), which is typically 0.01 μF for 15 ms OFF time.

The short-circuit output current using these typical component values is shown below:

Figure 8. AD821 / AD921 output current with typical SCP components and output shorted

(see Figures 5 and 6 for circuits).

RBIAS1 and RBIAS2 bias the output transistor. Typical values for are 16 KΩ for RBIAS1 and 3 KΩ for RBIAS2, which provides 1 mA of

transistor base current. RLED sets the LED current up to a maximum of 3 mA.

External Short-Circuit Protection

NVE offers a separate Power Switch IC, the DB001-00, for sensor Short Circuit Protection of sensors that do not have SCP

support. The DB001 also provides a high-current output, reverse battery protection, and transient protection.

A typical circuit is as follows:
