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.

The kit consists of an assortment of NVE sensors, printed circuit boards and permanent magnets sufficient to demonstrate sensor functionality in the laboratory. The kit consists of the following: Part Number Quantity Description AA002-02 AAH002-02 AAL002-02 AA003-02 AA004-02 AA005-02 AA006-02 AB001-02 AG004-06 AG005-06 SN 12031 SN 12030 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 15 Oe/5 k Field Sensor 6 Oe/2 k Field Sensor 15 Oe/5 k Field Low Hysteresis Sensor 20 Oe/5 k Field Sensor 50 Oe/5 k Field Sensor 100 Oe/5 k Field Sensor 50 Oe/30 k Field Sensor 250 Oe/5 k Field Gradient Sensor Long PCB- 3.0" x 0.3" Square PCB- 0.5" x 0.5" Ceramic 5- Disc Magnets Ferrite Rectangular magnets - 74 www.nve.com phone: 952-829-9217 fax: 952-829-9189 Evaluation Kits 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: 1 Trace no. 1 2 Trace Width (inches) 0.090 0.060 Maximum Trace Input Current (A) 9.0 6.0 Nominal Sensitivity ([mV/V]out/Ain) 3.5 3.7 3 4 0.010 7 x 0.010 0.25 0.25 4.0 20.0 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 3. For functional characteristics of the AA003-02 current sensor refer to the AA Sensors section of this catalog. parameters and must be determined by the user. 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. 2.00 NVE NVE AC00401 Trace 1 Current Sensor Evaluation Board 1-800-GMR-7141 AG002-01 Trace 2 NVE AC00401 Trace 3 NVE AC00401 NVE AC00401 Trace 4 - 75 www.nve.com phone: 952-829-9217 fax: 952-829-9189 Evaluation Kits AG910-07 and AG911-07 GMR Switch Evaluation Kits These kits were created to facilitate laboratory experimentation and development using NVE's GMR Switch Digital Output Sensors. The kits consist of sixteen distinct NVE GMR Switches that span the magnetic field range and output types available in the AD-Series sensors. All sensors in this kit are packaged in the MSOP8 miniature surface mount package. The kits also include a ceramic bar magnet and printed circuit boards (PCBs) for testing in the actual application. In addition, the AG910-07 kit includes a high temperature (175C) MSOP8 ZIF socket with Kelvin contacts.
