| Magnetic field sensors | | Magnetic field sensors are used for the measurement of weak magnetic fields, which are typically lower than 3 kA/m. Characteristic for those sensors is on the one hand that their output signal is to a large extent linear. On the other hand polarity of the signal depends on the magnetic field direction (see illustration). |

| The sensitivity and width of the working area is determined by an auxiliary field, which is produced by an additional auxiliary magnet.
MEAS Deutschland GmbH offers sensors with built-in magnets for standard applications.
Typical application areas for this kind of sensors are the detection and/or position recognition of permanent magnets in relatively large distances. A half-bridge sensor with integrated auxiliary magnet is available for seizing fast changes in magnetic fields. Our KMZ 20 and KMY 20 Series are based on our MR 174B-Chip, whose characteristic curve is shown above.
