Title:
MAGNETISM DETECTING CIRCUIT, MAGNETIC SENSOR USING THE SAME, MAGNETIC SPHERE POSITION DETERMINING APPARATUS USING THEM, AND LENGTH/BREADTH DETERMINING SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/113939
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A magnetism detecting circuit wherein any erroneous detection caused by variations
of magnetoresistive elements can be prevented without degradation of sensitivity.
For this purpose, four magnetoresistive elements are used to configure a bridge
circuit having output potentials V1 and V2, and four adjusting
resistors are used to configure a bridge circuit having output potentials Vref1
and Vref2 with the values of the adjusting resistors adjusted such
that V1 and V2 are equal to Vref1 and Vref2,
respectively. Additionally, using this magnetism detecting circuit allows
a provision of an apparatus for determining the positions of magnetic bodies
that can be reduced in size.
