TMR type magnetic sensors (GIGS®)
TMR type magnetic sensors "GIGS®(nano-Granular In Gap magnetic Sensors)", This unique sensor, GIGS works with 1/100 of power than the conventional magnetic sensors and is 10 times smaller in size, using the TMR effect that a reluctance rate of change is bigger than the conventional GMR magnetic sensors.
TMR type sensors: energy saving, small, high sensitivity, wide range of magnetic perception is possible.
GIGS® is registered trademark of the Research Institute of Electirc and Magnetic Materials.
Featur of TMR type magnetic sensors "GIGS®"
- Sensitivity and resistance value can be set separately each other.
- Resistance is in inverse proportion to gap width.
- The sensitivity is adjusted in aspect ratio of Yoke.
- Extremely stable sensitivity curves of the hysteresis is provided even if resistance value and sensitivity are changed.
- High magnetic reluctance ratio
- Magnetic reluctance ratio (6～10%)
- Low electric consumption with high electric resistance.
- 80kΩ～600kΩ
- Compact
- Element : Less than 1mm
- Full bridge (4 elements): 0.65mm × 0.65mm.
Example of usage GIGS®
GIGS can be a substitute of strong magnetic MR / GMR, Hall sensor, since it is small size with high sensitivity, output and low electric consumption.
- High sensitive rotary sensor
- Various sensors for automobile (rotary, angle, position sensor)
- Sensors for battery drive vehicle.
- Sensors for multiple array use.
Function of GIGS®
GIGS® provides high sensitivity (high reluctance ratio), since yoke reacts sensitively to the outside magnetic field and magnetizes "high resistance nano Granular film" efficiently.
