Abstract
A magnetic sensor for detecting a component of an external magnetic field in a specific direction includes a resistor array including a plurality of resistive element sections each having a magnetoresistance element. Each of the plurality of resistive element sections has a different output characteristic curve with respect to the component of the external magnetic field in the specific direction.
Claims11
A magnetic sensor for detecting a component of an external magnetic field in a specific direction, comprising
- a plurality of resistive element sections that are connected to each other to form a resistor array, each of the plurality of resistive element sections having only one magnetoresistance element,
- wherein each of the plurality of resistive element sections has a different output characteristic curve with respect to the component of the external magnetic field in the specific direction, and
- wherein the output characteristic curve of each of the plurality of resistive element sections is the behavior of the resistance of a respective resistive element section with respect to the external magnetic field.
