Title: Magnetic-field detection sensor
Inventor: TANIGAWA JUNYA
IPC: G01R33/02
Filed: 2016-11-18
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic-field detection sensor capable of reducing consumption of electric current, improving detection accuracy, and increasing a magnetic-field detection range.SOLUTION: A magnetic-field detection sensor includes a detection unit 30 having an amplitude detection circuit 33. The detection unit 30 outputs an electric signal varied depending on variation of impedance from a reference point. The reference point is a position of an extreme value of impedance in characteristics of a magnetic detection element 12 when no external magnetic field is applied to the magnetic detection element 12. The amplitude detection circuit 33 detects amplitude at a timing of each peak at which a direction of a change in a voltage of the electric signal switches. When an external magnetic field is large, no phase difference is detected. Calculation of a magnetic field based on amplitude achieves wide-range detection. Whether or not phase difference can be detected is identified, and a detection mode switches automatically. When phase difference can be detected, either or both of the phase difference and the amplitude are used to detect the size and the direction of the magnetic field.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
