DESCRIPTION
The ZMZ20M is an extremely sensitive magnetic field sensor in a 4 pin
E-line package employing the magneto-resistive effects of thin film
Permalloy. It allows the measurement of magnetic fields or the detection
of metallic parts. The sensor consists of a chip covered with Permalloy
stripes  which  form  a  Wheatstone  bridge,  whose  output  voltage  is
proportionaltothemagneticfieldcomponentHy.AperpendicularfieldHx
is necessary to suppress the hysteresis and this is provided by an internal
permanent magnet.
FEATURES
" Output voltage proportional to magnetic field Hy
"  Magnetic fields vertical to the chip level are not
effective
APPLICATIONS
"  Linear position sensors for process control, door
interlocks, proximity detectors, machine tool
sensing
"  Scalar measurement for compassing
"  Automotive - door switches, engine position and
speed sensing
"  Metering of fluids by sensing rotation of impeller
"  Traffic counting & vehicle-type sensing
"  Measurement of current in a conductor without
connection
