Micro-integrated Double Axis Planar Fluxgate
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a double axis micro-integrated Fluxgate magnetic sensor is presented. The device was designed using a PCB dual axis sensor previously realized as a starting point. In the PCB version the experimental results exhibit excellent agreement with the simulations performed using a tool based on the finite element method. Using the same design approach a version of the double axis Fluxgate structure to be realized in IC technology is here proposed. The accurate study of the magnetic field distribution allows a 75% area saving for the IC version with respect to a direct scaling of the PCB version. Imposing an external magnetic field of about 60 μT, the simulated differential output voltage of the micro-integrated Fluxgate sensor achieves a peak value of 1 mV with 5 mA sinusoidal excitation current peak at 100 kHz.

متن کاملMicro-fluxgate sensor with closed core
Micro-fluxgate sensor with symmetrical core on both sides of the planar rectangular excitation and pick-up coils has substantially improved parameters compared to its single-core predecessor. Almost closed magnetic path for the excitation field allows much deeper saturation of the sensor core, which reduces the perming effect, hysteresis and noise. Perming of max. 5 μT for 6 mT field shock, 28 ...
