The differential magnetoresistive sensor FP 212 D 250-22 consists of two series coupled
magneto resistors (D-type InSb/NiSb semiconductor resistors whose value can be
magnetically controlled) which are mounted onto an insulated ferrite substrate. The
sensor is encapsulated in a plastic package and has three connecting terminals. The
basic resistance of the total system is 2×250
Ω.
A permanent magnet which supplies a
biasing magnetic field is fixed on the base of the sensor.

Measuring arrangements
By approaching a soft iron part close to the sensor a change in its resistance is obtained.
The potential divider circuit of the magneto resistor causes a reduction in the
temperature dependence of the output voltage

1. Digital revolution counting
For digital revolution counting, the sensor should be actuated by a magnetically soft iron
toothed wheel. The tooth spacing should correspond to about twice the magneto resistor
intercenter spacing i.e. 2×1.6 mm (see
Fig. 1).
The two resistors of the sensor are supplemented by two additional resistors in order to
obtain the sensor output voltage as a bridge voltage
V
OUT
. The output voltage
V
OUT
without excitation then is 0 V when the offset is compensated.

2. Linear distance measurement
To convert small distances into a proportional electric signal, a small soft iron part of
definite width (e.g.
b
= 1.8 mm) is moved over the face of the sensor.
Proportional signals for distances up to 1.5 mm can be obtained in this way. The
sinusoidal output signal gives a voltage proportional to distance in the zero crossover
region (see
Fig. 3).
