KMT36H 360 Magnetic Angle Sensor SPECIFICATIONS AMR Sensor with 360 capability 3 TDFN outline 2.5x2.5x0.75 mm Three 120 phase-shifted signals Moderate field strength requirements The KMT36H is a magnetic field sensor utilizing the anisotropic magneto resistance effect. Therefore the sensor is sensing the magnetic field direction rather than the magnetic field strength. The sensor contains three Wheatstone bridges rotated by 120. A rotating magnetic field (typical strength 25 kA/m in the sensor plane) will result in three sinusoidal output signals with a period of 180, phase shifted by 60 field angle. By use of a modified atan algorithm the field angle can be calculated with high accuracy. As an unique feature, the KMT36H is able to measure full 360 by utilizing an additional magnetic field which is generated by a planar coil that is integrated on the chip. The 180/360 determination is done by a simple sign distinction and may be computed periodically or only once at power up.

The accuracy is defined as the max. angular difference between actual field angle and measured angle calculated from the third and fifth harmonics of the Fourier spectrum. The hysteresis is defined as angular difference between left and right turn. 2) Generated with reference magnet 67.044 Magnetfabrik Bonn (25 kA/m 5.2 mm distance). 3) Minimum value depends on decreasing accuracy, upper limit on decreasing coil influence. Both are no absolute limits, but depend on the given application requirements. 4) Offset voltages measured as difference voltages V -V , V -V and V -V in relation to V .
