The GMR C6 is an angle sensor based on sputtered metallic multilayer technology.
4 resistors are monolithically integrated on 1 chip. Providing two halfbridges, if
2 external resistors are added. The outstanding feature of this magnetic sensor is the
fact, that it is sensitive to the orientation of the magnetic field and not to its intensity as
long as the field is in a range between 5 … 15 kA/m. This means, the signal output of
this sensor is independent of the sensor position relative to the magnet in lateral, axial
or rotational direction in the range of several millimetres. Optimum results are achieved
by using magnetic targets like permanent magnets or magnetic pole-wheels. There is no
need for a biasing magnet! Due to the linear change of both, basic and field dependent
part of the resistance vs. temperature, simple and efficient electronic compensation of
