3-2 SENSORS
The sensors used in the different models are as follows:
•
THM1176-MF,
“Three-axis Hall Magnetometer, Medium Field”:
Single-chip 3-axis Hall sensor with ranges of 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 3 T.
•
THM1176-
HF, “Three-axis Hall Magnetometer, High Field”:
Single-chip 3-axis Hall sensor with ranges of 0.1, 0.5, 3 and 20 T.
•
THM1176-
HFC, “Three-axis Hall Magnetometer, High Field Compact”:
Single-chip 3-axis Hall sensor with ranges of 0.1, 0.5, 3 and 20 T, in a
compact package.
•
THM1176-
LF, “Three-axis Hall Magnetometer, Low Field”:
Assembly of 3 single-axis Hall sensors, with on-chip flux concentrators,
with a range of 8 mT.
•
TFM1186, “Three-axis Fluxgate Magnetometer”:
3-axis fluxgate sensor, with a range of 100 µT (200 µT upon special order).
This sensor distinguishes itself from the others in a number of respects:
differential output, requiring an input adapter; no integrated temperature
sensor; and a connector.
