Tunnelling Magneto Resistive Linear Sensors from MDT 

Multi Dimension Technology, a leading supplier of magnetic sensors specialising in Tunnelling Magneto Resistance (TMR) technology, has announced a line-up of three linear magnetic field sensors, the MMLD47F, MMLP57F and MMLP57H.

These three sensors boast the following outstanding performance figures in the most critical magnetic sensor design features, which have never before been realized by any magnetic field sensor :-

    • Large dynamic range of ±70 Oe
    • Ultra-low hysteresis below 0.1% of the full-scale field range
    • High sensitivity up to 6mV/V/Oe
    • Power consumption as low as 5μW

They are designed to suit a variety of industrial and consumer applications under diverse operating conditions, including magnetic field, current, and position sensing.

Dr. Song Xue, Chairman and CEO of Multi Dimension Technology explains :-
"MDT's new TMR linear sensors provide the best value to applications that demand large dynamic range, precision measurement, high sensitivity, and low power consumption. Backed by our strong intellectual property portfolio and advanced manufacturing facilities, we are fully capable of offering all these critical benefits in a single sensor design. This combination of benefits is unprecedented, and it is not achievable using any other existing magnetic sensor technologies, including Anisotropic Magneto Resistance (AMR), Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR), or the Hall Effect.”

“MDT is the first high-volume manufacturer that brings the full advantages of TMR technology to the commercial sensor market. With our world-class expertise in TMR technology, volume production, application engineering, and technical support, we are confident that MDT will create ground-breaking opportunities to expedite the growth of the magnetic sensor industry, which are otherwise not possible in today's market."

The MMLD47F, MMLP57F and MMLP57H sensors are available in a 6mm x 5mm x 1.7mm SOP8 package and a small 3mm x 3mm x 0.75mm DFN8 package for space-constrained designs. They exhibit ultra-low hysteresis below 0.1% full-scale, while operating over a wide field range of up to +/-70 Oe, and they show excellent temperature stability from -40°C to 125°C. The magnetic field sensitivity is designed to be 3 mV/V/Oe to 6 mV/V/Oe, and the typical current consumption is between 5μA and 12.5μA with a 1V voltage supply.

Multi Dimension Technology was founded in 2010 in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, China, with branch offices in Shanghai and San Jose, California, USA. MDT has developed a unique intellectual property portfolio, and state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities that can support volume production of high-performance, low-cost TMR sensors to satisfy the most demanding application needs. Led by its core management team of elite experts and veterans in magnetic sensor technology and engineering services, MDT is committed to creating added value for its customers and ensuring their success.
