Notes:

1. One Oersted (Oe) = 1 Gauss in air.
2. Unipolar operation means exposure to magnetic fields of one polarity, for example 0 to +30 Gauss, or -2 to -50 Gauss. Bipolar operation (for example -5 to +10 Gauss) increases nonlinearity and hysteresis.
3. BA-Series GMR sensors are pure ratiometric devices, thus operating at extremely low supply voltages. The output signal will be proportional to the supply voltage. Maximum voltage is limited by package power dissipation and maximum operating temperature.
4. Unipolar operation means exposure to magnetic fields of one polarity, e.g., 0 to 30 Gauss, or -2 to -20 Gauss, but not -20 to +30 Gauss (bipolar operation). Bipolar operation will increase nonlinearity and hysteresis.
5. TCR is resistance change over temperature with no applied field. TCOI is the output change over temperature with a constant current source powering the sensor. TCOV is the output change over temperature with a constant voltage source powering the sensor.
6. Beta (β) is the angle from the axis of maximum sensitivity.
