World Class Industrial Switches
NVE's AD/ADV-Series GMR switches are rugged, precise, fast, and ultraminiature.
Competitive sensors come up short.
Omnipolar Output
Several AD-Series GMR sensors are omnipolar, meaning they respond identically
to equal strength north and south magnetic fields. This directional indifference
simplifies production and makes sensor-magnet alignment requirements less stringent.
Unipolar sensors only detect north magnetic fields.
Temperature Stability
NVE's AD/ADV-Series has remarkable temperature stability, keeping excellent performance
over -40°C to 125 °C. Our sensors work up to 30 V in this range, without
any asterisks or derating curves, while competitors hide details in the fine print.
Sensitive
The AD/ADV-Series set the standard for high sensitivity and have several options
for different magnetic sensing systems.
Fast
NVE AD/ADV-Series Switches will respond to magnetic fields cycling as fast as
100 kHz. ALPS and AKM don’t even specify a frequency response, and TDK switches
only work up to 12 kHz.
Ultraminiature
As small as 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm, NVE's AD/ADV-Series Switches offer a new standard
of miniaturization for rugged industrial applications. Competitive sensors by
ALPS, TDK, and AKM are at least 30% bigger, wasting your precious board space.
