摘要:
The resistance (Rh) of a magnetoresistive sensor is disposed between the bases of a differential pair of transistors (T1a and T1b) comprising the input stage of an amplifier. Constant bias voltage for the sensor is provided (by J1 and RE) independently of the resistance of the sensor. DC feedback (from g₀) to the input stage balances current flow in both paths of the differential input stage to correct for DC offset arising in the output from the input stage emitter resistor (RE). The amplified signal represents ΔR h /R h , where ΔR h is the change in steady-state resistance, R h , of the sensor.
