    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic sensor less subject to an environmental magnetic field. A magnetic sensor includes magnetic detection elements MR1 to MR4 positioned on a first plane P1 and a magnetic member 30A provided on a second plane P2. The magnetic member 30A includes first and second leg parts 41 and 42 and a first main body part 51 positioned between the first and second leg parts 41 and 42 so as to form a first space 61 between itself and the second plane P2. The magnetic detection elements MR1 to MR4 are covered with the first main body part 51. According to the present invention, magnetic field to be detected is collected to the first and second leg parts 41 and 42, and the magnetic detection elements MR1 to MR4 are covered with the first main body part 51, thereby allowing an environmental magnetic field acting as noise to bypass the magnetic detection elements MR1 to MR4 through the first main body part 51. Thus, influence of the environmental magnetic field can be reduced.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce the size and cost of a magnetic sensor suitable for closed loop control. A magnetic sensor includes a magnetoresistive effect element MR1 electrically connected between terminals 41 and 42 and extending in the x-direction and a magnetic member 31 electrically connected between terminal and 44 and extending in the x-direction along the magnetoresistive effect element MR1. The magnetoresistive effect element MR1 is disposed offset with respect to the center position of the magnetic member 31 in the y-direction. According to the present invention, magnetic flux to be detected is collected by the magnetic member 31, and current is made to flow in the magnetic member 31 in accordance with the resistance value of the magnetoresistive effect element MR1, whereby closed loop control can be achieved. That is, the magnetic member 31 has both a magnetism collection function and a function as a cancel coil, thereby reducing the number of elements required, which achieves reduction in size and cost.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to selectively detect a detection magnetic field without separately providing a sensor for detecting an environmental magnetic field. A magnetic field detection device includes a magnetic field detection unit 10 that generates an output signal S1 according to a magnetic field, a first signal generation unit 20 that extracts a predetermined frequency component from the output signal S1 and generates a cancel signal S2 based on the predetermined frequency component, a first magnetic field generation unit 40 that applies a first cancel magnetic field to the magnetic field detection unit 10 based on the cancel signal S2, and a second signal generation unit 30 that generates a detection signal S3 based on the output signal S1 of the magnetic field detection unit 10 to which the first cancel magnetic field is applied. According to the present invention, a cancel signal is generated based on a frequency component of an output signal, and a first cancel magnetic field is applied to a magnetic field detection unit using the cancel signal. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a sensor for detecting an environmental magnetic field. Because this configuration reduces the number of parts, downsizing and cost reduction can be realized.
