    Abstract: A magnetic sensor is provided with first and second magnetoresistive effect elements that can detect an external magnetic field. The first and second magnetoresistive effect elements are a plurality of layers of multilayer body including free layers where their magnetization directions vary due to the external magnetic field. Shapes of the first and second magnetoresistive effect elements viewed from the upper side in the lamination direction are different from each other. The first magnetoresistive effect element has a shape that can increase a slope of an output of the first magnetoresistive effect element relative to the change of the external magnetic field. The second magnetoresistive effect element has a shape that can decrease a slope of an output of the second magnetoresistive effect element relative to the change of the external magnetic field compared to the slope of the output of the first magnetoresistive effect element.

    Abstract: A magnetic field detection apparatus has a first magnetic sensor and a bias magnet positioned to face the first magnetic sensor. The bias magnet has a magnetic pole surface that faces the first magnetic sensor and that applies a bias magnetic field to the first magnetic sensor. The first magnetic sensor detects magnetic field in a first direction that is parallel to the magnetic pole surface. The magnetic pole surface of the bias magnet has a plurality of grooves arranged in the first direction.

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor is provided with first and second magnetoresistive effect elements that can detect an external magnetic field. The first and second magnetoresistive effect elements include at least magnetization direction change layers where a direction of magnetization is changed according to an external magnetic field. The width W1 of a magnetization direction change layer in an initial magnetization direction of the magnetization direction change layer of the first magnetoresistive effect element, and the width W2 of a magnetization direction change layer in an initial magnetization direction of the magnetization direction change layer of the second magnetoresistive effect element have a relationship shown by formula (1) below. Sensitivity of the first magnetoresistive effect element to the external magnetic field is higher than that of the second magnetoresistive effect element. W1>W2  (1)

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor system includes a scale and a magnetic sensor arranged in a relative positional relationship variable in a first direction, and a computing unit. The magnetic sensor includes a first detection circuit, a second detection circuit and a third detection circuit that are disposed at a first position, a second position and a third position, respectively. Each of the first to third detection circuits includes a spin-valve MR element. A difference between two of the first to third positions that are the most distant from each other in a first direction falls within a one-pitch amount of change in the relative positional relationship between the scale and the magnetic sensor. The computing unit generates first and second post-computation signals having mutually different phases by computation using detection signals from the first to third detection circuits.

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor device comprises a magnetic sensor chip that has a substantially rectangular shape and that contains a magnetic sensor element; and a sealing body, which is composed of a resin material containing magnetic particles and that integrally seals the chip. The chip includes a first and second side surfaces which are mutually opposite to each other, and a third and fourth side surfaces which are mutually opposite to each other and orthogonal to the first and second side surfaces. The sealing body contains first to forth sealing parts. The thicknesses of the first and second sealing parts are smaller than the particle diameter of the particles, and the thickness of at least the third sealing part is larger than the particle diameter of the particles. The particles exist in at least the third sealing part and substantially do not exist in the first and second sealing parts.
