    摘要: A position detection device includes a first position detector, a second position detector, and a signal generator. The first position detector includes a first magnetic field generation unit, a second magnetic field generation unit, and a first magnetic sensor. The second position detector includes a third magnetic field generation unit, a fourth magnetic field generation unit, and a second magnetic sensor. The positions of the second and fourth magnetic field generation units vary in response to variations in a detection-target position. The signal generator generates a position detection signal, which is the sum of a first detection signal generated by the first magnetic sensor and a second detection signal generated by the second magnetic sensor. Each of the first and second position detectors includes a bias magnetic field generation unit.

    摘要: A correction apparatus for an angle sensor includes a correction information generator for generating correction information, and a correction processing unit for performing correction processing in the course of generation of a detected angle value by an angle detector. Details of the correction processing are determined on the basis of the correction information. The correction information generator includes an error estimate generation unit and a correction information determination unit. The error estimate generation unit generates, on the basis of a first signal and a second signal, an error estimate containing a variable component that varies depending on an ideal angle estimate. The correction information determination unit determines the correction information on the basis of the error estimate.

    摘要: Magnetic sensor assembly 1 has first member 10 having first to third magnetic sensors 13A to 13C, and second member 20 having first to third magnets 22A to 22C. Second member 20 can be moved in X and Y directions and can be rotated about a Z axis relative to first member 10. Output of first to third magnetic sensors 13A to 13C monotonously changes. A change of the output of first magnetic sensor and a change of the output of second magnetic sensor are different from each other. First to third magnets are positioned on first to third straight lines L1 to L3. A first angle that is formed between first straight line L1 and X axis, a second angle that is formed between second straight line L2 and X axis, and a third angle that is formed between third straight line L3 and Y axis are same.

    摘要: A magnetic sensor generates a detection signal that varies according to the strength of a target magnetic field at a detection position in a reference plane. The magnetic sensor includes a magnetoresistive element. The magnetoresistive element includes a magnetization pinned layer having a magnetization in a first direction, and a free layer having a magnetization whose direction is variable according to the direction of an acting magnetic field, the acting magnetic field being a composite magnetic field of all magnetic fields acting on the free layer. The free layer has uniaxial magnetic anisotropy such that an easy axis of magnetization is oriented in a direction parallel to a second direction. In the reference plane, both of two directions orthogonal to the second direction are different from the direction of the target magnetic field.
