The amplification of the input stage (‘OP1’ and ‘OP2’) is
given by:
(9)
where R
T
is the temperature dependent resistance of the
KTY82 sensor and R
B
is the bridge resistance of the
magnetoresistive sensor.
The amplification of the complete amplifier can be
calculated by:
(10)
The positive temperature coefficient (TC) of the
amplification is:
(11)
For the given negative ‘TC’ of the magnetoresistive sensor
and the required amplification of the input stage ‘A1’, the
resistance ‘R
A
’ and ‘R
B
’ can be calculated by:
(12)
(13)
where TC
KTY
is the temperature coefficient of the KTY
sensor and TC
A
is the temperature coefficient of the
amplifier. This circuit also provides for adjustment of gain
and offset voltage of the magnetic-field sensor.
