Accurate rotational speed measurement is a vital component
in maintaining performance, safety and reliability in modern
vehicles. It forms the basis of numerous applications from anti-lock
braking to engine management systems, and opens the way for
embedding intelligence throughout the car with the introduction
of advanced X-by-wire networks and control systems.
Component detail of the KMI20
NXP’s KMI family of magnetoresistive (MR) rotational speed
sensors provides a solution for all applications. Designed
specifically to meet the needs of automotive systems,
they are complete, ready-to-use modules comprising sensor,
back-biasing magnet and advanced signal conditioning IC.
Enabling maximum design flexibility, the devices are available
with a choice of output signals and individually magnetized
back-biasing magnets.

How to measure rotation with MR sensors
The KMI sensors are designed to sense the motion of ferrous gear wheels or of magnetized targets. A periodic magnetic field
stemming from the effect of flux bending by ferrous gear wheels or directly from magnetized targets will be transformed by
a MR sensor into an analog electrical signal. The frequency of this signal is proportional to the rotational speed of the target.

A subsequent integrated circuit transforms the analogue into a digital output signal. The output level is independent of the sensing distance within the
measurement range.

Ñ
Large (8.0 x 8.0 x 4.5 mm) – for maximum air gap
between sensor and ferrous targets
Ñ
Medium (5.5 x 5.5 x 3.0 mm) – for use with ferrous
targets where space is limited
Ñ
Small (3.8 x 2.0 x 0.8 mm) – for magnetized targets,
stabilizing the inherently bi-stable MR sensor

The MR sensor signal is fed into the conditioning IC. The offset, gain and
hysteresis are digitally adapted to ensure an exceptional air gap capability.
MR sensors offer a uniquely versatile combination of features
and important cost benefits. Based on the MR effect,
specifically designed sensors for angle and linear displacement
measurements are also available from NXP, as are solutions for
weak field detection.
NXP sensors are based on the MR effect, where the resistance

The magnetoresistive effect in permalloy
(19% Fe, 81% Ni) changes under the influence of an external
magnetic field. If an external field is applied, in the plane of the
current flow, the internal magnetization vector will rotate by the
angle of this field, changing the resistance of the material.
The MR sensor consists of four sensitive resistors in a
Wheatstone bridge configuration, with each resistor arranged
to maximize sensitivity and minimize temperature influences.
Such a Wheatstone bridge design along with the inherent
benefits of MR technology provides several advantages:
Ñ
reduction of temperature drift
Ñ
independent of mechanical assembly tolerances / shifts
Ñ
maximum signal output
Ñ
reduction of non-linearity
