Threshold Detection Circuit
The figure below shows the implementation of a low power threshold detection circuit that utilizes the
AAxxx-02 GMR Magnetic Field Sensor and the Burr Brown INA118 instrumentation amplifier.
Comparator hysteresis has been added around the LM311 comparator to minimize random triggering
of the circuit on potential noise sources and pickup. The gain of the instrumentation amplifier is the
same as before. The hysteresis of the comparator is approximately:
