A magnetic impedance element including a substrate made of a non-magnetic material, a thin-film magnetic core formed on said substrate, and first and second electrodes disposed on both ends of said thin-film magnetic core in a longitudinal direction thereof, characterized in that said thin-film magnetic core is formed by laminating a plurality of magnetic films through non-magnetic thin-films.

Magnetics impedance element having a thin film magnetics core

Magnetic impedance element having at least two thin film-magnetic cores

A magnetic sensor includes: an oscillating circuit for allowing an a.c. magnetic field into a magnetic impedance element made of a ferromagnetic substance, having first and second electrodes on both ends thereof in a longitudinal direction thereof and having a structure in which a bias coil and a negative feedback coil are wound around the ferromagnetic substance through an insulator; a detecting circuit for detecting an a.c. voltage of the magnetic impedance element due to a change in the impedance of the magnetic impedance element which is caused by an applied external magnetic field; a peak holding circuit for holding the peak value of the output voltage of the detecting circuit; and an amplifying circuit for differentially amplifying the output of the peak holding circuit.
