Abstract
A magnetic field alternation detecting apparatus includes a magnetic member sensor enclosed in a case and having a core (i.e., a yoke) to which a magnet is attached and around which a coil is wound. The magnetic member sensor obtains as an electromotive voltage a change in magnetic flux linking the coil on the basis of a magnetic field distribution disturbed by an approaching magnetic member present near the case from a pair of output terminals of the coil. An analog-to-digital converter is connected to the output terminals of the coil using at least one control terminal of a transistor such as a bipolar transistor or an enhancement operation field effect transistor. A main current terminal of the transistor is connected to a pair of output terminals.
