Abstract

To reduce the influence of disturbance noise in a magnetic sensor provided with an external magnetic body around which a compensation coil is wound. A magnetic sensor includes an external magnetic body that collects a magnetic field to be detected in a magnetosensitive element and a compensation coil. The compensation coil includes a solenoid part wound around the external magnetic body and lead-out parts C1 and C2 that connect both ends of the solenoid part respectively to connection pins P1 and P2. The lead-out part C2 passes through the inner diameter area of the solenoid part to be connected to the connection pin P2. This makes the second lead-out part unlikely to act as an antenna, which can reduce the influence of disturbance noise.

Abstract

To prevent, in a magnetic sensor provided with an external magnetic body for collecting magnetic flux in a magnetism detection element, breakage of the external magnetic body. A magnetic sensor includes: a sensor chip having an element formation surface on which magnetism detection elements are formed, an external magnetic body having an end face positioned at the leading end of the longitudinal direction thereof and facing the element formation surface and side surfaces constituting the outer peripheral surface of the cross section thereof perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a protective resin at least partially covering the element formation surface and the side surfaces of the external magnetic body. This makes it possible to prevent breakage of the sensor chip and external magnetic body upon application of an external shock.

Abstract

In a power conversion device, a control circuit sets an output voltage of a boost converter to a first output voltage level or a second output voltage level in accordance with a voltage corresponding to the input voltage, causes an electric current resonant converter to operate in a full-bridge mode as an operating mode when the first output voltage level has been set, and causes the electric current resonant converter to operate in a half-bridge mode as an operating mode when the second output voltage level has been set. The first output voltage level or the second output voltage level is set at a predetermined timing after the input voltage is input and a set operating mode is maintained until a process of setting the first output voltage level or the second output voltage level is reset.
