Abstract

See full text

A magnetic proportional current sensor includes a magnetic-field detection bridge circuit constituted by four magnetoresistive elements having resistance values changed with application of an induced magnetic field from a current to be measured. Each of the four magnetoresistive elements includes a ferromagnetic pinned layer made up of a first ferromagnetic film and a second ferromagnetic film antiferromagnetically coupled to each other with an antiparallel coupling film interposed therebetween, a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a soft magnetic free layer. The first ferromagnetic film and the second ferromagnetic film have substantially equal Curie temperatures and have magnetization magnitudes with a substantially zero difference therebetween. The ferromagnetic pinned layers in the three magnetoresistive elements have a same magnetization direction, and the ferromagnetic pinned layer in the remaining one magnetoresistive element has a magnetization direction differing by 180° from the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic pinned layers in the three magnetoresistive elements.
