Abstract :
An electronically adjusting concept of a magnetic field sensor is presented on the basis of a new digital MAGFET cell array. Specially designed self calibrating basic cells detecting magnetic fields within an extremely small area in the sub-square-micron range are described. Cell arrays working in parallel mode will allow the adaptive recovering and reading of very small magnetic tracks defining the basic structure of future digital video heads
