Magnetic transducer with integrated charge bleed resistor

   
   

A magnetoresistive transducer includes a substrate and a magnetoresistive assembly. At least one bleed resistor couples the magnetoresistive assembly to the substrate. The bleed resistor has a relative large electrical resistance and provides a discharge path for accumulated charge. The arrangement effectively prevents electrostatic discharge damage to the sensor.

Um transdutor magnetoresistive inclui uma carcaça e um conjunto magnetoresistive. Ao menos um resistor bleed acopla o conjunto magnetoresistive à carcaça. O resistor bleed tem uma resistência elétrica grande relativa e fornece um trajeto da descarga para a carga acumulada. O arranjo impede eficazmente os danos eletrostáticos da descarga ao sensor.
