Magnetic position detecting apparatus having a plurality of magnetic resistance circuits arranged in a comblike shape

摘要

A magnetic position detecting apparatus of the present invention includes a first magnetic resistance circuit and a second magnetic resistance circuit each having multiple magnetic resistance elements arranged to be opposite to a magnetized surface, wherein the first and the second magnetic resistance circuits are arranged in such a way that the resistance elements of the first and the second magnetic resistance circuits are connected to one another in series and arranged in a comblike shape to be parallel to one another along a current path of each magnetic resistance element, the magnetic resistance elements of the second magnetic resistance circuit are placed between the magnetic resistance elements of the first magnetic resistance circuit.
