Zusammenfassung: | A magnetoresistive element input circuit includes a first resistor connected between a magnetoresistive (MR) element and a first power source. A first current source is connected between the MR element and a second power source and supplies a DC bias current to the MR element in an active mode. A second resistor is connected between the MR element and the first current source. A capacitor is connected to a node between the second resistor and the first current source and to the first power supply. A differential amplifier is connected to the MR element. A voltage supply circuit is connected to the node and supplies the node with a voltage, when the input circuit is in an inactive mode, which is substantially equal to the voltage supplied to the node when the input circuit is in the active mode. |
