Descriptive summary

The well-tried and trusted KMI1xx technology provides high robustness against large magnetic fields and high temperatures, and is very stable over temperature and life time. A choice of 3 different back-biasing magnets covers sensing of active or passive targets. Devices in the KMI15 and KMI20 families have a current output using two-wire technology, while those in the KMI16 and KMI18 families feature an open collector output, with three-wire technology.
