- the magnetic detection elements 4 are arranged at positions along the four sides 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d of the integrated circuit 3 when viewed from the normal direction of the wiring board 2. Thereby, the four magnetic detection elements 4 can be arranged compactly on the wiring board 2. As a result, the magnetic sensor device 1 including the four magnetic detection elements 4 can be easily downsized, and the detection accuracy can be effectively improved.
- the bonding wire 8 When viewed from the normal direction of the wiring board 2, the bonding wire 8 is arranged at a position that does not overlap the integrated circuit 3.

As a result, noise can be effectively reduced and highly accurate magnetic detection can be facilitated.
- relay pads 61 and 62 are arranged at a position farther from the integrated circuit 3 than the virtual straight line VL1 when viewed from the normal direction of the wiring board 2.

- the magnetic detection element 4 is an MI element, it is possible to further improve detection accuracy and further reduce the size of the device.
- the distance between the integrated circuit 3 and the plurality of magnetic detection elements 4 is short and approximately equidistant. Therefore, the signals obtained from the plurality of magnetic detection elements 4 ideally have the same value, except for individual variations in the magnetic detection elements 4.

MI素子4は、感磁体41にパルス電流を入力したときに、検出コイル42に生じる誘導起電力を検出することで、MI素子4の感磁方向に作用する磁場の強さを検出する。すなわち、感磁方向がX方向であるMI素子4aとMI素子4bは、X方向の磁場成分を検出し、感磁方向がY方向であるMI素子4cとMI素子4dは、Y方向の磁場成分を検出する。それゆえ、4つのMI素子4a、4b、4c、4dの検出信号を組み合わせることにより、X-Y平面に沿った磁場の方向、および、強さを検出することができる。
なお、上記MI素子4の感磁方向は、集積回路3により容易に切り替えることができる。
図10は、実施の形態2に係る磁気センサ装置の平面図である。本形態(図10)は、実施の形態1(図1)と比べて、中継パッド61、62を、配線基板2の四隅にそれぞれ4個ずつ形成した点が異なっている。以下、異なる点を中心に説明する。
その他、実施の形態1と同様の構成及び作用効果を有する。
図11は、実施の形態3に係る磁気センサ装置の平面図である。本形態(図11)は、実施の形態2(図10)と比べて、Y方向に感磁方向を有するMI素子4c、4dが搭載されていない点が異なっている。以下、異なる点を中心に説明する。
その他、実施の形態1と同様の構成及び作用効果を有する。
図12は、実施の形態4に係る磁気センサ装置1の平面図である。同図に示すように、本形態の磁気センサ装置1は、実施の形態3の磁気センサ装置1(図11)と比べて、MI素子4a、4bの長手方向の長さを小さくしている。以下、異なる点を中心に説明する。
その他、実施の形態1と同様の構成及び作用効果を有する。
図14は、実施の形態5に係る磁気センサ装置1の平面図である。本形態において、複数の磁気検出素子4と、集積回路3などは、配線基板2に形成される。複数の磁気検出素子4と、集積回路3とは、図1と図3で説明した通り、配線基板2にある中継パッド61、62と、接続配線12と、接続パッド22とを介して接続される。ここで、集積回路3の構成について詳細に説明をする。集積回路3の裏面はシリコン基板である。集積回路3の表面は配線基板2に接続するための各接続パッド上に形成されたはんだボール(後述する図17、図18における符号351参照)が配置されている。このような集積回路3の形態を配線基板2に接続するには、集積回路3を表裏反転させ、はんだボールを配線基板2に接着(フリップチップ実装)させる。すなわち、図14で示されている集積回路3は、図15で示されている集積回路3を裏向きにした状態を表している。
アライメントマーク341は、集積回路3の4つの角部付近に形成する。なお、アライメントマーク341は略L字形状としているが、特に形状は限定されるものではない。
アナログ回路部32には、上述した、パルス通電回路302と、サンプルホールド回路303と、AD変換回路304とが設けられ、さらに、増幅回路327と、複数のIO保護回路323と、複数のパッド322とが設けてある。
複数のパッド322は、アナログ回路部32の長手方向に沿って配列されている。図15、図16に示すように、複数のパッド322は、アナログ回路部32における、デジタル回路部331に隣接する側と反対側の端縁に沿って配置されている。すなわち、集積回路3の各辺31a、31b、31c、31dに沿う位置に複数のパッド322が配置されている。なお、図15、図16においては、複数のパッド322が一列に配列された状態を示したが、これに限られない。複数のパッド322を、例えば、千鳥配置するなど、辺31a、31b、31c、31dからの距離をずらして、複数のパッド322を配置することも可能である。
上述のように、複数のパッド322は、アナログ回路部32における一方の端縁に沿って配列されている。この複数のパッド322が隣接する端縁を、第1端縁32zという。複数のパッド322に対して、第1端縁32zと反対側に、隣接して、複数のIO保護回路323が配置されている。そして、複数のIO保護回路323に対して、複数のパッド322と反対側に隣接する位置に、配線領域324が形成されている。配線領域324は、複数のIO保護回路323の配列方向に長尺、すなわちアナログ回路部32の長手方向に長尺に形成されている。配線領域324に対して、複数のIO保護回路323と反対側に隣接する位置に、サンプルホールド回路303が配置されている。サンプルホールド回路303も、アナログ回路部32の長手方向に長尺に形成されている。ただし、サンプルホールド回路303は、配線領域324よりも、長手方向の長さが短い。サンプルホールド回路303に対して、配線領域324と反対側に隣接する位置に、増幅回路327が配置されている。さらに、増幅回路327に対して、サンプルホールド回路303に隣接する位置に、AD変換回路304が配置されている。増幅回路327及びAD変換回路304も、アナログ回路部32の長手方向に長尺な形状を有する。増幅回路327及びAD変換回路304の長手方向の長さは、サンプルホールド回路303の長手方向の長さと略同等である。また、サンプルホールド回路303、増幅回路327、及びAD変換回路304に対して、これらの長手方向の両側に隣接する位置に、それぞれパルス通電回路302が配置されている。
より具体的には、複数のパッド322のそれぞれは、例えば次のように接続されている。パッド322x及び322yは、MI素子4の感磁体41の両端にそれぞれ電気的に接続され、パッド322v及び322wは、MI素子4の検出コイル42の両端にそれぞれ電気的に接続される。パッド322a、322b、322c、322dは、電源もしくはグランドに電気的に接続される。
集積回路3の裏面には、複数のはんだボール351が一様に配置されている。図15、図16に示す集積回路3におけるパッド322、334は、図示を省略するが、配線基板2内の配線を介して、はんだボール351の一部と接続する。なお、一様に配置した複数のはんだボール351は、組立をする上で、はんだボールの形状と隙間を均一にするために、不要なダミーのはんだボール351も配置する。また、はんだボール351の材料は非磁性体が好ましいが磁性体でも構わない。
磁気検出素子4はワイヤボンディングで配線基板2に実装し、集積回路3ははんだボール351のある裏面を配線基板2に向けて、ボールボンディングで実装(フリップチップ実装)される。ワイヤボンディング(ボンディングワイヤ8)で実装された磁気検出素子4は配線基板2の中継パッド61,62(図3参照)と接続され、ボールボンディング(はんだボール351)で実装された集積回路3は配線基板2のチップ接続パッド22(図3参照)と接続される。磁気検出素子4と、集積回路3とは、配線基板2の配線層231で接続される。これにより、アナログ回路部32におけるパッド322及びデジタル回路部331におけるパッド334が、配線基板2に接続され、磁気検出素子4等、集積回路3の外部、或いは磁気センサ装置1の外部に接続可能となる。
なお、本形態の磁気センサ装置1の回路構成の一例は、後述する図20に示すものに準ずる。
特に、出力回路332を集積回路3の中央領域に配置することで、複数のアナログ回路部32のそれぞれとの物理的距離は等しくなり、出力回路332で発生する動作電流による熱ノイズ、電源やグラウンドの影響を、それぞれの磁気検出素子4に対しほぼ等しくできる。
その他、実施の形態2と同様の構成及び作用効果を有する。
図19は、実施の形態6に係る磁気センサ装置1の平面図である。本形態においては、実施の形態5(図15)からの変更点について詳細に説明する。
その他、実施の形態5と同様の構成及び作用効果を有する。
図21は、実施の形態7に係る磁気センサ装置1の平面図である。本形態では、図14からの変更点について詳細に説明をする。本形態は、実施の形態5(図14)と比べて、Y方向に感磁方向を有する磁気検出素子4c、4dが搭載されていない点が異なる。また、これに伴い、集積回路3におけるY方向に沿った2つの辺31c、31dに隣接する位置にアナログ回路部32を設けていない点も、実施の形態5とは異なる。
その他は実施の形態5と同様の構成及び効果を有する。
