Abstract

Provided is a magnetic sensor device including: a switching circuit that controls switching of a terminal pair of the magnetoelectric conversion element to which a supply voltage is applied and a terminal pair to which detection voltage of a magnetic intensity is output; a differential amplifier that differentially amplifies the detection voltage; a first capacitor connected to a first output terminal of the differential amplifier; a second switch connected to a second output terminal of the differential amplifier; a comparator that has a first input terminal connected to the first capacitor and a second input terminal connected to the second switch; a first switch connected between the first input terminal and an output terminal of the comparator; and a second capacitor connected to the second input terminal of the comparator; and a detection voltage setting circuit connected to the second capacitor, in which effects of respective offset voltages of the magnetoelectric conversion element, the amplifier, and the comparator are suppressed, and an arbitrary detection magnetic field intensity is set to enable accurate magnetic reading.
