Description
Summary:Tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) sensors have broad application prospects because of their high sensitivity and small volume. However, the inherent hysteresis characteristics of TMR affect its applications in high accuracy scenarios. It is essential to build a model to describe the attributes of hysteresis of TMR accurately. Preisach model is one of the popular models to describe the behavior of inherent hysteresis for TMR, whereas it presents low accuracy in high-order hysteresis reversal curves. Furthermore, the traditional Preisach model has strict congruence constraints, and the amount of data seriously affects the accuracy. This paper proposes a hysteresis model from a probability perspective. This model has the same computational complexity as the classic Preisach model while presenting higher accuracy, especially in high-order hysteresis reversal curves. When measuring a small amount of data, the error of this method is significantly reduced compared with the classical Preisach model. Besides, the proposed model’s congruence in this paper only needs equal vertical chords.
