Transient behavior
For the sine and cosine output pins, it is also recommended to use a buffer capacitor C
As the device itself has a high output impedance, given by the TMR resistors R
a low-pass filter together with the bridge resistivity.
2.1
Bandwidth of the TMR bridge
It has to be taken into account that the low pass filter limits the bandwidth of the sensor and increases step
response time.

The time constant for the bridge τ
A good approximation of the transient behavior in the analytical calculation can be achieved with R = 4kΩ and
C
= 1nF, so R in the analytical simulation is half of the resistivity of one TMR resistor R
b
This behavior is equal to a low-pass filter at the sensor output with R = R
