A magnetic field sensor includes a plurality of magnetic field sensing elements operable to generate magnetic field signals indicative of a magnetic field associated with an object, a plurality of channels coupled to receive the magnetic field signals and configured to generate a respective plurality of phase separated channel signals, and an output circuit coupled to receive the plurality of phase separated channel signals and configured to generate a sensor output signal including distinguishable pulses associated with the plurality of phase separated channel signals. The sensor output signal may include a first plurality of pulses associated with a first one of the phase separated channel signals and having a first characteristic and a second plurality of pulses associated with a second one of the phase separated channel signals and having a second characteristic different than the first characteristic, such as different signals levels and/or different pulse widths.
