Embodiments relate to integrated sensor and magnetic concentrator devices and methods. In one embodiment, an integrated sensor and magnetic field concentrator device comprises a sensor device comprising at least two xMR sensor elements spaced apart from each other on a surface of a die to define a first gap of about 5 millimeters (mm) or less; and a magnetic field concentrator disposed in the first gap and configured to guide magnetic flux from an external source in a direction perpendicular to the at least two xMR sensor elements.
