摘要:
A magnetic field sensor includes at least one coil (108) responsive to an AC coil drive signal; at least two spaced apart magnetic field sensing elements (104) responsive to a sensing element drive signal and positioned proximate to the at least one coil; and a circuit (112) coupled to the at least two magnetic field sensing elements to generate an output signal of the magnetic field sensor indicative of a difference between (i) a first distance between a conductive target (102) and a first of the at least two spaced apart magnetic field sensing elements (104); and (ii) a second distance between the conductive target and a second of the at least two magnetic field sensing elements (104).
摘要:
A magnetic field sensor and an associated method use one or more magnetoresistance elements driven with an AC mixing current and experiencing an AC mixing magnetic field to generate a DC voltage signal or a DC voltage signal component related to a slope of a transfer curve of the one or more magnetoresistance elements.
