    摘要: A method of calibrating a magnetic field sensor includes setting a first input signal at a first input node of a processor of the magnetic field sensor to a constant value. While the magnetic field sensor experiences a magnetic field, a first transition at an output node of the processor is measured. A second input signal at a second input node of the processor is set to the constant value. While the magnetic field sensor experiences the magnetic field, a second transition of at the output node of the processor is measured. An orthogonality error value is calculated based on a deviation of the first transition and the second transition. The first and/or second input signal is adjusted by modifying the first and/or second input signal by a function of the calculated orthogonality error value to compensate for the orthogonality error.
