Abstract: An integrated circuit package and method of fabrication are described. The integrated circuit package includes a lead frame having a first surface and a second opposing surface and a semiconductor die having a first, active surface in which circuitry is disposed and a second opposing surface attached to the first surface of the lead frame. A magnet attached to the second surface of the lead frame has a non-contiguous central region and at least one channel extending laterally from the central region. An overmold material forms an enclosure surrounding the magnet, semiconductor die, and a portion of the lead frame.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor has first and second rows of magnetic field sensing elements coupled to an electronic circuit. A magnet can be disposed under or over the magnetic field sensor. The magnetic field sensor is operable to use the first and second rows of magnetic field sensing elements and the electronic circuit to detect a relative rotation angle between the magnet and the first and second rows of magnetic field sensing elements.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor includes a substrate first and second magnetic field sensing elements, comprising first and second magnetoresistance elements, respectively. The first and second magnetic field sensing elements are responsive to the magnet. At or more positions of the magnet relative to the first and second magnetic field sensing elements while the magnet is stopped moving, at least one of the first magnetic field sensing element or the second magnetic field sensing element is in saturation in response to the magnet. The magnetic field sensor also includes a third magnetic field sensing element proximate to the first and second magnetoresistance elements, the third magnetic field sensing element operable to generate a third magnetic field sensing element signal responsive to the magnet, wherein, at the one or more positions while the magnet is stopped moving, the third magnetic field sensing element is not in saturation in response to the magnet or saturates at a higher magnetic field than the first and second magnetic field sensing elements in response to the magnet.

Abstract: A method of determining an error condition in a magnetic field sensor can include receiving a first bridge signal, the first bridge signal generated by a first full bridge circuit. The method can also include receiving a second bridge signal, the second bridge signal generated by a second full bridge circuit. The method can also include determining a bridge separation from the first bridge signal and the second bridge signal. The method can also include comparing a function of the bridge separation to a threshold value. The method can also include generating an error signal indicative of the error condition or not indicative of the error condition in response to the comparing.
