    摘要: Two bridge type transducers are coupled in series with their outputs each driving one of a pair of differential amplifiers, with the outputs tied together in a push-pull configuration. In further embodiments, push-pull operation is obtained by matching amplifier gain components and using current mirrors. Lower voltage operation may be achieved by simple diode level shifting of the transducer outputs. In one embodiment, the transducers comprise Hall effect sensors.

    摘要: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to Magneto-Resistive Sensing Devices (MRSDs). In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an MRSD comprises an underlying semiconductor device and a magneto-resistive sensor. In some exemplary embodiments, the semiconductor device is processed through most of a standard process flow. After the standard process flow, in various embodiments, a planarization step may be performed to create a more planar top surface. In some embodiments, the magneto-resistive material, which may be made from a Nickel-Iron alloy, called Permalloy, is deposited on the planar surface. A layer of interconnect metallization also may reside in this top region. The magneto-resistive material may contact the topmost layer of metallization of the semiconductor device via contact openings in the planarized surface. In some embodiments, the magneto-resistive material may similarly contact the topmost layer of metallization through these contact openings. The magneto-resistive material resides directly above the underlying circuitry.

    摘要: This disclosure is directed to techniques for decoding two or more signals that vary sinusoidally with respect to a parameter value to produce a decoded signal that varies linearly with respect to the parameter value. The techniques may include receiving a first signal and a second signal, the first signal varying with respect to a parameter value according to a first sinusoidal function having a period and a first phase, the second signal varying with respect to the parameter value according to a second sinusoidal function having the period and a second phase different from the first phase. The techniques may further include performing one or more arithmetic operations using the first signal, the second signal, and an offset value to generate a third signal that varies linearly with respect to the parameter value for at least one-half of the period of the first signal and the second signal.
