    Abstract: A vertical Hall sensor circuit comprises an arrangement comprising a vertical Hall effect region of a first doping type, formed within a semiconductor substrate and having a stress dependency with respect to a Hall effect-related electrical characteristic. The vertical Hall sensor circuit further comprises a stress compensation circuit which comprises at least one of a lateral resistor arrangement and a vertical resistor arrangement. The lateral resistor arrangement has a first resistive element and a second resistive element, which are parallel to a surface of the semiconductor substrate and orthogonal to each other, for generating a stress-dependent lateral resistor arrangement signal on the basis of a reference signal inputted to the stress compensation circuit. The vertical resistor arrangement has a third resistive element of the first doping type for vertically conducting an electric current flow, for generating a stress-dependent vertical resistor arrangement signal on the basis of the reference signal. The vertical Hall sensor circuit further comprises a first circuit for providing a first signal to the arrangement, the first signal being based on at least one of the stress-dependent lateral resistor arrangement signal and the stress-dependent vertical resistor arrangement signal.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a magnetic sensor circuit having a magnetic field sensor device configured to generate a digital signal proportional to an applied magnetic field. An analog-to-digital converter converts the analog signal to a digital signal that is provided to a digital signal processing unit, which is configured to digitally track the analog output signal. The digital tracking unit comprises a delay removal circuitry configured to generate a plurality of digital signal component corresponding to a chopping phase. A non-delayed offset compensated digital output signal may be generated within the chopping phase by mathematically operating upon (e.g., adding or subtracting) the plurality of digital signal components, generated by the delay removal circuitry.

    Abstract: A device may determine a sensor identifier corresponding to a sensor integrated circuit (IC) associated with a sensor system. The device may provide the sensor identifier corresponding to the sensor IC. The device may receive, based on providing the sensor identifier, compensation parameter information associated with the sensor IC. The device may cause a set of compensation parameters, associated with the compensation parameter information, to be stored on a controller associated with the sensor system. The set of compensation parameters may include one or more parameters associated with correcting a measurement performed by the sensor IC or a safety result provided by the sensor IC.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor circuit arrangement comprising a Hall sensor circuit integrated into a semiconductor substrate and configured to conduct a Hall supply current between a first terminal and a second terminal of a Hall effect region at an angle of 45° with respect to a normal to a primary flat plane of the semiconductor substrate laterally through the Hall effect region, wherein the Hall supply current has a first dependence on a mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate. A resistance arrangement integrated into the semiconductor substrate, the resistance arrangement being different than the Hall effect region, is configured to conduct a current between a first terminal and a second terminal of the resistance arrangement, wherein the current through the resistance arrangement has a second dependence on the mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate. A compensation circuit is configured to correct, on the basis of a signal difference between the first terminal of the Hall effect region and the first terminal of the resistance arrangement, a Hall voltage that is measured between a third and a fourth terminal of the Hall effect region and is dependent on the mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate.
