    Abstract: The present disclosure relate to a sensor system having a low offset error. In some embodiments, the sensor system comprises a sensor configured to generate a sensor signal, which is provided to a main signal path having a first chopping correction circuit and a second chopping correction circuit. The first and second chopping correction circuit chop the sensor signal at first and second frequencies to reduce offset errors, but in doing so generate first and second chopping ripple errors. A first digital offset feedback loop generates a first compensation signal, which is fed back into the main signal path to mitigate the first chopping ripple error. A second digital offset feedback loop generates a second compensation signal, which is fed back into the main signal path to mitigate the second chopping ripple error.

    Abstract: The subject matter described herein relates to a semiconductor circuit arrangement with a semiconductor substrate with an integrated Hall sensor circuit. During a first clock phase PHspin1 a first electrical voltage signal ±VHallout(PHspin1) or ±VHallbias(PHspin1) can be generated in the Hall effect region that has a first dependency on a mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate. During a second clock phase PHspin2 a second electrical voltage signal ±VHallout(PHspin2) or ±VHallbias(PHspin2) can be generated in the Hall effect region that has a second dependency on a mechanical stress of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor circuit arrangement is designed to ascertain a specific mechanical stress component based on a combination of the first electrical voltage signal ±VHallout(PHspin1) or ±VHallbias(PHspin1) and of the second electrical voltage signal ±VHallout(PHspin2) or ±VHallbias(PHspin2).

    Abstract: An integrated circuit has an oscillator circuit having an on-chip oscillator, a digital phase locked loop and a sensor. A frequency of an output signal from the oscillator circuit is adjustable. The digital phase locked loop receives the output signal from the oscillator circuit at an input and a synchronization signal based on an output signal from an external precision oscillator in the form of a crystal oscillator or MEMS oscillator at an external interface and generates a control signal in order to synchronize the frequency of the oscillator circuit with the frequency of the external crystal oscillator. The sensor is designed to measure at least one environmental parameter, wherein the digital phase locked loop is designed to take into account the at least one measured environmental parameter when generating the control signal.

    Abstract: Magnetic field sensors and sensing methods are provided. A magnetic sensor includes at least one magnetic field sensor element configured to generate an analog input sensor signal in response to a magnetic field, an inverting amplifier configured to generate an analog output sensor signal having a gained value with respect to the analog input sensor signal, a programmable current divider disposed in a negative feedback path of the inverting amplifier such that the gained value is dependent on an effective feedback resistor value of the programmable current divider, and a digital controller configured to receive at least one measurement parameter, generate a codeword based on the at least one measurement parameter, and transmit the codeword to the programmable current divider for compensating the gained value. The effective feedback resistor value is adjusted based on the codeword received by the programmable current divider.

    Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein can comprises systems or methods that can improve over existing spinning current Hall sensor systems via at least one of interleaving spinning phases or sliding averaging/summing. One example embodiment can comprise a sensor system comprising M (a positive integer) spinning current Hall sensors, each of which has N (an integer greater than one) distinct spinning phases during which it can acquire sensor data, and a multiplexer that can select sensor data of the sensors according to a M×N spinning phase sensor sequence. The M×N distinct spinning phases of the sensor sequence can be interleaved, wherein the average in the time domain of the N spinning phases for each sensor is the same. For each of the M sensors, a sum and/or an average can be determined for one or more most recent representations of sensor data from that sensor.

    Abstract: A sensor including a sensing device and a processor. The sensing device can be configured to sense one or more environmental conditions, such as one or more magnetic fields, and generate a sensor signal based on the sensed environmental condition(s). The processor can be configured to determine a gain mode and/or a zero-point mode of the sensor. Based on the determined gain and/or zero-point modes and the sensor signal, the processor can generate an output signal. The processor can include a voltage generator configured to generate a ratiometric voltage and/or a regulated voltage based on a supply voltage of the sensor. The processor can receive an external voltage. The gain mode and/or the zero-point mode can be independently determined based on the ratiometric, regulated, or external voltages. The ratiometric or regulated voltage can be output as a second output to form a differential output.

    Abstract: The current disclosure relates to an angular sensor. The angular sensor includes a sensing module, a digital processor and an incremental interface. The sensing module is configured to generate a sensing signal containing measurements of rotation activities of a rotating physical entity. The digital processor is configured to process and store the sensing signal. The incremental interface is coupled to the digital processor and includes an incremental pulse generator and a status data encoder. The incremental pulse generator is configured to convert and transmit the sensing signal as incremental square pulses through a unidirectional signal line, which are processed to generate rotary angle and direction of the physical entity. The status data encoder is configured to convert and transmit the sensing signal as a reference pulse and a status signal through a bidirectional signal line, which can be to request an absolute angle position or other sensor data.
