    Abstract: A magnetic sensor may include a comparator to receive a first signal indicating a strength of a magnetic field sensed by a first sensing component of the magnetic sensor, receive a second signal indicating a strength of a magnetic field sensed by a second sensing component of the magnetic sensor, perform an error check associated with the first sensing component and the second sensing component, the error check being performed based on the first signal and the second signal, and provide an indication of a result of the error check. The magnetic sensor may include a protocol encoder to receive the first signal, receive the indication of the result of the error check, and provide an output that includes the indication of the result of the error check.

    Abstract: An absolute position measurement system includes a multipole magnet including alternating magnetic poles extending along a multipole extension direction, the multipole magnet has a linear changing configuration relative to a linear path and produces a magnetic field having a field strength that undergoes a sinusoidal change along the linear path due to the alternating magnetic poles and a linear change along the linear path according to the linear changing configuration relative to the linear path; and a magnetic sensor configured to move along the linear path. The magnetic sensor includes a first sensor element arrangement configured to generate a first sensor signal, a second sensor element arrangement configured to generate a second sensor signal that is phase shifted with respect to the first sensor signal, and a processing circuit configured to calculate an absolute position of the magnetic sensor based on the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal.
