Abstract: Embodiments relate to multi-contact sensor devices and operating methods thereof that can reduce or eliminate offset error. In embodiments, sensor devices can comprise three or more contacts, and multiple such sensor devices can be combined. The sensor devices can comprise Hall sensor devices, such as vertical Hall devices, or other sensor types in embodiments. Operating modes can be implemented for the multi-contact sensor devices which offer significant modifications of and improvements over conventional spinning current principles, including reduced residual offset.

Abstract translation: 实施例涉及可以减少或消除偏移误差的多接触传感器装置及其操作方法。 在实施例中，传感器装置可以包括三个或更多个触点，并且可以组合多个这样的传感器装置。 在实施例中，传感器装置可以包括霍尔传感器装置，例如垂直霍尔装置或其他传感器类型。 可以实现多接触传感器装置的操作模式，其提供对常规旋转电流原理的显着修改和改进，包括减少的残余偏移。

Abstract: An information storage circuit having a first memory portion configured to store a first validity bit and first data; a second memory portion configured to store a second validity bit and second data; and a subcircuit configured to: write the first data to the first memory portion and the second data to the second memory portion sequentially; and set the first and second validity bits to indicate which of the first data and second data is valid.
