    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for self-diagnostics and/or error detection using multiple signal paths in sensor and other systems. In an embodiment, a sensor system comprises at least two sensors, such as magnetic field sensors, and separate signal paths associated with each of the sensors. A first signal path can be coupled to a first sensor and a first digital signal processor (DSP), and a second signal path can be coupled to a second sensor and a second DSP. A signal from the first DSP can be compared with a signal from the second DSP, either on-chip or off, to detect faults, errors, or other information related to the operation of the sensor system. Embodiments of these systems and/or methods can be configured to meet or exceed relevant safety or other industry standards, such as safety integrity level (SIL) standards.

    Abstract translation: 实施例涉及在传感器和其他系统中使用多个信号路径的自诊断和/或错误检测的系统和方法。 在一个实施例中,传感器系统包括至少两个传感器,例如磁场传感器,以及与每个传感器相关联的单独的信号路径。 第一信号路径可以耦合到第一传感器和第一数字信号处理器(DSP),并且第二信号路径可以耦合到第二传感器和第二DSP。 可以将来自第一DSP的信号与来自第二DSP的信号进行片内或截止比较,以检测与传感器系统的操作相关的故障,错误或其他信息。 这些系统和/或方法的实施例可以被配置为满足或超过相关安全或其他行业标准,例如安全完整性等级(SIL)标准。
