Abstract:
A magnetic sensor device for determining a rotation direction of a magnetic component about a rotation axis is provided. The magnetic sensor device includes a bridge circuit with a first half-bridge and a second half-bridge. Each of the first half-bridge and the second half-bridge comprises at least one magnetoresistive structure. Further, the magnetic sensor device includes an evaluation circuit configured to determine the rotation direction of the magnetic component based on a phase difference between an output signal of the first half-bridge and an output signal of the second half-bridge.
Abstract:
A monitoring unit (100; 800) for monitoring an integrity of a signal path (200; 620) configured to receive an input signal (210, 802) and further configured to provide an output (220) in response to the input signal (210, 802), comprises a signal monitor (110; 801) configured to extract a first signal (112; 630) from the signal path (200; 620) corresponding to the input signal (210, 802) in at least a first characteristic. The monitoring unit (100; 800) further comprises a signal interface (120; 803) configured to extract a second signal (122; 631) corresponding to the output (220) in at least a second characteristic from the signal path (200; 620); and an evaluator (130) configured to determine, whether the at least first characteristic of the first signal (112; 630) corresponds to the at least second characteristic of the second signal (122; 631) according to a predefined relation.
Abstract:
An omnipolar magnetic sensor system includes an input stage and a behavior component. The input stage is configured to receive a source signal and to selectively chop the source signal. Further, the input stage is configured to balance the source signal using behavior parameters and generate a balanced source signal.
