Abstract

The invention discloses a magnetic sensor device with low electric offset and high sensitivity, a method thereof, and a magnetic sensing system. The magnetic sensing system includes: a magnetic component proximate a movable mechanical component; and a magnetic sensor configured to determine a movement of the mechanical component based on a magnetic field produced by the magnetic component. The magnetic sensor includes: a low-offset magnetic sensing element; a high-sensitivity magnetic sensing element; and an offset compensation circuit configured to: determine a zero-crossing of a sensing field from an output of the low-offset magnetic sensing element; sample an offset value of the high-sensitivity magnetic sensing element at the zero-crossing; and subtract the offset value from an output of the high-sensitivity magnetic sensing element.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a magnetic sensor. Background technique [0002] Magnetic sensors used in conjunction with permanent magnets or other magnetic elements can be used to detect the position and velocity of mechanical elements. By connecting the magnetic element to the mechanical element or to a magnetic sensor arrangement proximate to the mechanical element, rotation or other movement of the mechanical element causes a change in the magnetic field produced by the magnetic element, which change can then be detected by the magnetic sensor. Analyzing the output of the sensor and knowing the mechanical structure of the mechanical element allows the determination of the frequency of the time-varying magnetic field at the location of the magnetic sensor and the velocity of the mechanical element. [0003] Anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors are commonly used as magnetic field sensors for such applications. AMR sensors typically have relatively...
