Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A magnetic field sensor operates as a motion detector for sensing a movement of a ferromagnetic target object having features. The magnetic field sensor has a plurality of magnetoresistance elements to generate, in a first channel, a feature signal indicative of a proximity of a feature of a ferromagnetic target object and, in a second channel, an edge signal indicative of a proximity of an edge of a feature of a ferromagnetic target object.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A magnetic field sensor for sensing a movement of a ferromagnetic target object having ferromagnetic target object features with a target feature width, comprising: a substrate; a first full bridge circuit disposed upon the substrate and proximate to the ferromagnetic target object, comprising: a first magnetoresistance element; a second magnetoresistance element, the first and second magnetoresistance elements proximate to each other forming a first…
