Abstract: An apparatus is arranged for sensing a position of a target, in particular for offset invariant sensing of the position of the target is described, as well as the respective target and the method. The apparatus comprises at least two sensor elements. At least one sensor element of the at least two sensor elements generates a magnetic field. At least one other sensor element of the at least two sensor elements receives the magnetic field and outputs at least one signal associated with the received magnetic field. The target affects a coupling of a magnetic flux of the magnetic field between the at least one sensor element generating the magnetic field and the at least one other sensor element receiving the magnetic field and wherein the target is non-rotational invariant.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided that includes an output stage circuit. The output stage circuit includes an input node for receiving a digital input signal, a supply voltage node for receiving a supply voltage signal, a digital to analog convertor for converting the digital signal, an amplifier for amplifying the converted signal, a first/second and optionally third voltage regulator generating a first/second and optionally third voltage signal, and a greatest-voltage selector circuit for providing power to the amplifier. Two different voltages are provided to the DAC. The output signal can be a SENT signal. The circuit is highly robust against power-interruptions and EMI.
