  • Magnetic field sensor
    Patent number: 8884610
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor assembly for measuring an angular direction of a sensed magnetic field relative to the assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor of a first type configured to sense an orientation of the sensed magnetic field, a sensor of a second type configured to measure an orientation and a direction of the sensed magnetic field and processing circuitry connected to each of the magnetic field sensors. The processing circuitry being configured to process output signals from the sensor of the first type to determine an uncorrected sensed magnetic field angle and to apply an offset angle to the uncorrected magnetic field angle dependent on a logical combination of signs of output signals from the sensors of the first and second types.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2014
    Assignee: NXP B.V.
    Inventors: Robert Hendrikus Margaretha Van Veldhoven, Jacobus Josephus Maria Ruigrok, Joerg Stegelmann

  • Magnetic field sensor
    Patent number: 8547087
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor assembly (401a, 401b) for measuring an angular direction (?) of a sensed magnetic field (Happl) relative to the assembly, the sensor assembly comprising: a sensor (404a, 404b) of a first type configured to sense an orientation of the sensed magnetic field; a sensor (402, 406) of a second type configured to measure an orientation and a direction of the sensed magnetic field; and processing circuitry (403, 405) connected to each of the magnetic field sensors, the processing circuitry being configured to process output signals from the sensor of the first type to determine an uncorrected sensed magnetic field angle and to apply an offset angle to the uncorrected magnetic field angle dependent on a logical combination of signs of output signals from the sensors of the first and second types.
