  • Publication number: 20130057256
    Abstract: In determining an exciter conductor spacing of an exciter conductor of an exciter conductor structure from a sensor element of a calibratable magnetic field sensor, first and second electric currents are impressed into the first and second exciter conductors of the exciter conductor structure to generate first and second magnetic field components in the sensor element of the magnetic field sensor, and a quantity is determined depending on the first and second magnetic field components by means of the sensor element. Further, the exciter conductor spacing of the exciter conductor from the sensor element of the magnetic field sensor is established in dependence on an exciter conductor intermediate spacing between the first exciter conductor and the spaced-apart second exciter conductor and the quantities depending on the first and second magnetic field components.

  • Patent number: 8311760
    Abstract: An embodiment of a method for a determination, section after section, of a parameter-dependent correction value approximation course includes determining a first measurement signal value with a first parameter value associated with a sensor arrangement when the first parameter value fullfils a predetermined condition or a trigger condition is fulfilled, changing the first parameter value to obtain a second parameter value, determining a second signal value with the second parameter value and determining a second partial section of the correction value approximation course for a second parameter range based on a functional connection describing the second partial section, the first parameter value, the second parameter value, the first measurement signal value, the second measurement signal value and an initial correction value.

  • Publication number: 20120212216
    Abstract: Magnetic field sensor having a vertical Hall sensor element arranged in a semiconductor substrate, and an exciting conductor arrangement having at least one exciting conductor, the exciting conductor being arranged within an exciting conductor plane which is spaced apart, in parallel to the substrate surface, from the vertical Hall sensor element at a vertical distance h1 having a tolerance range ?h1 which is due to the manufacturing process, and which exciting conductor further has a lateral distance d1 as an offset from a center position which is located, in relation to the substrate surface, perpendicularly to the vertical Hall sensor element, and the lateral distance d1 being dimensioned such that a vertical calibration component B1x of a magnetic flux density B 1 created by the exciting conductor arrangement in the vertical Hall sensor element changes by less than 5% within the tolerance range ?h1 for the vertical distance h1.
