  • Patent number: 7112962
    Abstract: A magnetic sensing method and system include a die comprising a central location thereof. A group of magnetoresistive bridge circuits are located and configured upon the die. A magnetic biasing component is then utilized to bias the plurality of magnetoresistive bridge circuits with a magnetic field rotating about an axis of the central location of the die in order to generate a plurality of bridge output signals thereof. Finally, the plurality of bridge output signals are processed in order to determine position data thereof.

  • Patent number: 7030604
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed in which the errors caused by thermal expansion in magnetoresistive position transducers are reduced by predicting the physical alterations over temperature between centerline-to-centerline distances of particular magnetoresistive sensors or components within a magnetoresistive array and also between such an array and a magnet being sensed caused by thermal expansion.
