Abstract: A magnetoresistive sensor system includes a plurality of chip carriers, such that each integrated circuit among the plurality of chip carriers is associated with a respective magnetoresistive sensing components. A plurality of magnetoresistive sensing components can be arranged in an array, wherein each magnetoresistive component among the plurality of magnetoresistive components is associated with a respective integrated circuit among the plurality of chip carriers and wherein the plurality of magnetoresistive sensing components comprises sensing components that are spaced irregular from one another in order to optimize the performance of the array and meet requirements of a particular magnetoresistive sensing application.

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.
