摘要
A magnetic field sensor includes a circular vertical Hall (CVH) sensing element comprising a plurality of vertical Hall elements, each one of the plurality of vertical hall elements comprising respective first and second current receiving contacts. The magnetic field sensor additionally includes a sequence switches circuit coupled to the plurality of vertical Hall elements. The magnetic field sensor also includes a first current source sequentially coupled by the sequence switches circuit to the first current receiving contact of sequentially selected ones of the plurality of vertical Hall elements. The magnetic field sensor further includes a second current source sequentially coupled by the sequence switches circuit to the second current receiving contact of the sequentially selected ones of the plurality of vertical Hall elements. The first and second current sources can swap couplings in half-period intervals for each of a plurality of coupling arrangements. A corresponding method is also described.
