In order to reduce the inter-path capacitance of an inductor, an integrated circuit inductor design is provided in which the path crossings are designed such that the voltage differences between the adjacent paths in the loops are (in total) minimized.

Integrated circuit inductors

A magnetic field sensor system for measuring rotational movements of a shaft is disclosed. The sensor system includes a biasing magnet configured for generating a biasing magnetic field and a magnetic wheel having a wheel axis and a circumferential surface which comprises a regular structure of teeth and gaps arranged in an alternating manner. The magnetic wheel is attachable to the shaft and is magnetizable by the biasing magnetic field. A magnetoresistive sensor arrangement comprising four magnetoresistive sensor elements being connected with each other in a Wheatstone bridge, respectively two of the magnetoresistive sensor elements being assigned to one half bridge of the Wheatstone bridge. The four magnetoresistive sensor elements are arranged within an x-y plane.
