Abstract
A magnetic field sensor is disclosed for providing an output signal in response to an external magnetic field. The sensor comprises a primary magnetic field transducer for producing a primary signal in response to the external magnetic field and having a first magnetic field saturation characteristic; a secondary magnetic field transducer for producing a secondary signal in response to the external magnetic field and having a second magnetic field saturation characteristic. The first magnetic field saturation characteristic is different from the second magnetic field saturation characteristic. The sensor is configured to use the secondary signal to correct for errors in the output signal arising from saturation of the primary transducer.
