Abstract
Embodiments relate to integrated magnetic field sensor-controlled switch devices, such as transistors, current sources, and power switches, among others. In an embodiment, a magnetic switch and a load switch are integrated in a single integrated circuit device. In embodiments, the magnetic switch is configured to sense a dynamic change in magnetic field caused by movement of a magnet in at least one of a linear, three-dimensional, and rotational direction.
