Abstract
A device comprises a magnetoresistive sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an angular position of a magnetic field, the signal having an angular range of 180 degrees, and a differential Hall sensor pair comprising a first Hall sensor and a second Hall sensor. The differential Hall sensor pair is configured to generate a signal indicative of a polarity of the magnetic field. A second differential Hall sensor pair can also be used. The second differential Hall sensor pair is configured to generate a signal indicative of a polarity of the magnetic field.
