Abstract

A magnetic field sensor includes one or more magnetic field sensing elements configured to generate a magnetic field signal responsive to a magnetic field and a detector coupled to receive an interpolated threshold and a signal representative of the magnetic field signal, wherein the detector is configured to compare the interpolated threshold with the signal representative of the magnetic field signal to generate a detector output signal. A memory is configured to store a first threshold value indicative of a threshold value at a first temperature and a second threshold value indicative of a threshold value at a second temperature lower than the first temperature and a threshold module coupled to the memory and configured to generate the interpolated threshold based on the stored first and second threshold values.
