Abstract
A magnetic field sensor includes a first magnetic field sensing element configured to generate a first magnetic field signal indicative of a magnetic field associated with a target, a second magnetic field sensing element spaced from the first magnetic field sensing element and configured to generate a second magnetic field signal indicative of the magnetic field associated with the target. A switching module coupled to receive the first and second magnetic field signals is configured to generate a combined signal having alternating portions associated with the first and second magnetic field signals. A polarity module coupled to receive the combined signal is configured to invert a polarity of portions of the combined signal associated with one of the first magnetic field signal or the second magnetic field signal to generate an inverted polarity signal and a filter coupled to receive the inverted polarity signal is configured to generate an integrated signal corresponding to a difference of the first and second magnetic field signals.
