Abstract
A system includes a magnetic field sensor arrangement and a controller. The magnetic field sensor arrangement includes a first sensor chip having an integrated circuit differential magnetic field sensor circuit configured to generate a first output signal comprising first signal pulses, a second sensor chip having an integrated second differential magnetic field sensor circuit configured to generate a second output signal comprising second signal pulses, and at least one output signal terminal configured to output the first and the second output signals. The controller receives the first and the second signal pulses from the at least one output signal terminal, evaluates the first and the second signal pulses, and detects an error of an operation of the magnetic field sensor arrangement in response to the first and the second signal pulses not satisfying an expected output pattern of the first and the second signal pulses.
