Abstract

A magnetic sensor includes a sensor arrangement including a plurality of resistive elements electrically arranged in an asymmetrical bridge circuit, where the plurality of resistive elements include a plurality of magnetic field sensor elements and a plurality of non-magnetic sensitive resistive elements. Moreover, a first total resistance of a first pair of resistive elements is different from a second total resistance of a second pair of resistive elements. A first leg of the asymmetrical bridge circuit includes a first magnetic field sensor element and a first non-magnetic sensitive resistive element. A second leg of the asymmetrical bridge circuit includes a second magnetic field sensor element and a second non-magnetic sensitive resistive element. The asymmetrical bridge circuit is configured to generate a differential signal based on sensor signals generated by the plurality of magnetic field sensor elements in response to a magnetic field impinging thereon.
