Abstract
A magnetic sensor includes a plurality of pairs of sensor elements, with each pair of sensor elements including two sensor elements that are oppositely disposed on a circumference of a circle arranged in a sensor plane of the magnetic sensor; and a sensor circuit configured to generate a first pulsed output signal based on a selected differential measurement signal that is indicative of a rotational speed of an object. The sensor circuit is configured to generate a plurality of differential measurement signals, one for each of the plurality of pairs of sensor elements, where each of the plurality of differential measurement signals is derived from sensor signals generated by a corresponding pair of sensor elements. The sensor circuit is further configured to select a differential measurement signal having a greatest magnitude from among the plurality of differential measurement signals as the selected differential measurement signal.
