Abstract

Magnetic field closed loop sensors including offset reduction circuitry to reduce undesired baseband components attributable to offset associated with magnetoresistance elements are described. A superimposed signal including a main signal portion indicative of a parameter of a target and an offset reduced signal portion is coupled to feedback circuitry. The feedback circuitry generates a feedback signal to drive a feedback coil. Main processing circuitry is operative to extract the main signal portion from the superimposed signal and produce a sensor output signal based on the main signal portion. Example offset reduction circuitry can take the form of AC coupling circuitry or a ripple reduction loop.
