Abstract
A method for use in a magnetic field sensor, including: in each of a plurality of calibration periods, generating a reference magnetic field based on a different one of a plurality of drive codes; storing, in a memory, a plurality of values of a reference magnetic field signal that is generated in response to the reference magnetic field, each of the values of the reference magnetic field signal being generated by sampling the reference magnetic field signal in a different one of the plurality of calibration periods; calculating a calibration gain coefficient based on the plurality of values of the reference magnetic field signal; and storing the calibration gain coefficient in the memory and using the calibration gain coefficient to adjust an output of the magnetic field sensor.
