Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a magnetic sensor half bridge circuit. The half bridge circuit comprises a bias source connected to a first leg and a second leg. The first leg comprises one or more first spin-orbit torque (SOT) structures connected in series, each first SOT structure comprising a first ferromagnetic (FM) layer disposed on a first SOT layer. The first SOT layer has a first end connected to ground and a second end connected to a first voltage sensor. The second leg comprises one or more second SOT structures connected in series, each second SOT structure comprising a second FM layer disposed on a second SOT layer. The second SOT layer has a first end connected to a second voltage sensor and a second end connected to a ground. The first voltage sensor is disposed adjacent to the second voltage sensor.
