Abstract
A method of determining an orientation of a magnet which is pivotable about a reference position having a predefined position relative to a silicon substrate, includes: providing a silicon substrate; determining a first/second magnetic field gradient along a first/second direction; determining a first/second angle based on said first/second magnetic field gradient and a first/second correction value. A sensor device configured for performing this method. A sensor system includes such sensor device and a magnet, optionally connected to a joystick.
