Abstract

A circuit includes an anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) sensor; an operational amplifier; and a calibration circuit. The AMR sensor has a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal. The operational amplifier has a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal. The first terminal of the operational amplifier is coupled to the second terminal of the AMR sensor. The second terminal of the operational amplifier is coupled to the third terminal of the AMR sensor. The calibration circuit is coupled to the first terminal of the operational amplifier. The calibration circuit is configured to provide an adjustable offset trim voltage at the first terminal of the operational amplifier to cancel out an offset voltage generated by the AMR sensor.
