Abstract
A Hall-effect sensor apparatus, system and method. In general, a substrate having a surface can be provided. A plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements can then be configured upon the substrate, such that the centerline of a sensing plane associated with the plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements is located towards the surface of substrate, which results in a reduction of the distance between the centerline of the plane of the plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements and an axis of rotation of an associated bias magnet, thereby optimizing the location of the plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements and minimizing sensitivity to misposition and an increase in sensing accuracy.
