Abstract
A position sensor includes a magnet and a sensor element that are movable relative to one another. The sensor element is capable of providing an output in response to a position of the magnet relative to the sensor element. Relative position sensing between the sensor element, such as a Hall Effect sensor, and the magnet may be determined by way of circuitry for detection of an approximate inflection point in the output of the sensor.
