Abstract
An integrated circuit includes two first adjacent magneto-resistive effect (xMR) structures. Each first xMR structure is configured to sense a first magnetic field direction. The integrated circuit includes two second adjacent xMR structures at a distance from the two first xMR structures. Each second xMR structure is configured to sense a second magnetic field direction. The two first xMR structures and the two second xMR structures are configured for in-plane magnetic field components perpendicular to the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field and phase shifted by approximately 90° from the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field acting on the two first xMR structures and the two second xMR structures.
