Abstract
Method and apparatus for a magnetic sensor device having a magnetic field sensing element to generate an output signal and a signal processing module coupled to the magnetic field sensing element, the signal processing module including a linearization module to apply a third order Taylor expansion term to the output signal generated by the magnetic field sensing element. An output module can receive the linearized signal from the linearization module and provide a device output signal.
