Abstract

A method and system for a device with a magnetic sensor includes a first permanent magnet and a second permanent magnet. The first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet of the magnetic sensor have at least one alternating ferromagnetic (FM) layer and antiferromagnetic (AFM) layer. The first permanent magnet is magnetized in a first direction and the second permanent magnet is magnetized in a second direction which is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The blocking temperature of the AFM layer of the first permanent magnet is higher than the blocking temperature of the AFM layer of the second permanent magnet.
