Abstract
The present invention discloses a magnetic field sensing device that utilizes a single coil for calibrating the response of the sensor to compensate for temperature dependent sensitivity drift and also for resetting the magnetic field sensor in order to eliminate hysteresis. The single coil configuration is advantageous since it reduces the size of the sensor chip by decreasing the number of contact pads on the chip and also because it wastes less space, which permits an increase in the density of the magnetoresistive elements on the sensor chip.
