Abstract
An integrated semiconductor device for measuring a magnetic field, comprising: a Hall sensor, a first lateral isotropic sensor having a first stress sensitivity and a first temperature sensitivity, a second lateral isotropic sensor having a second stress sensitivity and a second temperature sensitivity, optional amplifying means, digitization means; and calculation means configured for calculating a stress and temperature compensated Hall value in the digital domain, based on a predefined formula which can be expressed as an n-th order polynomial in only two parameters. These parameters may be obtained directly from the sensor elements, or they may be calculated from a set of two simultaneous equations. A method of obtaining a Hall voltage signal, and compensating said signal for stress and temperature drift.
