Abstract
A sensor for sensing an angular orientation of a magnet producing a magnetic field includes a sensing unit having N≧2 magnetic field sensing devices MFSD; a scanning circuit for repeatedly sequentially probing at least two of the MFSDs and concatenating signals outputted by the respective MFSDs for obtaining a magnetic signal; a magnet-signal output for outputting the magnetic signal; and a reference output for outputting a reference signal independent of the magnetic field. The sensor includes a first signal processing unit SPUand a second signal processing unit which are identically constructed, each having an input and an output; a phase detection unit PDU having a first input PDUand a second input PDU, for deriving phase differences between inputted signals, and for outputting a signal related to the angular orientation.
