Abstract
A method for dynamic noise reduction of magnetic field sensor signals of a magnetic field sensor circuit with a magnetic field sensor and a switching device, wherein the magnetic field sensor provides a sensor signal to a sensor output, and wherein the switching device comprises a signal comparator, a low pass filter and a multiplexer, and wherein the switching device comprises a signal input interconnected with the sensor signal output and a signal output, and wherein the signal comparator has a first input interconnected with the signal input and a second input interconnected with the low pass filter, and a control signal output interconnected with the multiplexer. In a first method step, the sensor signal is compared to the level of a signal of the low pass filter by means of the signal comparator, and the result is compared to a predetermined threshold value.
