Abstract :
A fully integrated analog front-end for Hall sensors continuously calibrates the gain of the sensor and amplifier circuitry without interfering with normal operation. An integrated coil generates a modulated reference magnetic field measured by the sensor and combined with the external field. A better than 50ppm/°C gain drift is achieved.
