Single chip push-pull bridge-type magnetic field sensor
The present invention discloses a design of a single-chip push-pull bridge sensor, composed of magnetoresistive elements, utilizing on-chip permanent magnets. The permanent magnets are oriented to preset magnetization directions of free layers of adjacent sensor bridge arms so that they point to different directions with respect the same sensing direction, enabling push-pull operation. The push-pull bridge sensor of the present invention is integrated on a single chip. Additionally, an on-chip coil is disclosed to reset or calibrate the magnetization directions of the free layers of the magnetoresistive elements.
