A MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR AND METHOD OF FABRICATING A MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR HAVING A PLURALITY OF VERTICAL HALL ELEMENTS ARRANGED IN AT LEAST A PORTION OF A POLYGONAL SHAPE

摘要

A magnetic field sensor has a plurality of vertical Hall elements arranged in at least a portion of a polygonal shape. The magnetic field sensor includes an electronic circuit to process signals generated by the plurality of vertical Hall elements to identify a direction of a magnetic field. A corresponding method of fabricating the magnetic field sensor is also described.
