A magnetic sensor, system and method include a magnet located proximate to a target comprising a plurality of teeth and a plurality of slots formed therebetween. An integrated circuit is located on a side of the magnet wherein the integrated circuit comprises a plurality of magnetoresistive bridge components. The integrated circuit and the magnet are configured into a sensor package, such that the magnetoresistive bridge components enable the detection of a target tooth when one half of the plurality of magnetoresistive bridge components come into proximity with an edge of a tooth before that of another half of the magnetoresistive bridge components as the tooth and an associated slot thereof pass by the sensor package.
