A very low power quadrature position sensing system that includes a first sensor, which defines a starting point of a first channel. First sensor is coupled to a first square wave generator. A second sensor, in quadrature with first sensor, defining a starting point of a second channel, with second sensor coupled to a second square wave generator. The system further includes a moving member having a magnetized surface with a magnetic distribution disposed on the magnetized surface. The magnetized surface is sensed by the first sensor, and the second sensor during movement by the moving member, the first sensor generates a high signal forming a rising edge of a square wave generated by the first square wave generator and the first sensor generates a low signal forming a falling edge of a square wave generated by the first square wave generator, and during movement of the moving member, the second sensor generates a high signal forming a rising edge of a square wave generated by the second square wave generator and the second sensor generates a low signal forming a falling edge of the square wave generated by the second square wave generator. A method for very low power quadrature position sensing includes the determination of a first set of sensed signals using a first sensor and the determination of a second set of sensed signals using a second sensor. The method includes the derivation of a first sequence of square waves from the first set of sensed signals. The method further includes the derivation of a second sequence of square waves from the second set of sensed signals that are in quadrature with the first sequence of square waves. The method also includes the generation of a redundancy sequence signal using a redundancy circuit that comprises a switch.
