<p>A sensor for determining the rotational speed of a rotating element. The sensor includes a giant magnetoresistive ratio sensing device which is magnetically coupled to the rotating element and includes an output terminal. The sensing device generates an output signal at the output terminal having a frequency corresponding to the rotational speed of the rotating element. A wave-shaping circuit is connected to the output terminal for receiving the output signal and for generating a digital switching signal having a frequency equal to the frequency of the output signal. A frequency divider has an input connected to the wave shaping circuit for receiving the digital switching signal. The frequency divider generates, in response to the digital switching signal, a square wave output having a 50% duty cycle and a frequency equal to the frequency of the digital switching signal divided by a predetermined divisor.</p> |
