An Integrated Magnetic Sensor with Two Continuous-Time /spl Delta//spl Sigma/-Converters and Stress Compensation Capability

A linear 4kHz Hall sensor in 0.6mum BiCMOS has digital 3rd-order temperature compensation, a DR of 90dB and an offset of 50muT. It uses a chopped 3rd-order multibit CT-DeltaSigma ADC including an up/down counter loop and bandgap-based compensation for stability and accuracy. Digital compensation of sensitivity drift caused by package-induced stress is provided
