Abstract
In one aspect, an angle sensor includes analog circuitry configured to generate an analog value having a tangent value, an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the analog value to a digital value and digital circuitry configured to receive the digital value. The analog circuitry includes a plurality of magnetoresistance elements that include a first magnetoresistance element configured to provide a cosine value indicative of a magnetic field along a first axis and a second magnetoresistance element configured to provide a sine value indicative of the magnetic field along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The tangent value is determined by the cosine and sine values. The digital circuitry includes an angle processor configured to use the digital value and a fixed value in an arctangent algorithm to generate an angle of a direction of the magnetic field.
