The microsystem contains two groups of vertical Hall sensors, mutually oriented at 90 ?, plete readout electronics. The spinning current method is used to extract the signals from the sensors. Projections onto two orthogonal axes of the external rotating ic ?eld give the rotation angle sine and cosine functions, respectively. From these two output signals, the rotation angle is extracted using the four quadrant inverse tangent function without discontinuity or dead angle over 360 ?. An angular accuracy of less than ± ?( ±%) at room temperature with only the Hall sensors’ residual pensation is obtained. Using gain mismatch and pensation, an outstanding accuracy of ± ?( ±%) is achieved. ?2004 Elsevier . All rights reserved. Keywords:
