Abstract
A position detection system and method for linear and rotary sensing applications are disclosed herein, including a plurality of magnetoresistive sensing components for linear and rotary detection sensing, and an integrated circuit for amplifying and calibrating signals generated by the magnetoresistive sensing components in order to provide a full digital calibration and a ratio-metric output voltage or digital output signal indicative of linear and rotary position data.
