Abstract

A sensor arrangement comprises at least a first magnetic-field sensor (SM1) and a second magnetic-field sensor (SM2). A signal-processing unit (PROC) is set up to determine a minimum signal (MIN) and a maximum signal (MAX) of the first or second magnetic-field sensor (SM1, SM2) in the full scale range (FSR) of the sensor arrangement The first or second magnetic-field sensor (SM1, SM2) can be selected by means of a selection means (MOV) depending on the minimum and maximum signal (MIN, MAX).
