Figure 4. 3D-Graph of Vertical Magnetic Field of a 6mm Cylindrical Magnet

As shown in Figure 5 (grey zone), the Hall elements are located on the chip at a circle with a radius of 1mm. Since the difference between two

opposite Hall sensors is measured, there will be no difference in signal amplitude when the magnet is perfectly centered or if the magnet is

misaligned in any direction as long as all Hall elements stay within the linear range.
