Zusammenfassung: | A sensor die may include a set of sensing elements and a test structure associated with determining a magnetic sensitivity of the set of sensing elements. The test structure includes a first test sensing element sensitive in a direction in a plane defined by a surface of the sensor die, a second test sensing element sensitive in the direction in the plane defined by the surface of the sensor die, and a wire on chip (WoC) associated with applying a magnetic field to the first test sensing element and the second test sensing element. The first test sensing element, the second test sensing element, and the WoC may be arranged such that, when current flows through the WoC, the first test sensing element senses a component of the magnetic field in the direction, and the second test sensing element senses a component of the magnetic field in a perpendicular direction. |
