Abstract :
A novel match technique is proposed to overcome the dilemma of achieving electric match and maximum magnetic sensitivity in the cross-coupled CMOS magnetic field-effect transistor pair. A relative increment of 18.8% in the absolute sensitivity has been achieved under the new match technique for a commercial 1.5 μm CMOS process
