Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 1 2 Hall sensors are the only CMOS devices capable of measuring DC magnetic fields and so they are used in a wide range of applications, such as in compasses and current sensors. In such applications, their Achilles heel is their offset, which is typically in the order of several (tens of) µT [1-3]. Conventionally, Hall sensors are biased by current sources and output voltages that are proportional to an external magnetic field. In this work, a dual arrangement is proposed, in which a Hall sensor is biased by a voltage source and outputs a current. In a standard 0.18µm CMOS process, a prototype Hall sensor with a low-offset readout circuit achieves an offset of 1.0µT(3σ) with a noise floor of 60nT/√Hz. Compared to the state-of-the-art [1], this represents a 3$ reduction in offset and a 5$ improvement in resolution. As shown in Fig. 27.2.1 (left), a typical CMOS Hall sensor consists of an n-well plate, which
