Field compensation current can be applied to the AMR sensors adaptively to cancel the slowly varying environmental magnetic field offset so that the residual dynamics fall in the linear and most sensitive range of the sensors that can be measured with high resolution and precision through out a wide range of total field strength. Fast data over-sampling by sigma-delta algorithm can be applied to filter random variations so as to improve the precision to measure smooth signals. Therefore, S/H is used to block the pulses of the SET/RESET on the AMR from its signal to data sampling. The driving current to its sensing bridge should also be reversed from the set phase to the reset phase to avoid signal jump due to sign change of the differential signal. The blocking by S/H and the synchronous direction change of the sensor driving current reduces the signal jitter to lower than 2uV which is a precision improvement down to 15bits of the data sampling. After calibration the improved AMR yields a measurement with the precision of 20nTesla. The current compensation in the HMC1001/1002 sensors may compensate persistent magnetic background upto ±1Gauss.
