SAFETY MECHANISM FOR ANGLE SENSORS USING SEGMENTATION
In some implementations, an angle sensor may receive a first x-component value and a first y-component value from a first set sensing elements and a second x-component value and a second y-component value from a second set of angle sensing elements. The angle sensor may perform a safety check including determining a first range of angles associated with a target object based on a relationship between a magnitude of the first x-component value and a magnitude of the first y-component value; determining a second range of angles associated with the target object based on a relationship between a magnitude of the second x-component value and a magnitude of the second y-component value; and determining whether the second range of angles is a subset of the first range of angles. The angle sensor may output an indication of a result of the safety check.

ANGLE SENSOR
Methods and apparatus for prosing a sensor IC package having first and second sets of magnetic field sensing elements and a third set of magnetic field sensing elements located between the first and second positions, wherein the first, second, and third sets of magnetic field sensing elements have a first axis of sensitivity and a second axis of sensitivity, wherein the first and second axes of sensitivity are orthogonal. The sensor IC package is positioned in relation to a target comprising a two-pole magnet and the first and second axes of sensitivity are perpendicular to an axis about which the target rotates. Differential signals are processed to determine an absolute position of the target. A first secondary angle position is generated from the first and third sets of magnetic field sensing elements.
Univariate anomaly detection in a sensor network
Embodiments determine anomalies in sensor data generated by a sensor by receiving an evaluation time window of clean sensor data generated by the sensor. Embodiments receive a threshold value for determining anomalies. When the clean sensor data has a cyclic pattern, embodiments divide the evaluation time window into a plurality of segments of equal length, wherein each equal length comprises the cyclic pattern. When the clean sensor data does not have the cyclic pattern, embodiments divide the evaluation time window into a pre-defined number of plurality of segments of equal length. Embodiments convert the evaluation time window and each of the plurality of segments into corresponding curves using Kernel Density Estimation (“KDE”). For each of the plurality of segments, embodiments determine a Kullback-Leibler (“KL”) divergence value between corresponding curves of the segment and the evaluation time window to generate a plurality of KL divergence values.

HIGH-VOLTAGE, BIDIRECTIONAL PROTECTION CIRCUITS AND METHODS
Systems and methods herein use a sensing circuit to detect an overvoltage at a voltage node as a drain current. A current-mode comparator converts the detected current into a control signal, which is provided to a control circuit. The control circuit uses the control signal cut of a bias current to turn off switches in a protection circuit to create a high-impedance electrical path between the voltage node and the to-be-protected voltage node.
