Abstract
A sensor system for sensing movement of an object, including: a first sensor providing a first signal along a first signal path on a semiconductor chip, the first signal being used to determine a first characteristic of the movement; a second sensor providing a second signal along a second signal path on the semiconductor chip, the second signal being used to determine a second characteristic of the movement; and an alarm circuit configured to issue a fault warning when there is a violation of a predefined relationship between the first signal and the second signal based on a missing or additional portion of the first signal or the second signal.
