A multichannel magnetic field sensor including a plurality of magnetic field sensing elements includes a multiplexed signal path. A front end amplifier is coupled to receive a first magnetic field signal during a first time interval and a second magnetic field signal during a second time interval. A first low pass filter processes the amplified signal during the first time interval and a second low pass filter processes the amplified signal during the second time interval. A sinc filter is coupled to receive the first low pass filtered signal during the first time interval and the second low pass filtered signal during the second time interval. A Schmitt trigger circuit includes a comparator to process the sinc filter output signal and to generate a first comparator output signal during the first time interval and a second comparator output signal is provided during the second time interval.
