Abstract
A magnetic sensor device includes a first chip including a first magnetic sensor, a second chip including a second magnetic sensor and a third magnetic sensor, and a support having a reference plane. The first magnetic sensor includes at least one first magnetic detection element, and detects a first component of an external magnetic field. The second magnetic sensor includes at least one second magnetic detection element, and detects a second component of the external magnetic field. The third magnetic sensor includes at least one third magnetic detection element, and detects a third component of the external magnetic field. The first chip and the second chip are mounted on the reference plane.
