A sensor circuit includes a first bridge circuit, which includes a plurality of first magneto-resistors having a first reference magnetization along a first directional axis, and an output for a first output signal in response to an external magnetic field. The sensor circuit also includes a second bridge circuit which includes a plurality of second magneto-resistors having a second reference magnetization along a second directional axis, and an output for a second output signal in response to the external magnetic field. The sensor circuit also includes a sensor configured to measure a physical quantity indicative of a reference magnetization rotation of the first and second magneto-resistors. The sensor circuit also includes processing circuitry configured to determine a compensated output signal based on the first output signal, the second output signal, and the physical quantity indicative of the reference magnetization rotation.
