Claim 16:
17. The angle sensor of claim 10, wherein the safety path, to perform the safety check, is configured to:
determine that the first range of angles includes 45 degrees or 135 degrees; and
determine whether a difference between an absolute value of the first x-component value and an absolute value of the first y-component value satisfies a threshold,
wherein the indication of the result includes an indication of a positive result of performing the safety check when difference of the absolute value of the first x-component value and the absolute value of the first y-component value satisfies the threshold; and

wherein the safety path, to determine the threshold, is configured to:
divide the absolute value of the first x-component value by a value;
divide the absolute value of the first y-component value by the value; or
divide a sum of the absolute value of the first x-component value and the absolute value of the first y-component value by a multiple of the value.
