Claim 0:
1. A Hall effect sensor system, the system comprising:
a Hall effect sensor, implemented as a current-carrying conductive plate, including an input port operably coupled to receive a DC input current signal; and
a drive-sense circuit (DSC) operably coupled to a first location on a top of the current-carrying conductive plate of the Hall effect sensor via a first single line and also operably coupled to a receive a reference signal from a second location on a bottom of the current-carrying conductive plate of the Hall effect sensor, wherein, when enabled, the DSC configured to:
provide a drive signal via the single line that operably couples the DSC to the first location on the top of the current-carrying conductive plate of the Hall effect sensor and simultaneously to sense the drive signal via the single line;
detect an effect on the drive signal based on exposure of the Hall effect sensor to a magnetic field; and
generate a digital signal representative of the effect on the drive signal.
