Claim Text:
1. A Hall sensor semiconductor component comprising: an arrangement composed of at least two Hall sensors each having four terminals; and a switching network, which is provided for interconnecting the terminals for phases of the operation of the Hall sensor semiconductor component in each case in such a way that in each case two of the four terminals of each of the Hall sensors are supply terminals for operating currents flowing within the Hall sensors and the other two terminals are in each case signal terminals for tapping off a Hall voltage, wherein this interconnection varies in successive phases, and wherein the switching network is embodied in such a way that it connects all the signal terminals in series in each of the phases, such that Hall voltages occurring in the Hall sensors are added and a summation signal can be measured at the respective outer signal terminals of the series circuit.
