A Hall sensor (HS) comprises at least four sensor terminals (EXT_A, EXT_B, EXT_C, EXT_D) for connecting the Hall sensor (HS) in at least two Hall sensing elements (11, 12, ..., 44) connected together, element terminals (A, B, C, D) of the Hall sensing elements (11, 12, ..., 44) are connected in between the sensor terminals (EXT_A, EXT_B, EXT_C, EXT_D) . Each of the Hall sensing elements (11, 12, ..., 44) is configured to provide an individual sensor value between two of its element terminals (A, B, C, D). At least two of the Hall sensing elements (11, 12, ..., 44) are connected such that a difference value is electrically formed between two of the sensor terminals (EXT_A, EXT_B, EXT_C, EXT_D) resulting from the respective individual sensor values.
