Current Sensor Having A Flux Concentrator For Redirecting A Magnetic Field Through Two Magnetic Field Sensing Elements
摘要:
A method can use a current sensor that can include a magnetic flux concentrator and a first magnetic field sensing element disposed proximate to the magnetic flux concentrator, the first magnetic field sensing element having a first maximum response axis, the first magnetic field sensing element operable to generate a first signal responsive to a first magnetic field proximate to the first magnetic field sensing element resulting from an electrical current passing through a conductor, wherein the magnetic flux concentrator is operable to influence a direction of the first magnetic field. The current sensor also includes a second magnetic field sensing element disposed proximate to the magnetic flux concentrator, the second magnetic field sensing element having a second maximum response axis, the second magnetic field sensing element operable to generate a second signal responsive to a second magnetic field proximate to the second magnetic field sensing element resulting from the electrical current passing through the conductor, wherein the magnetic flux concentrator is operable to influence a direction of the second magnetic field. The current sensor can also include a differencing circuit operable to subtract the first and second signals to generate a difference signal related to the electrical current.
