摘要: In one aspect, a magnetic field current sensor includes an annihilation detector. The annihilation detector includes an annihilation bridge that includes magnetoresistance elements. The annihilation detector also includes a current bridge that includes at least two of the magnetoresistance elements, a first comparator configured to compare an output signal from the annihilation bridge and a second comparator configured to compare an output signal from the current bridge. An output of the annihilation detector indicates whether an annihilation exists in one or more of the magnetoresistance elements using at least one of the outputs signals of the first and second comparators.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for a differential receiver having a differential latch. The latch can include first and second circuits each having first and second inputs to receive a differential input signal and first and second outputs to output a differential output signal. An offset structure includes a bandgap reference circuit with a first current source and a resistor, wherein the offset compensation structure provides a stable threshold for an input signal on the first and second inputs.

摘要: A magnetic sensor including a plurality of magnetoresistive elements; each magnetoresistive element including a ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization that is orientable at or above a threshold temperature; the magnetic sensor further includes a plasmonic structure destined to be irradiated by electromagnetic radiation and including a spatially periodic plasmonic array of metallic structures. The period of the plasmonic array and the lateral dimension of the metallic structures are adjusted to obtain plasmon resonance of the plasmonic structure for a given wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation. The plasmonic array is arranged in the magnetic sensor such as to heat the first ferromagnetic layer at or above the threshold temperature, from the enhanced absorption of the electromagnetic radiation by plasmon resonance. The present disclosure further concerns a system including the sensor and an emitting device configured to emit electromagnetic radiation.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining signal offset correction signals. In embodiments, first and second magnetic field sensing elements generate first and second channels that are in quadrature. Signal correction processing includes storing amplitudes of the first and second channel signals when an amplitude of the channel signals cross zero and determine an offset of the first and second channel signals based on the stored amplitudes.

摘要: A current sensor system includes a current sensor integrated circuit (IC) and a printed circuit board (PCB) having a ground plane with a feature configured to reduce an eddy current. The current sensor IC includes a lead frame comprising a die attach pad and at least one lead, a semiconductor die having a first surface attached to the die attach pad and a second, opposing surface, at least one magnetic field sensing element supported by the semiconductor die and configured to sense a current in a proximate primary conductor, and a non-conductive mold material enclosing the semiconductor die and a portion of the at least one lead. The PCB ground plane feature can take various forms such as a hole of a dimension larger than the current sensor IC, elongated cuts, or x-shaped cuts.

摘要: A sensor system includes a signal sensing block including at least two sensing elements. Each of the at least two sensing elements is configured to generate an output that represents a first parameter associated with the sensor system. The sensor system also includes a data acquisition block configured to convert the outputs of the at least two sensing elements into digital data to be retrieved by a data retrieval block. The digital data is stored in one or more data registers of the data acquisition block. The sensor system also includes a data freeze block configured to cause the one or more data registers to refrain from updating with new data while the data retrieval block is retrieving the stored digital data.
