Abstract: A current sensor integrated circuit including a magnetic field sensing element, a current conductor, an insulation structure, and a power calculation circuit is configured to meet safety isolation requirements. The current sensor integrated circuit may include or be used with isolation resistors to allow for voltage from a high voltage side to be sensed at a low voltage side of the circuit. The insulation structure, current sensor package, and isolation resistors can achieve at least 500 Vrms isolation.

Abstract: A system, comprising a bus bar having a first through-hole formed therein and a first current sensor that is disposed adjacent to the first branch. The first through-hole is arranged to define, at least in part, a first branch of the bus bar and a second branch of the bus bar. The first branch has different length and/or thickness than the second branch. The first current sensor is arranged to measure an electrical current through the bus bar.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor includes a substrate, a first channel comprising a first magnetic field sensing element supported by the substrate and configured to generate a first magnetic field signal indicative of a first magnetic field experienced by the first magnetic field sensing element, a second channel comprising a second magnetic field sensing element supported by the substrate and configured to generate a second magnetic field signal indicative of a second magnetic field experienced by the second magnetic field sensing element, and at least one shield configured to reduce a bandwidth of the first magnetic field by a first amount and to reduce a bandwidth of the second magnetic field by a second amount. The shield is able to act as a magnetic anti-aliasing filter for the magnetic field sensing elements, which can then be chopped or sampled.

Abstract: A sensor includes a sensing element configured to generate a sensing element output signal indicative of a sensed parameter and a signal path responsive to the sensing element output signal and having at least one of an adjustable gain or an adjustable offset, wherein the signal path is configured to generate a sensor output signal indicative of the sensed parameter. A supply voltage detector is configured to generate a supply voltage signal indicative of which of a plurality of voltage ranges a supply voltage of the sensor falls within and at least one of the adjustable gain or the adjustable offset is adjustable in response to the supply voltage signal.
