    Abstract: The invention discloses a fluxgate chip packaging structure thereof. The fluxgate chip packaging structure comprises a fluxgate bare chip, a conductive pin, and a packaging layer wrapping the fluxgate bare chip and a pin tail of the conductive pin; and the fluxgate bare chip is electrically connected to the pin tail. Based on the fluxgate bare chip, the fluxgate chip packaging structure forms a universal chip which can be applied to a fluxgate current sensor; during use, the fluxgate bare chip can be quickly connected to the fluxgate current sensor through the conductive pin, and the fluxgate chip packaging structure can be matched with the internal structure of existing fluxgate current sensors to realize magnetic field detection of sensors; and the fluxgate chip packaging structure can completely replace traditional enameled wire probes, thus greatly reducing the probe size.

    Abstract: Fluxgate current transducer including a fluxgate device comprising a saturable soft magnetic core and an excitation coil, and a processing circuit comprising a control circuit and a voltage generator connected to the control circuit for generating an alternating current in the excitation coil, the voltage generator generating a voltage oscillating between a maximum positive voltage (+Umax) and a maximum negative voltage (−Umax) configured to alternatingly saturate the soft magnetic core. The control circuit is configured to generate a voltage having an absolute value of amplitude less than an absolute value of said maximum positive voltage (+Umax) and said maximum negative voltage (−Umax) voltage during a variable time window (Tn, Tn+1, Tn+2, Tn+3) after detection of the excitation coil current reaching a threshold current (S3) representative of saturation of the magnetic core during at least a subset of a plurality of alternating voltage periods (P).

    Abstract: An open-loop fluxgate-type current sensor is described. The current sensor includes a single winding around a core that combines drive and sense that is used as both an excitation source and a feedback element to measure current through a primary winding. The current sensor further includes an H-bridge driver to impress voltage to the single winding to cause current to saturate the core, the volage being impressed with opposing polarities repeatedly causing the core to saturate at opposing polarities. The current sensor further includes an analog transconductance integrator that continuously integrates the current to infer magnetizing force being driven into the core at the opposing polarities. The current sensor further includes a microcontroller unit (MCU) that calculates residual current based on the inferred magnetizing force being driven into the core at the opposing polarities and cause remedial action to be taken when the calculated residual current exceeds a threshold.

    Abstract: A near magnetic field variation detection method comprises following steps of: measuring magnetic field by a first magnetic field sensor and a second magnetic field sensor respectively; and calculating a magnetic field measurement difference, wherein the magnetic field measurement difference is (1) a magnitude of a difference of a first-magnetic-field-measurement measured by the first magnetic field sensor and a second-magnetic-field-measurement measured by the second magnetic field sensor, or (2) a magnitude of a difference of a first-magnetic-field-measurement-component measured by the first magnetic field sensor along a characteristic direction and a second-magnetic-field-measurement-component measured by the second magnetic field sensor along the characteristic direction; wherein a near magnetic field variation is occurred when (a) the magnetic field measurement difference is continuously greater than a characteristic-threshold within a characteristic-time-period, or (b) an average value of the magnetic field measurement difference is greater than a characteristic-average-threshold within a characteristic-average-time-period.
