  • Patent number: 12733512
    Abstract: A current sensor integrated circuit package includes a primary conductor having an input portion and an output portion, both with reduced area edges. Secondary leads each have an exposed portion and an elongated portion that is offset with respect to the exposed portion. A semiconductor die is disposed adjacent to the primary conductor on an insulator portion and at least one magnetic field sensing element is supported by the semiconductor die. A package body includes a first portion enclosing the semiconductor die and a portion of the primary conductor and a second portion enclosing the elongated portion of the plurality of secondary leads. The first package body portion has a first width configured to expose the input and output portions of the primary conductor and the second package body portion has a second width between a first and second package body side edges that is larger than the first width.

  • Patent number: 12235294
    Abstract: A current sensor assembly can include: a coil structure having a first coil and a second coil connected in series, the coil structure configured to generate a differential magnetic field responsive to an electrical current passing through the first and second coils; a first magnetic field sensing element disposed proximate to the first coil and operable to generate a first signal responsive to the differential magnetic field passing through the first magnetic field sensing element in a first direction; a second magnetic field sensing element disposed proximate to the second coil and operable to generate a second signal responsive to the differential magnetic field passing through the second magnetic field sensing element in a second direction; and a circuit operable to subtract the first and second signals to generate a differential signal proportional to the electrical current.
