  • Publication number: 20170108559
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensing apparatus including a magnetic flux concentrator and a plurality of magnetoresistance units is provided. The magnetic flux concentrator has a top surface, a bottom surface opposite to the top surface, and a plurality of side surfaces connecting the top surface and the bottom surface. The magnetoresistance units are respectively disposed beside the side surfaces. The magnetoresistance units are electrically connected to form at least one kind of Wheatstone full bridge in three different periods, so as to measure magnetic field components in three different directions, respectively, and to cause the at least one kind of Wheatstone full bridge to output three signals corresponding to the magnetic field components in the three different directions, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9562953
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensing module including a plurality of magnetic flux concentrators and a plurality of sensing elements is provided. Each of the magnetic flux concentrators extends along a first extension direction, and the magnetic flux concentrators are arranged along a second direction. The sensing elements are respectively disposed at a position corresponding to a position between the magnetic flux concentrators and positions corresponding to two sides of the magnetic flux concentrators arranged along the second direction. Sensing directions of the sensing elements are substantially the same. A measurement method and a manufacturing method of a magnetic field sensing module are also provided.
