  • Redundant magnetic angle sensor with improved accuracy
    Patent number: 10048328
    Abstract: An angle sensor may comprise a first primary sensing element and a second primary sensing element. The first primary sensing element may be positioned adjacent to the second primary sensing element in a plane substantially parallel with respect to a face of a magnet. The angle sensor may comprise a first auxiliary sensing element and a second auxiliary sensing element. The first primary sensing element and the second primary sensing element may be positioned between the first auxiliary sensing element and the second auxiliary sensing element in the plane substantially parallel with respect to the face of the magnet.
    Type: Grant

  • Balancing an eddy current effect and a skin effect on a magnetic sensor using die paddle notches
    Patent number: 9733280
    Abstract: A magnetic current sensor may include a first sensing element, a second sensing element, and a die paddle. The die paddle may include a first edge and a second edge substantially parallel to a direction of the current. The die paddle may include a first notch, extending from the first edge in a direction of the first sensing element, with a first width in a range of approximately 50 percent to approximately 100 percent of a distance between the first edge and the first sensing element. The die paddle may include a second notch, extending from the second edge in a direction of the second sensing element, with a second width in a range of approximately 50 percent to approximately 100 percent of a distance between the second edge and the second sensing element.
