Current sensor
Abstract:
A current sensor includes a bus bar through which an electric current to be measured flows, a first magnetic sensing element including a first magneto-sensitive portion including a magneto-resistive element, and a second magnetic sensing element including a second magneto-sensitive portion including a magneto-resistive element. Strength of a magnetic field generated by the electric current sensed by the first magneto-sensitive portion is different from a strength of the magnetic field sensed by the second magneto-sensitive portion. A first bias magnetic field is applied to the first magneto-sensitive portion and a second bias magnetic field in a direction opposite to a direction of the first bias magnetic field is applied to the second magneto-sensitive portion.
