A current sensor system includes a current sensor integrated circuit (IC) and a printed circuit board (PCB) having a ground plane with a feature configured to reduce an eddy current. The current sensor IC includes a lead frame comprising a die attach pad and at least one lead, a semiconductor die having a first surface attached to the die attach pad and a second, opposing surface, at least one magnetic field sensing element supported by the semiconductor die and configured to sense a current in a proximate primary conductor, and a non-conductive mold material enclosing the semiconductor die and a portion of the at least one lead. The PCB ground plane feature can take various forms such as a hole of a dimension larger than the current sensor IC, elongated cuts, or x-shaped cuts.
