Abstract:
A current sensor includes an induction coil, a Hall sensor, and a calibration coil loaded by a generator continuously with a calibration current of defined frequency ωcal. A first evaluation circuit is loaded with the induction signal. A second evaluation circuit, whose input receives the Hall signal, includes a low-pass filter. A third evaluation circuit evaluates a part of the Hall signal that is attributed to the calibration current and uses it for defining a parameter of the second evaluation circuit. A fourth evaluation circuit generates an output signal that represents the current magnitude and is the sum of the output signal of the first evaluation circuit and the output signal of the second evaluation circuit minus the part of the output signal of the second evaluation circuit which is attributed to the calibration current.
