Abstract: An integrated fluxgate device has a magnetic core on a control circuit. The magnetic core has a volume and internal structure sufficient to have low magnetic noise and low non-linearity. A stress control structure is disposed proximate to the magnetic core. An excitation winding, a sense winding and a compensation winding are disposed around the magnetic core. An excitation circuit disposed in the control circuit is coupled to the excitation winding, configured to provide current at high frequency to the excitation winding sufficient to generate a saturating magnetic field in the magnetic core during each cycle at the high frequency. An isolation structure is disposed between the magnetic core and the windings, sufficient to enable operation of the excitation winding and the sense winding at the high frequency at low power.

Abstract: In a described example, a circuit includes a sensor circuit including multiple magnetic field sensors having respective sensor outputs. The magnetic field sensors are configured to provide magnetic field sensor signals at the respective sensor outputs representative of a measure of current flow through a conductive structure. A combiner interface has combiner inputs and a combiner output. The combiner inputs are coupled to the respective sensor outputs. The combiner interface is configured to provide an aggregate sensor measurement at the combiner output responsive to the magnetic field sensor signals, in which the aggregate sensor measurement is decoupled from magnetic fields generated responsive to the current flow through the conductive structure.

Abstract: An integrated fluxgate device has a magnetic core disposed over a semiconductor substrate. A first winding is disposed in a first metallization level above and a second metallization level below the magnetic core, and is configured to generate a first magnetic field in the magnetic core. A second winding is disposed in the first and second metallization levels and is configured to generate a second magnetic field in the magnetic core. A third winding is disposed in the first and second metallization levels and is configured to sense a magnetic field in the magnetic core that is the net of the first and second magnetic fields.

Abstract: A current-sensing system includes a conductor for carrying a first electrical current generating a first magnetic field. A device, spaced from the conductor by a clearance, includes a semiconductor integrated circuit die in a package. The semiconductor integrated circuit die includes at least one elongated bar of a first ferromagnetic material magnetized by the first magnetic field; a sensor comprising a first coil wrapped around the at least one elongated bar to sense the bar's magnetization; and an electronic driver creating a second electrical current flowing through a second coil wrapped around the at least one elongated bar generating a second magnetic field to compensate the at least one bar's magnetization. The package has a first outer surface free of device terminals. A discrete plate of a second ferromagnetic material is positioned in the clearance and is conformal with the first outer surface of the package.

Abstract: An integrated AMR sensor includes a half bridge with two resistors, a Wheatstone bridge with four resistors, or a first Wheatstone bridge with four resistors in an orthogonal configuration, and a second Wheatstone bridge with four resistors in an orthogonal configuration, oriented at 45 degrees with respect to the first Wheatstone bridge. Each resistor includes first magnetoresistive segments with current flow directions oriented at a first tilt angle with respect to a reference direction of the resistor, and second magnetoresistive segments with current flow directions oriented at a second tilt angle with respect to the reference direction. The tilt angles are selected to advantageously cancel angular errors due to shape anisotropies of the magnetoresistive segments. In another implementation, the disclosed system/method include a method for identifying tilt angles which cancel angular errors due to shape anisotropies of the magnetoresistive segments.

Abstract: An integrated fluxgate device, which includes a magnetic core, an excitation coil, and a sense coil. The magnetic core has a longitudinal edge and a terminal edge. The excitation coil coils around the longitudinal edge of the magnetic core, and the excitation coil has a first number of excitation coil members within a proximity of the terminal edge. The sense coil coils around the longitudinal edge of the magnetic core, and the sense coil has a second number of sense coil members within the proximity of the terminal edge. For reducing fluxgate noise, the second number of sense coil members may be less than the first number of excitation coil members within the proximity of the terminal edge.

Abstract: A method of magnetic forming an integrated fluxgate sensor includes providing a patterned magnetic core on a first nonmagnetic metal or metal alloy layer on a dielectric layer over a first metal layer that is on or in an interlevel dielectric layer (ILD) which is on a substrate. A second nonmagnetic metal or metal alloy layer is deposited including over and on sidewalls of the magnetic core. The second nonmagnetic metal or metal alloy layer is patterned, where after patterning the second nonmagnetic metal or metal alloy layer together with the first nonmagnetic metal or metal alloy layer encapsulates the magnetic core to form an encapsulated magnetic core. After patterning, the encapsulated magnetic core is magnetic field annealed using an applied magnetic field having a magnetic field strength of at least 0.1 T at a temperature of at least 150° C.
