Coil actuated pressure sensor

A pressure sensor comprising:

• a chamber comprising a conductive portion and a deformable portion coupled to the conductive portion and susceptible to deformation in response to a pressure differential between an interior of the chamber and an exterior of the chamber;
• at least one coil responsive to an AC coil drive signal and configured to generate a magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the conductive portion of the chamber;
• at least one magnetic field sensing element disposed proximate to the at least one coil and to the conductive portion of the chamber and configured to generate a magnetic field signal responsive to an amplitude of a reflected magnetic field generated by the eddy currents;
• and
• a circuit coupled to the at least one magnetic field sensing element to receive the magnetic field signal and generate an output signal of the pressure sensor indicative of the pressure differential between the interior of the chamber and the exterior of the chamber in response to the magnetic field signal.
