Abstract
A current sampling circuit is provided. The current sampling circuit includes a sampling unit provided with multiple sampling input terminals, a sampling reference terminal and at least one sampling output terminal. With a symmetric winding arrangement and a phase-offset configuration of control signals of the device, coupling voltage components sent to the current sampling circuit is self-counteracted. An amplification unit is further included in the current sampling circuit. Output signals of the current sampling circuit are calibrated by a calibration unit and compensated for temperature influences by a temperature compensation unit.
