Abstract
A current sensor of an embodiment includes a U-shaped conductor through which a current flows, a first magnetic field sensor configured to receive a magnetic field generated by the conductor in a first direction, and a second magnetic field sensor configured to receive the magnetic field in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Claims9
A current sensor comprising:
- a conductor including a first region, a second region, and a third region connecting an end of the first region and an end of the second region;
- a first magnetic field sensor configured to receive a magnetic field generated by the conductor in a first direction;
- and
- a second magnetic field sensor configured to receive the magnetic field in a second direction opposite to the first direction,
- wherein:
- the first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor are arranged facing each other with the third region interposed between the first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor, and
- a magnetism sensing portion of each of the first magnetic field sensor and the second magnetic field sensor does not overlap with the conductor.
