Abstract: A current measurement circuit, for wireless charging systems, for instance, comprises a differential input configured to have applied an input voltage sensed across a shunt resistor traversed by a current to be measured, a voltage reversal switch arrangement selectively switchable to reverse the polarity of the input voltage as applied between a first and a second voltage sensing nodes as well as a first and a second current flow line between the voltage sensing nodes and ground. A difference resistor intermediate the two current flow lines is traversed by a current which is a function of the input voltage as applied to the first and second sensing nodes via the voltage reversal switch arrangement. First and second current sensing nodes at the two current flow lines are coupled to a differential current output via a current reversal switch arrangement selectively switchable to reverse the output current polarity.

Abstract: A differential current conveyor circuit includes two or more single-ended current conveyor stages and a common bias stage. First and second switches are set between the control terminals of the transistors in the common bias stage and a respective one of a first and a second coupling line of the single ended stages can be switched between the following: a reset state of the circuit with the transistors in the common bias stage coupled to the first and second coupling lines with the single-ended stages set to a bias condition; and a sensing state of the circuit with the transistors in the common bias stage decoupled from the first and second coupling lines, with the single-ended stages in a high impedance state with the control terminals of the input transistors of the single ended stages capacitively coupled to the input terminal.

Abstract: An integrated current sensor device includes a supporting structure of conductive material, arranged within a package, and an integrated circuit die including a first and second magnetic-field sensor elements that are arranged along a sensor axis. An electronic circuit operatively coupled to the first and second magnetic-field sensor elements performs a differential detection of electric current. The supporting structure defines a current path for the electric current. The current path includes: a first path portion extending at the first magnetic-field sensor element; a second path portion extending at the second magnetic-field sensor element; and a third path portion that connects the first and second path portions. The first path portion and the second path portion are arranged on opposite sides of the sensor axis, and the third path portion crosses the sensor axis along a transverse axis.
