Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes processing a metal substrate, performing a first etch on a first surface of the metal substrate to form, for an integrated circuit package, secondary leads and a curved component having two primary leads and performing a second etch, on a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface, at locations on the secondary leads and locations on the curved component to provide a locking mechanism. Each primary lead located at a respective end of the curved component.

Abstract: A back-biased magnetic field sensor can have one or more vertical Hall effect elements arranged within a substrate region of a substrate, wherein magnetic fields are oriented substantially vertical to the substrate within the substrate region when a ferromagnetic object is not proximate. When the ferromagnetic object becomes proximate, the magnetic field sensor can sense at least the proximity, and, in some embodiments, can also localize a position of the ferromagnetic object relative to the magnetic field sensor.

Abstract: A magnet includes a magnetic body having a length and width. The body has a first notch in one side and extending along at least a portion of the length of the body, and a second notch in an opposite side of the body extending along at least a portion of the length of the body. A magnetic field produced by the body has a substantially uniform magnetic flux along at least a portion of the length of the body. A system for detecting a target includes one or more magnetic field sensing elements positioned within the portion of the magnetic field having substantially uniform flux.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include galvanically-isolated (voltage-isolated) transformer-based integrated circuit (IC) packages providing cavities or spaces for an included magnetic core to underdo size changes due to magnetostriction without being constrained or substantially constrained, thus, providing for improved magnetic performance. The circuits, ICs and IC packages and modules may include various types of circuits. In some examples, IC packages or modules may include a galvanically-isolated gate driver or other high voltage circuit.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor includes a lead frame, a passive component, semiconductor die supporting a magnetic field sensing element and attached to the lead frame, a non-conductive mold material enclosing the die and at least a portion of the lead frame, and a ferromagnetic mold material secured to a portion of the non-conductive mold material. The lead frame has a recessed region and the passive component is positioned in the recessed region. The ferromagnetic mold material may comprise a soft ferromagnetic material to form a concentrator or a hard ferromagnetic material to form a bias magnet.

Abstract: In one aspect, an angle sensor includes a first plurality of magnetoresistance elements located at a first location on an axis and a second plurality of magnetoresistance elements located at a second location on the axis. The first plurality of magnetoresistance elements includes a first one or more magnetoresistance elements each having a reference direction in a first direction; and a second one or more magnetoresistance elements each having a reference direction in a second direction. The second plurality of magnetoresistance elements includes a third one or more magnetoresistance elements each having a reference direction in the first direction, and a fourth one or more magnetoresistance elements each having a reference direction in the second direction. The angle sensor senses movement of a magnetic target, and the magnetic target is a ring magnet or a single pole magnet.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a current sensor having an elongate current conductor having an input and an output and a longitudinal axis. First, second, third and fourth magnetic field sensing elements are coupled in a bridge configuration and positioned in a plane parallel to a surface of the current conductor such that the second and fourth magnetic field sensing elements comprise inner elements and the first and third magnetic field sensing elements comprise outer elements. Embodiments of the sensor reduce the effects of stray fields on the sensor.
