Abstract:
A detector module is disclosed. In one example, the detector module is for a photo-acoustic gas sensor and comprises a first substrate made of a semiconductor material and comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a second substrate comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposite to the third surface, and a first recess formed in the fourth surface. The second substrate is connected with its fourth surface to the first substrate so that the first recess forms an airtight-closed first cell which is filled with a reference gas and a pressure sensitive element comprising a membrane disposed in contact with the reference gas. The detector module is further configured such that a beam of light pulses passes through the first substrate and thereby enters the first cell.

Abstract:
A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die attached to a substrate and a magnetic field sensor included as part of the same semiconductor package as the semiconductor die and positioned in close proximity to a current pathway of the semiconductor die so that the magnetic field sensor can sense a magnetic field produced by current flowing in the current pathway. The magnetic field sensor includes a first magnetic field sensing component galvanically isolated from the current pathway and positioned so that a magnetic field produced by current flowing in the current pathway impinges on the first magnetic field sensing component in a first direction. The magnetic field sensor also includes a second magnetic field sensing component galvanically isolated from the current pathway and positioned so that the magnetic field impinges on the second magnetic field sensing component in a second direction different than the first direction.

Abstract:
A photo-acoustic gas sensor includes a light emitter unit having a light emitter configured to emit a beam of light pulses with a predetermined repetition frequency and a wavelength corresponding to an absorption band of a gas to be sensed, and a detector unit having a microphone. The light emitter unit is arranged so that the beam of light pulses traverses an area configured to accommodate the gas. The detector unit is arranged so that the microphone can receive a signal oscillating with the repetition frequency.
