    摘要: A sensor apparatus comprises an electrically conductive chip carrier comprising a busbar, a first connection and a second connection, and a differential magnetic field sensor chip which is arranged on the chip carrier and has two sensor elements. The form of the busbar is such that a measurement current path running from the first connection to the second connection through the busbar comprises a main current path and a bypass current path, wherein the main current path and the bypass current path run parallel to one another, and a bypass current flowing through the bypass current path is less than a main current flowing through the main current path. The magnetic field sensor chip is configured to capture a magnetic field induced by the bypass current.

    摘要: Embodiments relate to integrated sonic sensors having a transmitter, a receiver and driver electronics integrated in a single, functional package. In one embodiment, a piezoelectric signal transmitter, a silicon microphone receiver and a controller/amplifier chip are concomitantly integrated in a semiconductor housing. The semiconductor housing, in embodiments, is functional in that at least a portion of the housing can comprise the piezoelectric element of the transmitter, with an inlet aperture opposite the silicon microphone receiver.
