    Abstract: A system may include a non-intrusive sensor circuitry configured to provide electrical measurement data, including, for example, current data, voltage data, power factor data, active power consumption data, reactive power consumption data, or a combination thereof. A transient event detector may sweep the electrical measurement data with a first window and a second window, the first window adjacent to the second window. The transient event detector may identify a start and end of transient activity based on electrical measurement data referenced by separate adjacent windows. The transient event detector may capture a transient activity data segment comprising a portion of the electrical measurement data between first index and the second index.

    Abstract: A distributed photodiode with FIR filtering function enabled by a lumped transmission line is provided. The distributed photodiode includes inductors, a plurality of photodiode segments, photodiode biasing components, and termination impedance. The electrical bandwidth due to the junction parasitic capacitance of the photodiode is increased as the parasitic capacitance is absorbed in the transmission line structure. Moreover, the delay elements inherent in the transmission line enable implementation of an analog finite impulse response (FIR) filter that has equalization capability to allow a customized photodiode frequency response compensation.

    Abstract: A method of sensing a current in a conductor includes controlling a digital to analog converter output to cancel residual offset voltage in a magnetic tunnel junction device prior to sensing the current with the magnetic tunnel junction device. The method includes switching input to the magnetic tunnel junction device between a fixed voltage and an output of a digital to analog converter while switching input to a band pass filter between a lower and an upper voltage output of the magnetic tunnel junction device. The output of the digital to analog converter is modified to provide a low-amplitude unsaturated sine-wave at an output of the band pass filter, at which point changes in the output of the band pass filter are associated with the amount of current in a sensed conductor.

    Abstract: System and methods for high accuracy, non-intrusive current sensing are provided. A system may include two magnetic field sensors configured for differential sensing. The system may further include frontend circuitry configured to remove direct current (DC) offset of the magnetic field sensors, upconvert the outputs of the magnetic field sensors, and filter out at least one frequency component from the up-converted signals. The system may receive output signals from the front-end circuitry corresponding to each sensor. The system may further calculate a differential signal based on the output signals. The system may apply optimal detection based on the differential signal and a reference signal to calculate a measurement of current flow. The system may determine a phase angle measurement between the differential signal and the reference signal to calculate a direction of the current flow in the conductor and output various measurement information related to the detected current.
