摘要： A method is provided for sensing and measuring an electrical current. The current to be measured is applied to a deflectable member in a sensing module in the presence of a magnetic field. Deflection of the member is detected as an indication of the current. A nulling current may be applied to one or more additional deflectable members mechanically linked to the deflectable member. Feedback or readout signals indicative of deflection of the members are monitored. The nulling current is modulated to drive the feedback signals to a desired level. The nulling current value is converted to a value representative of the current to be measured.

摘要： A current sensor includes a deflectable member disposed in a magnetic field. Nulling or compensating members may be mechanically coupled to the deflectable member. Feedback or readout devices coupled to the structure provide signals indicative of deflection of the deflectable member under the influence of applied current and the magnetic field. Nulling current applied to the nulling members tends to oppose deflection of the deflectable member. The nulling current may be modulated to drive the feedback signal to a desired level and is used as a basis for calculating the current to be measured. The current may be measured directly upon calibration of feedback devices coupled to the deflectable member or to the nulling members. Arrays of sensors may be coupled to common busses for applying measured and nulling currents to sensors of the arrays and for detecting feedback signals.

摘要： A shielded through-via that reduces the effect of parasitic capacitance between the through-via and surrounding wafer while providing high isolation from neighboring signals. A shield electrode is formed in the insulating region and spaced apart from the through-via. A coupling element couples at least the time-varying portion of the signal carried on the through-via to the shield electrode. This reduces the effect of any parasitic capacitance between the through-via and the shield electrode, hence the surrounding wafer.
