Magnetic current sensors are widely used in applications where galvanic isolation and wide bandwidth (BW) are desired, such as in switched-mode power supplies and motor drivers. By using Hall plates for low frequencies and pick-up coils for high frequencies, hybrid magnetic sensors can achieve high resolution (tens of textmA) over a wide frequency range (up to 15MHz) [1]-[3]. However, previous designs exhibit either poor gain flatness over frequency or limited energy efficiency. This work presents a hybrid magnetic current sensor that textachievespm 1. 1% gain flatness, which is 3times better than prior art [1]-[3]. Its energy efficiency is also 11times better than the state-of-the-art [1], [4], [5].
