<p>A current determiner having an output (60) at which representations of input currents are provided including an input conductor (25) for the input current and a current sensor (54) supported on a substrate (10) electrically isolated from one another but with the sensor (54) positioned in the magnetic fields arising about the input conductor (25) due to any input currents. The sensor (54) extends along the substrate (10) in a direction primarily perpendicular to the extent of the input conductor and is formed of at least a pair of thin-film ferromagnetic layers (12, 13) separated by a non-magnetic conductive layer (14). The sensor (54) can be electrically connected to an electronic circuitry (26-27, 51-52, 58-60) formed in the substrate (10) including a nonlinearity adaptation circuit to provide representations of the input currents of increased accuracy despite nonlinearities in the current sensor (54), and can include further current sensors (54, 55) in bridge circuits.</p> |
