A parameter, such as the current flowing through a conductor, is measured by initially passing an energizing magnetic flux through a hall element to produce a hall voltage proportional to the sensed parameter. To eliminate temperature, aging and non-linear effects normally associated with a hall element, the amplitude of the hall voltage is effectively ignored and only its polarity is detected and employed to control the operation of an integrator to develop a cancelling current to establish an equal, but opposite direction, cancelling flux in the hall element. With a zero net flux, the integrator will hold the cancelling current at the level required to balance out and cancel the initial energizing flux. Since the cancelling current needed to null the energizing flux will be proportional to that flux, the current may be used to produce a control voltage to represent the measured parameter.
