Abstract
The present disclosure relates to sensors and, more particularly, to magnetic field sensors. More specifically, a structure includes a package with a wraparound geometry and discontinuous ends, and includes a low permeability magnetic material.
Description
Claims
  • 1. A structure comprising a package with a wraparound geometry and discontinuous ends, and comprising a low permeability magnetic material.
  • 2. The structure of claim 1, wherein the wraparound geometry is structured to convert a magnetic field from a first plane to a magnetic field in a second plane.
  • 3. The structure of claim 1, further comprising a space between the discontinuous ends.
  • 4. The structure of claim 1, wherein the wraparound geometry includes a first section parallel to a second section and a third section orthogonal to the first section and the second section.
  • 5. The structure of claim 4, further comprising a space between legs of the second section.
  • 6. The structure of claim 5, wherein the first section and the second section are separated from one another by a distance “x”.
  • 7. The structure of claim 6, wherein the distance “x” is a length of the third section.
