Abstract
Abstract. We developed a pin-type current probe with high sensitivity, targeting electrical-probing printed circuit boards (PCBs). The developed sensor showed good enough characteristics, with 1 mA resolution on current measurements and up to 1 MHz operating frequency for analyzing highly integrated PCBs. During its characterization, however, we experienced a monotonously varying output signal in the time range of a few tens of minutes. We modeled it as the thermal-offset drift, being caused by Joule heating during sensor operation, and
showed several solutions for reducing the offset by modifying the planar Hall resistance (PHR)
layout and electric operation conditions and applying sensor circuitry with
pulse width modulation.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Sensors and Sensor Systems (JSSS) is an international open-access journal dedicated to science, application, and advancement of sensors and sensors as part of measurement systems. The emphasis is on sensor principles and phenomena, measuring systems, sensor technologies, and applications. The goal of JSSS is to provide a platform for scientists and professionals in academia – as well as for developers, engineers, and users – to discuss new developments and advancements in sensors and sensor systems.
