Integrated Current Sensor

US Patent:
6781359, Aug 24, 2004
Filed:
Sep 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/251007
Inventors:
Jason Stauth - Concord NH
Richard Dickinson - Concord NH
John Sauber - Millbury MA
Ray Engel - Southbridge MA
Sandra Pinelle - Nashua NH
Assignee:
Allegro Microsystems, Inc. - Worcester MA
International Classification:
G01R 1520
US Classification:
324117H, 324126
Abstract:
An integrated current sensor includes a magnetic field transducer such as a Hall effect sensor, a magnetic core, and an electrical conductor. The conductor includes features for receiving portions of the Hall effect sensor and the core and the elements are dimensioned such that little or no relative movement among the elements is possible.

Semiconductor Structures And Packaging Methods

US Patent:
6028347, Feb 22, 2000
Filed:
Dec 10, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/763046
Inventors:
John B. Sauber - Millbury MA
John A. Kowaleski - Princeton MA
Jeffrey G. Maggard - Hudson MA
Assignee:
Digital Equipment Corporation - Maynard MA
International Classification:
H01L 2906
US Classification:
257622
Abstract:
A semiconductor structure having: semiconductor devices formed in an inner region of a semiconductor chip; a seal ring formed in the chip and disposed about the inner region; and, a plurality of trenches formed along a surface of the chip. The trenches are disposed in a corner region of the chip. A portion of the seal ring is disposed between the trenches and the inner region of the chip. The trenches are disposed along axes oblique to outer edges of the chip. A method is provided for encapsulating a semiconductor chip. The method includes the steps of: providing a semiconductor chip having active semiconductor devices in an inner region of the semiconductor chip and a seal ring in the chip about the inner region; and, forming a plurality of trenches in the chip, a portion of the seal ring being formed between the trenches and the inner region of the chip. A cover is formed having bottom portions in the trenches and on the passivation layer. In particular, the cover is formed by flowing plastic material over the passivation layer and into the trenches to fill such trenches with such plastic material.

Electronic Circuit And Method For Resetting A Magnetoresistance Element

US Patent:
8063634, Nov 22, 2011
Filed:
Jul 31, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/183106
Inventors:
John Sauber - Millbury MA, US
William P. Taylor - Amherst NH, US
Assignee:
Allegro Microsystems, Inc. - Worcester MA
International Classification:
G01R 33/02
US Classification:
324252, 324244, 324262
Abstract:
An electronic circuit includes a primary magnetoresistance element for providing a first output signal proportional to a magnetic field. The primary magnetoresistance element has a primary maximum response axis. The primary magnetoresistance element also has a hysteresis characteristic. The electronic circuit also includes a reset conductor disposed proximate to the magnetoresistance element. The electronic circuit also includes a secondary magnetic field sensing element for providing a second output signal proportional to a magnetic field. The secondary magnetic field sensing element has a secondary maximum response axis, which, in some embodiments, is substantially perpendicular to the primary maximum response axis. In operation, the primary magnetoresistance is reset in accordance with an excessive magnetic field sensed by the secondary magnetic field sensing element.
