A power inductor for an electric power steering system includes a base structure. The power inductor also includes a power coil secured to the base structure. The power inductor further includes a connector terminal extending from the base structure for connection to a circuit board. The power inductor yet includes a power terminal for connection to a power source, the power terminal and the power coil being integrated into a single assembly.

A method for steering torque sensor stray magnetic field cancellation includes receiving, from at least one magnetic sensor disposed within a torque sensing region, a detected magnetic field corresponding to an angular displacement between an upper steering shaft and a lower steering shaft of an electronic power steering system. The method also includes generating a first torque signal based on the detected magnetic field and receiving, from at least one stray region sensor disposed outside of the torque sensing region, a detected stray magnetic field. The method also includes determining a torque signal error based on the detected stray magnetic field and generating a second torque signal based on the first torque signal and the torque signal error. The method also includes selectively controlling at least a portion of the electronic power steering system using the second torque signal.
