A fluxgate sensor is integrated in a printed circuit board. The fluxgate sensor has two bar-type (or rectangular-ring shaped) soft magnetic cores to form a closed magnetic path on a printed circuit board and an excitation coil in the form of a metal film is wound around the two bar-type soft magnetic cores either in a united structure that winds the two bar-type soft magnetic cores altogether, or in a separated structure that winds the two bar-type soft magnetic cores respectively, both in a pattern of number '8'. A pick-up coil is mounted on the excitation coil, either winding the two bars altogether, or respectively, in a solenoid pattern. The fluxgate sensor integrated in the printed circuit board can be mass-produced at a cheap manufacturing cost. The fluxgate sensor also can be made compact-sized, and at the same time, is capable of forming a closed-magnetic path. As a result, flux leakage is minimized, and the fluxgate sensor has a high sensitivity as it detects the magnetic field through a variable driving.

A fluxgate sensor integrated in a printed circuit board. The fluxgate sensor has soft magnetic cores having a lower core and an upper core mounted on the lower core, for forming a closed magnetic path on a printed circuit board, an excitation coil formed as a metal film, alternately winding the upper and the lower soft magnetic cores substantially in a number '8' pattern, and a pick-up coil formed as a metal film, having a structure of winding the upper and the lower soft magnetic cores substantially in a solenoid pattern, the pick-up coil being placed on the same plane as an external contour of the excitation coil.
