Abstract
A current sensor is disclosed. The current sensor is substantially immune to stray fields due to the position and orientation of at least two magnetic field sensors and their respective axes of maximum sensitivity, as well as a total current sensor output that is a based on a difference of the individual magnetic field sensor outputs. The specific position and orientation of the magnetic field sensors allows for the current sensor to be smaller than known sensors of similar sensitivity.
