Abstract
In one aspect, a magnetic field current sensor includes an annihilation detector. The annihilation detector includes an annihilation bridge that includes magnetoresistance elements. The annihilation detector also includes a current bridge that includes at least two of the magnetoresistance elements, a first comparator configured to compare an output signal from the annihilation bridge and a second comparator configured to compare an output signal from the current bridge. An output of the annihilation detector indicates whether an annihilation exists in one or more of the magnetoresistance elements using at least one of the outputs signals of the first and second comparators.
