Abstract
The circuit arrangement for generating square pulses according to a magnetic field strength has an edge-triggered flip-flop a comparator connected to the flip-flop; a bridge with four bridge segments, each including an electronically controlled switch, and with a transverse branch including an energy-storing element consisting of an inductive resistor acting as a magnetic field probe; and a switching threshold resistor connected with the energy-storing element and with a signal input of the comparator. The switches are each connected in pairs in crossover fashion by the flip-flop, so that current flow in the transverse branch is reversible. An improved compensation current sensor, which is less sensitive to component tolerances, includes the circuit arrangement for generating square pulses in a controller.
