Abstract
A micro-electromechanical system current and magnetic field sensor is presented. The micro-electromechanical system current and magnetic field sensor is configured to sense a magnetic field produced by a current carrying conductor. The sensor includes a structural component comprising a substrate and a compliant layer, a magnetic-to-mechanical converter coupled to the structural component to provide a mechanical indication of the magnetic field. The sensor further includes a strain responsive component coupled to the structural component to sense the mechanical indication and to provide an indication of the current in the current carrying conductor in response thereto.
