A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) based current & magnetic field
sensor includes a MEMS-based magnetic field sensing component having a
capacitive magneto-MEMS component, a compensator and an output component
for sensing magnetic fields and for providing, in response thereto, an
indication of the current present in a respective conductor to be
measured. In one embodiment, first and second mechanical sense components
are electrically conductive and operate to sense a change in a
capacitance between the mechanical sense components in response to a
mechanical indicator from a magnetic-to-mechanical converter.
