Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated system for electric-current monitoring includes a package and a MEMS sensor device arranged inside the package to provide an output electrical signal indicative of the electric current to be monitored. A sensing coil is provided within the package. The electric current to be monitored flows through the sensing coil. The MEMS sensor device is arranged relative to the sensing coil so as to be affected by flux lines of a magnetic field generated as a whole by the sensing coil as a function of the electric current to be monitored.
