Electrical Modeling of Monolithically Integrated GMR Based Current Sensors

We report on the electrical compact model, using Verilog-A, of a monolithically integrated giant magnetoresistance (GMR) based electrical current sensors. For this purpose, a specifically designed ASIC (AMS $0.35\mu \mathrm{m}$ technology) has been considered, onto which such sensors have been patterned and fabricated, following a two-steps procedure. This work is focused on the DC regime model extraction, giving evidences of its good performance and stating the bases for subsequent model improvements.
